Judgement and Knowledge

Mūsā grew up in the palace of Firʿawn.

And when he reached his full strength and was mature in manhood, We gave him ḥukm and ʿilm. Ḥukm is good and right judgement, and ʿilm is knowledge — and we spoke about the importance of these two when speaking about Yūsuf. Allah gave the prophets both: not knowledge alone, and not good judgement alone, but good judgement and knowledge together, because these two work together to form a complete personality. And thus do We reward those who do good.

Mūsā was described by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as a very large and well-built man. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said that he was very dark-skinned and that his hair was curly. These are the descriptions of Mūsā in the hadith, and he had a very strong presence and personality.
