What is prophets compliance to divine measures?
Divine measures are the principles related to this world and the Hereafter, which were revealed to the Prophet (pbuh). The wisdom behind the Messenger of Allah being sent as a guide to humanity is that so he can live an exemplary life within the limits of commands and prohibitions of Allah and so people can practice the Divine orders.
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) lived his entire life in lofty consciousness of being under Divine control. This characteristic of his manifests itself in his compliance to Divine orders in every aspect of his life, be it something personal or something about other people. Our master’s (pbuh) success in this matter comes from the fact that his love and submission to Allah imprinted deeply in his soul. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh), who was the most knowledgeable and fearful of Allah the Almighty, was the most fastidious one in obedience to His orders and prohibitions.
