4) 4) The Prophet (ﷺ) spared the lives of 80 armed Meccans who wanted to attack him and the Muslims [Saheeh Muslim, Book 32, Hadith 160 & 162]
5) The Prophet (ﷺ) forgave the murderer of his uncle [Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Book 59, Hadith 399]
6) The Prophet (ﷺ) forgave the Jewess who poisoned him [Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Book 47, Hadith 786] Eventually she was killed because a companion died later on from the poison, however before that occurred, the Prophet (ﷺ) forgave her.
7) The Prophet (ﷺ) forgave the Bedouin who tried to kill him [Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Book 59, Hadith 458]

11) The Prophet (ﷺ) forgave Shaybah ibn ‘Uthman and this is despite the fact that this was during the battle of Hunayn and while Shaybah was trying to kill the Prophet. [Ibn Hisham. Read more here.]
12) The Prophet (ﷺ) did not kill ‘Umayr ibn Wahb, despite ‘Umayr’s intention to come and kill the Prophet. [Reported in at-Tabarani. Read more [here](www.islamforchristians.com/prophet-muhammad-react-personal-abuse-part-ii).]
13) The Prophet (ﷺ) did not kill the Rabbi Zaid ibn Sanah when he spoke to the Prophet in a disrespectful manner in front of the companions. [Reported in Saheeh ibn Hibban, Al-Mu’jam al-Kabeer and others. Read more here.]
14) The Prophet (ﷺ) did not try to kill the hypocrites who tried to kill him during the march to Tabuk. [Al-Bayhaqi’s Dalaail an-Nubuwwah]

20) The Prophet (ﷺ) accepted the Islam of his enemies and didn’t kill them, despite their previous crimes. This only goes to show that the Prophet’s end goal was to spread Islam, not kill for his own ego. Such examples include Safwan bin Ummayah, Abi Sufyan bin Harb, Hind bin ‘Utbah, Abi Sufyan bin Al-Harith, Abdullah bin Abi Ummayah bin Al-Mugheerah, Ka’b bin Zuhayr, Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl, Amr bin al-‘Aas, Khaled bin al-Waleed, ‘Adi bin Hatim, etc. [You could read the stories of some of the aforementioned here and here.]
There are many more examples one could provide, however what is clear is how Islamic critics read the Seerah of the Prophet (ﷺ) with one eye closed and present a false picture of the Prophet (ﷺ) as a bloodthirsty warmonger.
