Delegation is an essential tool that leaders need to achieve more, as well as an approach to develop others. However, delegation is not always done effectively. This paper reviews some techniques that can lead to the desired outcomes of delegating. Since Prophet Muhammad is considered one of the most influential people in history and the profound impacts of his leadership are well known, an investigation of the Prophet's approaches when delegating tasks to others may offer an in-depth understanding of productive delegation that provides reciprocal benefits to both the leader and the subordinates who are to perform the tasks delegated. The content analysis carried out in this study shows that appreciating others, listening to them, motivating them and raising their sense of selfactualization are some of techniques that the Prophet used in delegation.
