Description of Prophet (PBUH)

Describe him to me and Muslims look at the description of your Rasool and
for some this would be the first time you hear, what your prophet looked
like. I saw a man striking appearance:

Radiant face

Beautiful created

His belly was not protruding

Nor was his head disproportionate and small

Proportionate and delicate, finally made, a specimen of a creation

In his eyes there was a contrast: the dark was immensely dark, the white
was excessively white

And his eyelashes were long

And his voice was a natural echo

And his neck was elegantly long

His bread was full and thick

His eyes brows were arched but they were not joined

It was separated

When he was silent, dignity covered him.

And when he spoke, it was audible and

Fear almost commanding and overtaking


Description of Prophet (PBUH)

From a far, the most strking and

Outstanding in appearance

And when he came near, the best of them

And the handsome of them in closeness.

Such an exalted and sweet loud of logic like

When he used to speak it was so coherently logical it was smooth and


easy to understand.

He was to the point, not excessive nor to short

His logic his vatterances, his words were

Like jewels coming out of a neck lace. Calculated, polished one after the
other it would flow magically.

He was medium in height, your eyes didnt have to

Strain to look up at him he was a comfortable sight to look at he had


friends, the people that were with

Him they were working around him to try to serve and protect him.

When he used to say something they used to

Harken to what he used to say

When he commanded they used to complete

To fulfil they command this is Muhammad,

Ans bin Malik (RA) says I came out one night I came out one night it was
the full moon night and I looked at the moon is an awesome sight.

It is smooth

It is radiant

It is clear

It is gentle
Compared to the scorching sun that they are used to so the moon was the
epitome of beauty. So he says I came out to the full moon night and looked
at the moon and I saw it beautiful, handsome so I said: let me go see of
the moon is more handsome or my prophet is more handsome let me see
if that is more beautiful or the prophet is more beautiful.

So I went and I saw him standing a far (so I looked at his face and I looked
at the moon) and he says wallahi he was more handsome than the moon
in its entirety that is just the look of your Rasool

Aisha (RA) says I was sawing with the needle my needle dropped in the
darks I couldnt find it, ta rasool I cant find it. He moved his face close
and I swear bout of the radiant of his face and I found my needle and the
Prohet (PBUH) was mind bogging handsome but his handsomeness was
covered with waqqar and jalaal and

The sahabah say when we used to sit at his feet two feelings conflicting
would come on the heart. The first one, you wanted to look at him you
wanted to behold the majesty of his face and when you wanted to look up,
shyness used to overtake you so you used to look down.

Ans bin as, says I sat with him many times but if you asked me to describe
his face I cant describe it I wouldnt be able to look up to him and that is
why he didnt have the problems that yusuf (AS) had because it was
difficult to penetrate the awe and the splendour of the Rasool.
