the prophet muhammad (saas) - Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for All

eautiful…If the rays of the sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold… The place
between his shoulders was wide."67
Anas bin Malik (ra) says:
"The Messenger of Allah, was not excessively tall or short. He was not very pallid nor dark. He did not
have curly hair or lank hair. Allah commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Mecca ten years and
at Medina for ten years and Allah the Mighty, the Majestic made him die when he was sixty. There were not
twenty white hairs in his hair or beard, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."68
"Rasulullah (saas) was so clean, clear, beautiful and handsome."69
Anas bin Malik (ra) says:
"The Prophet (saas) was neither tall nor short. He was handsome. His hair was neither delicate nor
curly. He was neither very white, nor very brown."70
Baraa bin Aazib (ra) relates:
"I never saw someone more handsome than Rasullullah. His hair reached his shoulders. The portion
between his two shoulders was wide. He was neither very tall nor very short."71
Ibrahim b. Muhammed (ra), one of the grandsons of Ali (ra), informs us:
"When Ali (ra) described the Prophet (saas) he said:
'He was neither very tall nor excessively short, but was a man of medium size. He had neither very
curly nor flowing hair but a mixture of both... He was reddish-white, he had wide black eyes and long
eyelashes. He had protruding joints and shoulder-blades… Between his shoulders was the seal of prophecy...
He had a finer chest than anyone else, was truer in utterance than anyone else, had the gentlest nature and
the noblest lineage. Those who saw him stood suddenly in awe of him and those who shared his
acquaintance loved him. Those who described him said they had never seen anyone like him before or
since'."72
Hassan (ra) says:
"He had great qualities and attributes, others also held him in high esteem. His blessed face shone
like the full moon. He was slightly taller than a man of middle height, but shorter than a tall person...His
blessed hair was slightly twisted. If his hair became parted naturally in the middle he left it so, otherwise
he did not habitually make an effort to part his hair in the middle…Rasulullah (saas) had a very luminous
complexion (color), and a wide forehead. His eye brows were of dense and fine hair …
... His neck was beautiful and thin, like the neck of a statue shaved clean, the color of which was
clear, shining and beautiful like silver. All the parts of his body were of moderate size. His body was
proportionately jointed…"73
