He made lengthy supplications at the first and the second place.He offered the sacrifice, the very day he returned to Mina 59 and thenwent to [Makkah, where he made the obligatory] 60 Ţawāf al-Ifāđah; he made the circumambulation seven times and then went to the well [ofZamzam] and drank from it. He then came back to Minā.He left [Minā] on the third day 61 and camped in Muĥaşşab. SayyidahĀýishah did the úmrah [starting from] Tanýīm.RasūlAllāh then ordered [the company] to prepare for departure. He did the Ţawāf al-Wadāá 62 and set out to Madīnah.RasūlAllāh did úmrah four times [other than that during ĥajj] and allwere performed in Dhu’l Qaádah.59On the 10 th Dhu’l Ĥijjah, after the stoning.60The circuit of the Kábah after returning from Árafah on the 10 th is an obligatory ritual in theĥajj. This is known as Ţawāf al-Ziyārah or Ţawāf al-Ifāđah.61This is the completion of the Ĥajj.62The farewell ţawāf.13
HIS PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTESRasūlAllāh was of medium height and had broad shoulders.His complexion was white – white with a pinkish hue. His hair wouldreach his earlobes. There were no more than twenty grey hairs in both his[blessed] head and beard. His face was radiant and shining like the fullmoon. He was the most beautiful to behold.He was the epitome of dignity, when he kept silent; and when he spoke, there was an effusion of splendour and awe.From afar, he appeared the most handsome of all; graceful and elegant.And so too from near; he was the most beautiful, comely and pleasant.His speech was sweet and his forehead ample. 63 His eyebrows [thin and]long, and they were not joined; 64 his nose was aquiline – thin and straight,and soft cheeks, a full mouth, white and sparkling teeth; and a small andnarrow chink 65 between the two front teeth. The Seal of Prophethood wasbetween his shoulders [on his back] and the person who described his beauty said: “I had not seen anyone more handsome than him before,and I never saw anyone like him after.”63Apart from the physical attractiveness of an ample forehead, there are also otherconnotations. In Arabic, the same description is used to signify an amiable person and onewith pleasant nature; and negates frowning and scowling. Thus was RasūlAllāh , alwayssmiling and a gracious countenance to behold.64Though they appeared to be joined when observed from a very close range, they were apartwhen viewed from a sitting distance. Regardless, this is to negate synophyrs or a unibrow.Allāh táālā knows best.65This was a very narrow separation that enhanced the natural beauty of his blessed teeth;or that the teeth were slightly curved in the lower portion of the front teeth such that a smallopening is formed when the upper teeth sit on the lower ones, which is a mark of attractiveteeth. It may not necessarily be diastema, but regardless, it was beautiful as RasūlAllāh wasthe most perfect human being and the most beautiful in the creation.14
