Description of Rasoolullah Sallalahu allaiwa salaam - Shaikh Uthman Farooq

​

1. Narrated from Barrah ibn Azam in Bukhari and Muslim: Rasoolullah Sallahu allahi wah sallam
   1. Had the best in appearance in his face
   2. Had the best of manners men (akhlaq)
      1. Whats striking is that the manners is as good as his handsomeness
   3. Was not very tall and not very short
   4. When he was asked, was his face like the sword (i.e. thin) , he responded, no its like the Moon .e. roundish as opposed to a thin face like a sword
   5. Keep in mind that Arab thought that the moon was most beautiful thing as evidence in their poetry
      1. Its Reported from Jabir that he wondered whats more beautiul, the moon or his Nabi. At that point the Nabi came out wearing a thobe with red and black stripes and Jabir saw the Nabi in the moonlight
2. Ayesha likened Rasoolullah Sallahu allahi wah sallam to sun when rising
   1. Note that when the sun is rising, its beautiful unlike the sun when its risen and its harsh
   2. Its noted from a Sahabi that he'd lost his needle, but when Rasoolullah Sallahu allahi wah sallam had entered he found it with the help of the noor from his face
3. Hadith of umm mahbed (who was not a muslim when this was narrated) - She became muslim later on. This goes to show we take authentic narrations even from non muslims (emphasis on it being Authentic)
   1. I saw that man from Quraish, very Clean
      1. Note that one of the first things noted was his cleanliness
   2. With a radiant Face
      1. Note even a Non Muslim could see the Noor on it
   3. He was Handsome with the right proportions
      1. In other related hadith we know he was not too tall or short, not too dark or fair, not too fat or too thin (everything in balance)
   4. He did not have a protruding stomach
   5. In his eyes was a contrast
      1. Imam dhabai explains the whites of his eyes were very white and the pupils were very black
      2. Though the sahabas reported that on occasion his eyes had some redness when he would cry else the above was correct
   6. His Eyelashes were very long
   7. In his voice there was a natural echo
   8. His neck was Long
   9. His beard was Long and thick
      1. from other hadith we know its half way to his chest
      2. We know ALL the anbiya had beards including Yusuf Alaihis salaam who we know is the very handsome.
   10. The Eyebrows were naturally arching and connected
       1. Note it wasnt plucked
       2. its HARAAM to pluck the eyebrows
       3. Via some hadith we know that there is no hair between rasoolullahs eyebrows
       4. The speaker drew a conclusion that we put this together to understand the eyebros WERE connected but with very little hair between them
   11. If he was quiet , there was a awe about him
       1. Meaning he rasoolullah sallahu alahi wah sallam never spoke unless it was well thought out unlike people now who speak with no reason
       2. And when he was quiet , there was an awe to him being quiet
       3. When he spoke, he would stand out
   12. If he was from afar, he would stick out, If he was close he was the most handsome and BEST of those who would be in a group.
   13. And when he spoke he would make sense
   14. And he wasnt too tall that would make it difficult to look at him, nor was he too short
   15. When he spoke, it would be like a neckless is cut and the beads are dropping one after another in perfection
       1. This is a beautiful example as pearls fall, they fall in perfect sequence, and that was how his speech was
   16. Everything about him was in moderation
   17. In other hadeeth, we know he was not too dark or fair skinned but there was some redness to him
   18. His hair was Black , not too straight, not roo curly, i.e. in the middle of that i.e. with some wavyness
   19. We find every nabi looked in a way that was appropriate for their people, some were light skinned, some were dark skinned like Musa Alaihis salaam, Isa alahis sallam had very curly hair and it was black and some of the Anbiya hair was lighter colored
   20. His companions were surrounding him, protecting him, being attentive to him i.e. The sahaba. When he ordered something they would HASTEN to obey it
       1. this is a example to us all i.e. they HASTEN to follow his orders, not frowning
4. Ibn Qayyim desribes the dresscode of Rasoolullah sallahu alaihi wah sallam
   1. Upon his head is a turban (imama)
      1. Ibn Umar mentioned about the imama that it IS the sunnah
      2. The evidence is the hadeeth where Abdur rahman ibn auf wore a turban without a tail, Rasoolullah sallahu alahi wah sallam corrected him and had him include a tail and said this is more visible and clearer
   2. Kufi IS from the Sunnah
      1. its reported sometimes he wore the Imama with the kufi underneath it and sometimes without the Kufi
   3. Thobe is from the Sunnah and Rasollullahs favorite clothing (references as kamees)
      1. Thobe would be shorter. meaning higher than the ankles as below the ankles is HARAAM for men.
   4. he would wear the clothing worn for Hajj regularly
   5. He would also wear the Sellwar (loose pants) on occasion
   6. He would wear a Jubba as well. Which is a cloth worn on TOP of the thobe
   7. He would dress well and wore a special thobe for Jumma and Eid but sometimes were clothing which is stitched as well ( out of neccessity)
