The beloved Prophet (Sm) was more beautiful than the moon. The beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sm) was the most beautiful creation on earth. Allah Almighty created him with incredible beauty. Every Muslim in the world dreams - if only he could see the Prophet Muhammad (Sm) in his lifetime, even if it meant everything!
There are many narrations from the companions about how the beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sm) was, what his body shape was like. Whenever Hazrat Ali (RA) used to describe the body shape of the Prophet Muhammad (Sm), he would say that the Prophet (Sm) was neither extremely tall nor extremely short. Rather, he was of average height among people. His hair was neither completely curly nor completely straight. Rather, it was moderately curly. He was not very fat and his face was not completely round. Rather, it was long and round.
The skin color was a mixture of red and white. The color of the eyes was black and the eyelashes were long. The joints of the bones were thick. The whole body was hairless, although a thin line of hair ran from the chest to the navel. The palms of the hands and feet were full of flesh. When he walked, he would raise his feet fully and place them on the ground, as if he were descending from a high place.
When he looked in any direction, he would turn his neck completely. Between his two shoulders was a miraculous sign of prophet hood. In fact, he was the Khatamun Nabiyyin (the final one of the prophets). He was the most generous of people, the most truthful. He was the most gentle in nature and of noble lineage. Anyone who suddenly saw him would be afraid. On the other hand, anyone who got to know him and mixed with him would love him very much. The companion who described the qualities of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was compelled to say that I have never seen anyone as beautiful as him before or after him. (Tirmidhi Sharif).
In another hadith, Hazrat Jabir (RA) said, “Whenever the Prophet (Sm) used to walk, anyone who followed that path would easily know that he had walked that path. This was because of the fragrance of his body or, as the narrator says, because of the scent of his sweat.” Darimi. Regarding the appearance of the Holy Prophet (SAW), Hazrat Jabir ibn Samurah (RA) said, “Once I saw the Prophet (SAW) on a moonlit night. Then I looked at the Messenger of Allah (Sm) once and at the moon. He was wearing a red garment. I thought he was more beautiful than the moon.” Tirmidhi and Darimi. Hazrat Ka’b ibn Malik (RA) said, “When the Messenger of Allah (Sm) was happy about something, his face would shine brightly. It seemed as if his face was a piece of the moon. In fact, we could all feel it.” Bukhari and Muslim. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) said, "The Messenger of Allah (Sm) had a gap between his two front teeth. When he spoke, it seemed as if light was radiating from between them." (Darimi)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) said, "I have never seen anyone more beautiful than the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (Sm). It seemed as if the sun was shining on his face. And I have never seen anyone faster in walking than the Prophet (Sm). When he walked, it seemed as if the ground had become narrower for him. We tried our best to keep up with him. However, he walked normally. Tirmidhi. Hazrat Jabir ibn Samurah (RA) said, "The feet of the Messenger of Allah (Sm) were light and thin. He did not laugh loudly except with a soft smile. And whenever I looked at him, I would say to myself, 'He has applied antimony to his eyes.' However, he did not use antimony at that time." Tirmidhi. In short, the beloved Prophet (Sm) was the most beautiful person on earth. He had the best character. He showed the people of the dark ages of Arabia the path of light. He illuminated them with the light of guidance. He taught humanity. He taught politeness. He freed us from the days of ignorance. May Allah Almighty grant us the good fortune to see the Prophet Muhammad (Sm) once in our lives, even in our dreams.
Amin!
