Post a short description of the Prophet (s.a.w)

Only one paragraph!


"I did not see anyone more handsome than Rasulullah (saas). It was as if the brightness of the sun had shone from his blessed face. I did not see anyone walk faster than him, as if the earth folded for him. A few moments ago he would be here, and then there. We found it difficult to keep pace when we walked with him and he walked at his normal pace." [Tirmidhi]

Appearance

Muhammad :saw: was of a height a little above the average. He was of sturdy build with long muscular limbs and tapering fingers. The hair of his head was long and thick with some waves in them. His forehead was large and prominent, his eyelashes were long and thick, his nose was sloping, his mouth was somewhat large and his teeth were well set. His cheeks were spare and he had a pleasant smile. His eyes were large and black with a touch of brown. His beard was thick and at the time of his death, he had seventeen gray hairs in it. He had a thin line of fine hair over his neck and chest. He was fair of complexion and altogether was so handsome that Abu Bakr composed this couplet on him:

"as there is no darkness in the moonlit night so is Mustafa, the well-wisher, bright." (Shamail Tirmizi).

Dress

His :saw: dress generally consisted of a shirt, tamad (trousers), a sheet thrown round the sholders and a turban. On rare occasions, he :saw: would put on costly robes presented to him by foreign emissaries in the later part of his life (Ahmed, Musnad, Hafiz Bin Qaiyyam).

His :saw: blanket had several patches (Tirmizi). He :saw: had very few spare clothes, but he kept them spotlessy clean (Bukhari). He :saw: wanted others also to put on simple but clean clothes. Once he :saw: saw a person putting on dirty clothes and remarked,

"Why can't this man wash them." (Abu Dawud, Chapter "Dress").

On another occasion he :saw: enquired of a person in dirty clothes whether he :saw: had any income. Upon getting a reply in the affirmative, he :saw: observed, "When Allah has blessed you with His bounty, your appearence should reflect it." (Abu Dawud)

He :saw: used to observe:

"Cleanliness is piety".

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: "...Allah's Apostle slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit after it and then woke up, rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands. He then, recited the last ten verses of Sura Al-Imran, got up and went to a hanging water-skin. He then Performed the ablution from it and it was a perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer..." (Bukhari, Book 4, #183)

[Al Qadr]

Aishah, his wife, described how humble he ( :saw: ) was:

"He used to remain busy serving and helping his household, and when the time for prayer came he would perform ablution and go for prayer. He would patch his own sandals and sew his own garments. He was an ordinary human being, searching his clothes for lice, milking his sheep, and doing his own chores." ( Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
