The Shama’il of the Prophet ﷺ • Book 1

None More Beautiful

The Shama’il of the Prophet ﷺ (Chapters 1–7 of at-Tirmidhi): His Appearance, the Seal of Prophethood, His Hair, Grey Hairs, Dye and Kohl

The Companions were not painters, but they were very precise with words. They likened the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the moon, his skin to something fashioned from silver, and al-Bara’ said: “I never saw anything more beautiful than him.” The first book of The Shama’il of the Prophet ﷺ follows the order of Imam at-Tirmidhi’s ash-Shama’il al-Muhammadiyyah — chapters 1 to 7, 53 narrations, with the grade of each.

What You Will Learn

Getting to know ash-Shama’il — Imam at-Tirmidhi, the 56 chapters of his book, and the method of this series: sahih and hasan in Hadith boxes, weak reports in Note boxes.
His appearance — “neither very tall nor short” (ash-Shama’il 1), a face “like the moon” (ash-Shama’il 11; Sahih al-Bukhari 3552) and the prophets shown to him (Sahih Muslim 167).
The seal of prophethood — “like the button of a canopy” (ash-Shama’il 16), “a cluster of hairs” (ash-Shama’il 20) and Salman al-Farisi testing the three signs (ash-Shama’il 21).
His hair and combing — the length of his hair, letting it fall then parting it (ash-Shama’il 30), and the Sunnah of beginning with the right (ash-Shama’il 34).
His grey hairs — no more than fourteen (ash-Shama’il 38) and “Hud and its sisters have made me grey” (ash-Shama’il 42).
Dye and kohl — “he will not bear your sin” (ash-Shama’il 45), avoiding black, and ithmid kohl (ash-Shama’il 53); plus a glossary of key terms.

لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولࣰا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينٍ

“Certainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error.”

Surah Ali ‘Imran (3): 164 — Sahih International
