(a thread y'all need to read)

Jabeer ibn Samura RA said,

“I saw the Prophet (PBUH) one moonlit night," (a night when moon was bright)
"so I looked at the moon and looked at the Prophet (PBUH).
And, by Allah, I thought the Prophet (PBUH) looked more handsome than the moon”

-Ad-Darami and Al-Bayhaqi.

Jabir ibn Samra RA said,

“The face of the Prophet (PBUH) was round like the sun and moon”

In fact, it was not totally circular but slightly oval.

“broad temples”

“The Prophet (PBUH) had long eyebrows which were thick but did not meet in the middle of the forehead. Between the eyebrows was a vein that became clear when he was angry”

-At-Tabarani and At-Tirmidhi in Ash-Shama’il.

The Prophet (PBUH) had

“big eyes”,
(wide eyes, which are a sign of beauty)

“with long outlines”

-Ibn ‘Asakir

it was long and slightly raised in the middle and the tip of it was slender

The Prophet (PBUH) had a

“…broad mouth”

i.e. not a very small mouth, with white, glittering teeth that had gaps between them,
which the Arabs think is a praiseworthy feature in men

Anas ibn Malik RA described the Prophet’s complexion, saying,

“The colour of his complexion was shining, not pallid nor dark”

-Al-Bukhari

K’ab ibn Malik RA stated,

“When the Prophet (PBUH) was pleased, his face used to shine with so much light that [one would think] it was part of the moon. And he used to be known for this (his radiant smile)”

-Al-Bukhari

His hair was wavy,

“he did not have tight curls,
or straight hair"

-Al-Bukhari.

The Prophet’s beard was black and thick, as

“his beard had a lot of hair”

-Muslim.

Anas ibn Malik RA said about the Prophet’s beard,

“…[it was] well arranged (not spreading here and there). And he did not have even twenty white hairs on his head or in his beard”

-Al-Bukhari

Al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib RA said,

“The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was medium in height”

(not too tall and not too short, but medium in height)

Anas RA said,

“The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had fleshy hands;
and I have never seen anything like them since”

-Al-Bukhari

(his hands were soft and short, this means he had a firm grasp)

And they (his feet) had

“thin heels”

(his feet didn't have much flesh on them)

-Ahmed

no one had such a nice smelling scent as the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had.
If a person walked along a path the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had recently walked, the person would know that the Messenger of Allah had passed there because of the sweet scent.

Anas ibn Malik RA said,

“No fly touched the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and silk is not softer than his palms.
Furthermore, I have never smelt a nicer scent than the scent of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)”

-Al-Bukhari and Muslim

Anas ibn Malik RA states,

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) entered upon us on a very hot day, and took a nap, during which he perspired much. So Um Sulaym started to catch (gather) the perspiration of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in a bottle.

The Messenger woke-up and said to her, ‘What are you doing, Um Sulaym?!’
She replied, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I am gathering your perspiration, as it smells sweeter than musk

-Muslim
