The Description of the Prophet

May Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace

Description of the Prophet

1 Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabi'a ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman heard Anas ibn Malik say, " The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was neither excessively tall nor excessively short. He was neither very pallid nor very dark. He did not have curly hair or straight hair. Allah commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Makka ten years and at Madina for ten years. When Allah, the Mighty, the Majestic, caused him to die, he was sixty, and there were not twenty white hairs in his hair or beard, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."

[In Bukhari 3354, and Muslim]

Description of 'Isa ibn Maryam, Peace be upon Him, and the Dajjal

2 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " I dreamt one night that I was at the Ka'ba, and I saw a dark man like the most handsome of dark men you have ever seen. He had hair which reached to between his ears and his shoulders like the most excellent of such hair that you have ever seen. He had combed his hair, and water was dripping from it. He was leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men doing tawaf around the Ka'ba. I asked, 'Who is this? ' I was told, 'The Messiah, son of Maryam.' Then we were with a man with wiry hair who was blind in his right eye, which resembled a floating grape. I asked, 'Who is this? ' I was told, 'This is the Dajjal (lit. Dajjal Messiah).' "

[Bukhari and Muslim]

49.3 Sunna of the Fitra*

3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi from his father that Abu Hurayra said, " There are five things which are part of the fitra: cutting the nails, trimming the moustache, removing the hair from the armpit, shaving the pubic region and circumcision."

* Fitra: the ancient customs (sunna) chosen by the Prophets.

[Bukhari and Muslim]

4 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said, " Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was the first to offer hospitality to the guest and the first person to be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the first person to see grey hair. He said, 'O Lord! What is this? ' Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He said, 'Lord, increase me in dignity.' "

Yahya said that he had heard Malik say, " One takes from the moustache until the edge of the lip appears - that is the rim. One does not cut it off completely so that one mutiliates oneself."

Prohibition against Eating with the Left Hand

5 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah as-Salami that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade a man to eat with his left hand or walk in one sandal or wrap a single garment around his drawn-up legs exposing his genitals.

[In Muslim]

6 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " When you eat, eat with your right hand and drink with your right. Shaytan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand."

[In Muslim]

The Very Poor

7 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " The very poor are not those people who constantly walk from person to person and are given one or two morsels and one or two dates." They asked, " Then who are the very poor, Messenger of Allah? " He said, " People who do not find enough for themselves and other people are not aware of them to give sadaqa to them, and they do not start begging from other people."

[In Bukhari 1409 and Muslim]

8 Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ibn Bujayd al-Harithi (formerly al-Ansari) from his grandmother that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " Give to the very poor, if only a roasted hoof."

[In an-Nasa'i]
