Bi Ismihi Ta'ala
Rasulullah
(Sallaahu
alayhi wasallam)’s description,
condensed
from the Ahaadeeth of Shamaa`il Tirmizi
Part
3
The Seal of
Prophethood was situated between his shoulders. It was a miracle and a sign of
Prophet-hood. He is the last of all prophets.
[From different
narrations, the Seal of Prophet-hood has been described as something like a knot
on a mosquito net or bedstead, and like a red tumour (raised or protruding
flesh) on the back of Nabi (Sallaahu alayhi
wasallam), the size of which was like that of a pigeon’s egg (in roundness), and
which also had a few hairs around it. ]
He was the most
generous and most truthful. He was the most kind-hearted and came from the noblest
family.
[This means that
his character, family background and everything else was of the best.]
Any person who
saw him suddenly would become awe-inspired.
[Rasulullah (Sallaahu alayhi wasallam) had such a great personality and
dignity, that the person who saw him for the first time, because of his
awe-inspiring personality, would be overcome with a feeling of profound
respect. Firstly there is awe for the physical body; with this, when other
kamaalaat are added, what more could then be said of the awe? Awe was amongst
the special qualities granted to him.]
Anyone who came
in close contact with him, and knew his excellent character was smitten with
the love of his excellent attributes.
Anyone who
described his noble features can only say: ‘I
have not seen anyone like Rasulullah (Sallaahu alayhi wasallam), neither before nor after him.’
