صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I concluded that his blessed face was more beautiful than even the moon. (Ash-Shumaail-ul-Muhammadiyyah, pp. 24, Hadees 9)

یہ جو مَہر و مَہ پہ ہے اِطلاق آتا نُور کا                      بھیک تیرے نام کی ہے اِستِعارہ نُور کا

نُور کی خیرات لینے دوڑتے ہیں مَہر و ماہ                   اُٹھتی ہے کس شان سے گَردِ سُواری واہ واہ

رِفعتِ مصطفٰی مرحبا مرحبا                        اِنعامِ مصطفٰی مرحبا مرحبا

i.e. the sun rose with its full brightness and lit the whole world; the moon also shone with all its lustre and made the whole world a piece of Noor, but when the blessed face of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was unveiled, then the sun and moon covered their faces and bent their heads in acceptance before the beauty of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Remember! The beauty of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم which the blessed companions compared with the moon, was not the complete beauty of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. If the complete beauty of the
