Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the sacred month of Ramadan is going on. Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen [leader of the believers] Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada    کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم was also martyred in this sacred month. With reference to it, today we are going to have the privilege to listen to some Madani pearls about a very beautiful attribute of him ‘Devotion to Rasool’. Let’s, first of all, listen to a parable:

Neither has anyone’s beauty been seen nor heard like yours

It has been narrated that once some non-Muslims came to leader of the believers, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and said: Tell us the attributes of your Beloved Prophet (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said:        O people listen! I had been with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Saur Cave as these two fingers of mine, whereas when I climbed on Hira Mountain with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I was very close to him. Despite being so close it is very difficult for me to talk about the sacred appearance from head to foot of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. However, go to ‘Ali Bin Abi Taalib رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, he will tell you.

Those people went to leader of the believers, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada      کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم and humbly said to him: O Abul Hasan! Tell us about the attributes of your cousin (i.e. the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! So he   رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: Neither was the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم very tall nor very short, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was a little taller than the medium height. His blessed colour was white with the mixing of redness. His blessed hair was not very curly, but a little curved coming down to the blessed ears. His blessed forehead was wide, eyes filled with kohl, teeth gleaming, beautifully raised nose, neck as clear as a long-necked flask of silver. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم walked, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would set his step so firmly as if he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was coming down from a height. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم paid attention to someone, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would pay full attention. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would stand, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would look taller than people and when he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would sit, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would look prominent.
