Blessed hands

The blessed arms and palms of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم were fleshy. His blessed wrists and fingers were long and the backs of the blessed palms were wide. The blessed fingers of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم seemed to be the branches of silver. His blessed palms were softer than silk and would remain fragrant like the palms of fragrance sellers whether he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم touched the fragrance or not. The person who shook hands with the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would have fragrance in his hands throughout the day and the child upon whose head the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم moved his blessed hand would be recognized amongst other children due to the fragrance emanating from his head. (Seerat-e-Rasool-e-‘Arabi, pp. 263)

Things getting the blessed touch of the blessed hands of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would suffice many Companions. Sayyiduna Jabir رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: On the day of Hudaybiyah, we felt thirsty because our water had run out. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked: What happened? The people humbly replied that they had no water for drinking and performing Wudu. At that time, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had as much water in a pot as can be stored in a lota (ewer). The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم placed his blessed hand in the pot, so the springs of water emerged from the blessed fingers of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. We all drank water from it and also performed Wudu. Sayyiduna Jabir رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was asked: How many people were there at that time? He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ replied: 1500 people were there. He further said: If we had been 100,000 people, even then that water would have sufficed us. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 493, Hadees 3576)
