Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. And only one view of the blessed face would give them plenty of pleasure. Describing the state of his heart at the time of seeing the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: ‘اِنِّی ْاِذَا رَأَیْتُکَ طَابَتْ نَفْسِیْ وَ قَرَّتْ عَیْنِیْ’ i.e. when I am privileged to see the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I rejoice and it gives me comfort.

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 3, pp. 151, Hadees 7938)

Similarly, a person came to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and started seeing him in a way that he did not blink his eyes. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Why are looking at me like this? He humbly replied: O my Master! May my parents be sacrificed for you! I enjoy seeing your luminous blessed face.

The beauty of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is such marvellous that the person who once saw him, used to be captivated by seeing him. Seeing the luminous face of Mustafa, blessed companions used to be engrossed so deeply in devotion to Rasool that some would compare the blessed face with the moon, for some the face was even more beautiful than the moon and some would compare the face with the sun. In short, expressing their love and devotion in their own words every companion would describe the beauty of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
