Book Name:Waham Aur Bad Shuguni

Face like full-moon night

Once, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to the orchards of Madinah where he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم met a caravan. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked them where they came from. They replied that they came to get the dates of this place. They had a red camel. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked if they wanted to sell the camel. They replied in positive and said that they would sell it in exchange for such-and-such quantity of Saa dates. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Since I did not come here with the intention to buy the camel, I do not have its money. After reaching my city I will send the money. Having said this, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم held the bridle of the camel and started walking. The caravan continued to see him until he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was in their sight. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم disappeared from their sight, they started saying to one another: O, what have we done! By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! We have given the camel to the person who we do not know, and nor have we received its price. We were talking to one another and that person took our camel away. In the meantime, the woman, who was with them, said: By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I saw his face; his face was like the full moon. ‘اَنَا ضَامِنَۃٌ لِثَمَنِِ جَمَلِکُمْ’ I stand surety for your camel. If he does not return, you may receive its price from me.

Similarly, a woman whose name was Umm-e-Ma’bad, has excellently described the beauty of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. She said: I have seen such a person whose beauty was prominent, whose face was beautiful and creation was very nice; he is very handsome and extremely good-looking; his eyes were dark and big, eyelashes long; his voice was resonant, neck shining, and thick beard. Both eyebrows were thin and touching each other. His blessed height was also medium, neither very tall which seems bad nor so short that looks insignificant. If he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was seen from a long distance, he would look very awesome and handsome and when seen from a short distance, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would look far more handsome and good-looking.
