And the Banner of Praise will be in my hand that day, and I am the most noble of the children of Adam in the sight of my Lord, and there is no boast (about it)."

Narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "I am the first for whom the earth will be split, and then I will be made to wear garments from the garments of Paradise.

حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَهُوَ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: سَلُوا اللَّهَ لِيَ الوَسِيلَةَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الوَسِيلَةُ؟ قَالَ: أَعْلَى دَرَجَةٍ فِي الجَنَّةِ لاَ يَنَالُهَا إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ أَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ.

Narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "Ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah." They asked: "O Apostle of Allah ﷺ! And what is Al-Wasilah?" He said: "The highest rank in Paradise. No one will attain it except for one man, and I hope that I will be the one."

At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated from his father that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "The parable of me and the Prophets is that of a man who built a house, and he built it well, completed it, and adorned it, but he left a space for one brick. So, the people began going around the house amazed at it, saying " Would that this space of brick was filled up!' And I am, with regards to the Prophets, in the position of that brick." And with this chain, from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Upon the Day of Judgement I will be the leader of the Prophets and their spokesman, and the bearer of their intercession, without boasting."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ فَقُولُوا مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ، ثُمَّ صَلُّوا عَلَيَّ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلاَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا، ثُمَّ سَلُوا لِيَ الوَسِيلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا مَنْزِلَةٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ لاَ تَنْبَغِي إِلاَّ لِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَ لِيَ الوَسِيلَةَ حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ.

Narrated from Abdullah bin Amr (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "If you hear the Muadh-dhin then respond as he says. Then invoke blessings (send Salah) upon me, because whoever sends Salah upon me, Allah will send Salah upon him ten times due to it. Then ask Allah that He gives me Al-Wasilah, because it is a place in Paradise which is not for anyone except for a slave from the slaves of Allah, and I hope that I am the one. And whoever asks that I have Al-Wasilah, then (my) intercession will become lawful for him."

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَبِيَدِي لِوَاءُ الحَمْدِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَمَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ يَوْمَئِذٍ آدَمُ فَمَنْ سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ تَحْتَ لِوَائِي، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الأَرْضُ وَلاَ فَخْرَ.

Narrated from Abu Saeed (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "I will be the master of the children of Adam on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. The Banner of Praise will be in my hand, and I am not boasting. There will not be a Prophet on that day, not Adam nor anyone other than him, except that he will be under my banner. And I am the first one for whom the earth will be split for, and I am not boasting."

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَمْعَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَهْرَامَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَلَسَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا مِنْهُمْ سَمِعَهُمْ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ فَسَمِعَ حَدِيثَهُمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: عَجَبًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ اتَّخَذَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَلِيلاً، اتَّخَذَ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: مَاذَا بِأَعْجَبَ مِنْ كَلاَمِ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ تَكْلِيمًا، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: فَعِيسَى كَلِمَةُ اللهِ وَرُوحُهُ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: آدَمُ اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ. فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَلاَمَكُمْ وَعَجَبَكُمْ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلُ اللهِ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَمُوسَى نَجِيُّ اللهِ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ، وَعِيسَى رُوحُهُ وَكَلِمَتُهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَآدَمُ اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ، أَلاَ وَأَنَا حَبِيبُ اللهِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَأَنَا حَامِلُ لِوَاءِ الحَمْدِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُحَرِّكُ حِلَقَ الجَنَّةِ فَيَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ لِي فَيُدْخِلُنِيهَا وَمَعِي فُقَرَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ فَخْرَ، وَأَنَا أَكْرَمُ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ وَلاَ فَخْرَ.

Narrated from Ibn Abbas (RA) that a group of people among the Companions of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ sat waiting for him. He said: "Then he came out, such that when he came close to them, he heard them talking, and he heard what they were saying. So, some of them said: 'It's amazing that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has taken a Khalil (close friend) from His creation. He took Ibrahim (AS) as a Khalil.' And some of them said: 'That is not more amazing than speaking to Musa (AS), He spoke to him with real speech.' And some said: 'And Eisa (AS) is the word of Allah and His Spirit.' And some said: 'Adam was chosen by Allah.' So, he ﷺ came out upon them and offered his Salam, and said: 'I have heard your words, and your amazement that Ibrahim (AS) is the Khalil of Allah, and he is such, and that Musa (AS) is the one spoken to by Allah, and he is such, and that Eisa (AS) is the spirit of Allah and His Word, and he is such, and that Adam was chosen by Allah, and he is such. Indeed, I am the beloved of Allah, and I am not boasting, and I am the carrier of the Banner of Praise on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first intercessor, and the first to have intercession accepted from him on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first to knock the rings of Paradise (meaning on the gates of Paradise) and so Allah will open it for me and enter me into it. And with me will be the poor people from the believers, and I am not boasting. And I am the most noble among the first ones and the last ones, and I am not boasting."

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ الطَّائِيُّ البَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَوْدُودٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: مَكْتُوبٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ صِفَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ يُدْفَنُ مَعَهُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو مَوْدُودٍ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ فِي البَيْتِ مَوْضِعُ قَبْرٍ.

Abdullah bin Salam (RA) said: "The description of Muhammad ﷺ is described in the Tawrah, [and the description that] Eisa (AS) will be buried next to him." (One of the narrators) Abu Mawdud said: "[And] there is a place for a grave left in the house."

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ البَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ اليَوْمُ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَضَاءَ مِنْهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ اليَوْمُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَظْلَمَ مِنْهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَمَا نَفَضْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الأَيْدِي وَإِنَّا لَفِي دَفْنِهِ حَتَّى أَنْكَرْنَا قُلُوبَنَا.

Anas bin Malik (RA) said: "On the day in which Allah’s Apostle ﷺ arrived in Al-Madinah, everything in it was illuminated. Then, on the day in which he died, everything in it was dark. And we had barely dusted off our hands after burying Allah’s Apostle ﷺ when our hearts changed."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ العَبْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: وُلِدْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الفِيلِ، قَالَ: وَسَأَلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ قُبَاثَ بْنَ أَشْيَمَ أَخَا بَنِي يَعْمَُرَبْنِ لَيْثٍ: أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ أَمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَقْدَمُ مِنْهُ فِي الْمِيلاَدِ، قَالَ: وَرَأَيْتُ خَذْقَ الْفِيلِ أَخْضَرَ مُحِيلاً.

Al-Muttalib bin Abdullah bin Qais bin Makhramah narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that he said: "I and Allah’s Apostle ﷺ were born in the Year of the Elephant" - he said: "And Uthman bin Affan (RA) asked Qubath bin Ashyam, the brother of Banu Ya'mar bin Laith - 'Are you greater (in age) or the Apostle of Allah ﷺ?'" He said: " Allah’s Apostle ﷺ is greater than me, but I have an earlier birthday. Allah’s Apostle ﷺ was born in the Year of the Elephant and my mother took me to that place" He said: "And I saw the defecation of the elephants had changed turning green."

حَدَّثَنَا الفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ أَبُو العَبَّاسِ الأَعْرَجُ البَغْدَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَشْيَاخٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ هَبَطُوا فَحَلُّوا رِحَالَهُمْ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ الرَّاهِبُ وَكَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يَمُرُّونَ بِهِ فَلاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتُ. قَالَ: فَهُمْ يَحُلُّونَ رِحَالَهُمْ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَخَلَّلُهُمُ الرَّاهِبُ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا سَيِّدُ العَالَمِينَ، هَذَا رَسُولُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَشْيَاخٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ: مَا عِلْمُكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ حِينَ أَشْرَفْتُمْ مِنَ العَقَبَةِ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَجَرٌ وَلاَ حَجَرٌ إِلاَّ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا وَلاَ يَسْجُدَانِ إِلاَّ لِنَبِيٍّ، وَإِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ بِخَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ غُضْرُوفِ كَتِفِهِ مِثْلَ التُّفَّاحَةِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَصَنَعَ لَهُمْ طَعَامًا، فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ وَكَانَ هُوَ فِي رِعْيَةِ الإِبِلِ،قَالَ: أَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَأَقْبَلَ وَعَلَيْهِ غَمَامَةٌ تُظِلُّهُ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ القَوْمِ وَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ سَبَقُوهُ إِلَى فَيْءِ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ مَالَ فَيْءُ الشَّجَرَةِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى فَيْءِ الشَّجَرَةِ مَالَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُوَ يُنَاشِدُهُمْ أَنْ لاَ يَذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى الرُّومِ، فَإِنَّ الرُّومَ إِنْ رَأَوْهُ عَرَفُوهُ بِالصِّفَةِ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ، فَالتَفَتَ فَإِذَا بِسَبْعَةٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا مِنَ الرُّومِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: جِئْنَا، إِنَّ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ خَارِجٌ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ طَرِيقٌ إِلاَّ بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأُنَاسٍ وَإِنَّا قَدْ أُخْبِرْنَا خَبَرَهُ فَبُعِثْنَا إِلَى طَرِيقِكَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: هَلْ خَلْفَكُمْ أَحَدٌ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: إِنَّمَا أُخْبِرْنَا خَبَرَهُ بِطَرِيقِكَ هَذَا. قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ أَمْرًا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ رَدَّهُ؟ قَالُوا: لاَ، قَالَ: فَبَايَعُوهُ وَأَقَامُوا مَعَهُ قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ أَيُّكُمْ وَلِيُّهُ؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو طَالِبٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُنَاشِدُهُ حَتَّى رَدَّهُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِلاَلاً وَزَوَّدَهُ الرَّاهِبُ مِنَ الكَعْكِ وَالزَّيْتِ.

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (RA) said: "Abu Talib set forth for Ash-Sham, and the Prophet ﷺ left with him, along with some older men from the Quraish. When they came across the monk they stopped there and began setting up their camp, and the monk came out to them. Before that they used to pass by him, and he wouldn't come out nor pay attention to them." He said: "They were setting up their camp when the monk was walking amidst them, until he came and took the hand of the Apostle of Allah ﷺ. Then he said: He is the chief of the universe. He is the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds. Allah has sent him as mercy to the worlds.' So, some of the older people from the Quraish asked: 'What do you know?' He said: While you were coming down the hillock, none of the stones and trees missed prostrating before him, and these two (objects) do not prostrate but to a Prophet. And I recognise him by the seal of prophethood on the upper bone on his shoulder, firm like an apple.' Then he went back, and prepared a meal for them, and when he brought it to them, he [the Prophet (ﷺ)] was tending to the camels. So, he said: 'Send for him.' So, he came, and there was a cloud over him that was shading him. When he came close to the people, he found that they had beaten him to the tree's shade. So, when he sat down, the shade of the tree leaned towards him. He (the monk) said: 'Look at the shade of the tree leaning towards him.'" He said: "So while he was standing over them, telling them not to take him to Rome with him - because if the Romans were to see him, they would recognize him by his description, and they would kill him - he turned, and there were seven people who had come from Rome. So, he faced them and said: 'Why have you come?' They said: 'We came because this Prophet is going to appear during this month, and there isn't a road left except that people have been sent to it, and we have been informed of him, and we have been sent to this road of yours.' So, he said: 'Is there anyone better than you, behind you?' They said: 'We only have news of him from this road of yours.' He said: 'Do you think that if there is a matter which Allah wishes to bring about, there is anyone among the people who can turn it away?' They said: 'No.'" He said: "So they gave him their pledge, and they stayed with him. And he said: 'I ask you by Allah, which of you is his guardian?' They said: 'Abu Talib.' So, he kept adjuring him until Abu Talib returned him (back to Makkah) and he sent Abu Bakr and Bilal with him. And the monk gave him provisions of Ka'k (a type of bread) and olive oil."

Anas bin Malik (RA) said: " Allah’s Apostle ﷺ was not very tall nor was he [very] short, nor was he pale white, nor was he brown, nor was the wave of his hair completely curly nor straight.

And Allah took him at the beginning of his sixties, and there were not more than twenty white hairs on his head or in his beard."

Narrated from Abu Ala that Samurah bin Jundab (RA) said: "We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ and we ate from a bowl from morning to night, ten would get up and ten would take the seat." We (narrator)said: "So what was refilling it?' He said: "What are you amazed at? It wasn't filled up from anywhere but here, and he gestured with his hand towards the sky."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ فَخَرَجْنَا فِي بَعْضِ نَوَاحِيهَا فَمَا اسْتَقْبَلَهُ جَبَلٌ وَلاَ شَجَرٌ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.

Narrated from Anas bin Malik (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ used to give sermon reclining on the trunk of a palm tree, and then they made a Pulpit for him, so he started giving sermons on it, so the trunk wept like the weeping of a she-camel. So, the Prophet ﷺ rubbed it, and it ceased to weep."

Ibn Abbas (RA) said: "A Bedouin came to the Apostle of Allah ﷺ and asked: 'How shall I recognize that you are a Prophet?' He said: 'If I were to summon this date cluster from this palm tree, would you bear witness that I am the Apostle of Allah?' So Allah’s Apostle ﷺ summoned it and they started to fall from the tree, until they fell towards the Prophet ﷺ, then he said: 'Go back,' and it went back. So, the Bedouin accepted Islam."

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA) that Abu Talha (RA) said to Umm Sulaim: “I heard the voice of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ and it was weak. I know that it is from hunger. Do you have anything? She said: 'Yes.' So, she brought some loaves of barley bread. Then she took out her scarf and wrapped the bread in some of it and put it in my hand and covered my head with the rest of it (the scarf). She sent me to Allah’s Apostle ﷺ. He said: So, I went to him with it and found him sitting in the mosque with some men. So, I stood among them, and Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: 'Has Abu Talha sent you?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'With food?' I said: 'Yes.' So, Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said to those around him: 'Stand up.'" So, they left, and I left in front of them, until I came to Abu Talha, and I told him (that they were coming). Abu Talha said: 'O Umm Sulaim! Allah’s Apostle ﷺ is coming with people, and we don't have anything to feed them.' Umm Sulaim said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.'" He said: "So Abu Talha departed until he met up with the Apostle of Allah ﷺ. Allah’s Apostle ﷺ came, while Abu Talha was with him, until they entered, when Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: 'O Umm Sulaim! Bring here whatever you have?' So, she brought him that bread, and he ﷺ commanded her that the bread should be crushed and poured some butter from an oil-skin upon them, then Allah’s Apostle ﷺ recited whatever Allah willed for him to recite over it. Then he said: 'Let ten come.' So, ten were admitted, and they ate until they were full, and then they left. Then he said: 'Let ten come.' So, ten were admitted, and they ate until they were full, and they left. Then he said: 'Let ten come.' So, ten were admitted, and they ate until they were full, and there were seventy or eighty men."

Anas bin Malik (RA) said: "I saw Allah’s Apostle ﷺ at the time when the Asr prayer approached near, and the people were searching water for Wudu, but they did not find any. So, Allah’s Apostle ﷺ was brought some water for Wudu, and Allah’s Apostle ﷺ placed his hand in the vessel and commanded the people to make Wudu from it." He said: "So I saw water springing out from under his fingers. The people made Wudu until the last of them made Wudu."

حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: أَوَّلُ مَا ابْتُدِئَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ حِينَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ كَرَامَتَهُ وَرَحْمَةَ العِبَادِ بِهِ أَنْ لاَ يَرَى شَيْئًا إِلاَّ جَاءَتْ كَ فَلَقِ الصُّبْحِ، فَمَكَثَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ، وَحُبِّبَ إِلَيْهِ الخَلْوَةُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَخْلُوَ.

Aishah (RA) said: " In the beginning of prophethood when Allah intended to make clear to the people His wonders and mercies, he ﷺ saw dreams that came true like the bright gleam of dawn. This continued as long as Allah willed. Solitude was dear to him, and nothing was dearer to him than being alone."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَعُدُّونَ الآيَاتِ عَذَابًا وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَرَكَةً، لَقَدْ كُنَّا نَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ تَسْبِيحَ الطَّعَامِ. قَالَ: وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِإِنَاءٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: حَيَّ عَلَى الوَضُوءِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالبَرَكَةُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّأْنَا كُلُّنَا.

Abdullah (RA) said: "You consider the signs (of nature) to be punishment, whereas we used to think of them as a blessing during the time of t Allah’s Apostle ﷺ. We used to eat food with the Prophet ﷺ, and we would hear the tasbih of the food." He said: "And the Prophet ﷺ was brought a vessel, so he put his hand it in, and the water began to spring from between his fingers. So, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Hasten to the blessed Wudu and the blessing from the heavens' until all of had performed Wudu."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ الحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الوَحْيُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي مِثْلُ صَلْصَلَةِ الجَرَسِ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ، وَأَحْيَانًا يَتَمَثَّلُ لِيَ الْمَلَكُ رَجُلاً فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فِي اليَوْمِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ فَيَفْصِمُ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ جَبِينَهُ لَيَتَفَصَّدُ عَرَقًا.

Narrated from Aishah (RA) that Al-Harith bin Hisham (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ: 'How does the Revelation come to you?' Allah’s Apostle ﷺ replied: 'Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell and that is the hardest upon me, and sometimes the angel will appear to me like a man, and he will speak to me such that I understand what he says.'" 'Aishah (RA) said: "I saw the Apostle of Allah ﷺ while the Revelation was descending upon him on an extremely cold day. Then it ceased and his forehead was flooded with sweat."

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ، قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ ذِي لِمَّةٍ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَهُ شَعْرٌ يَضْرِبُ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، بَعِيدُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالقَصِيرِ وَلاَ بِالطَّوِيلِ.

Al-Bara (RA) said: "I have never seen anyone with long hair wearing a red robe looking more beautiful than Allah’s Apostle ﷺ. He had hair that would flow on his shoulders, having broad shoulders, not too short and not too tall."

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ البَرَاءَ: أَكَانَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ السَّيْفِ؟ قَالَ: لاَ مِثْلَ القَمَرِ.

Abu Ishaq said: "A man asked Al-Bara (RA): 'Was the face of the Apostle of Allah ﷺ like a sword?' He said: 'No, like the moon.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلاَ بِالقَصِيرِ شَثْنَ الكَفَّيْنِ وَالقَدَمَيْنِ، ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ، ضَخْمَ الكَرَادِيسِ طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ تَكَفُّؤًا كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Ali (RA) said: "The Prophet ﷺ was not tall nor was he short, his hands and feet were thick, he had a large head and large joints, he had a long Masrubah (the line of hair from the chest to the navel), and whenever he walked, he leaned forward as if he was going down a decline. I did not see anyone like him before him or afterwards."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي حَلِيمَةَ مِنْ قَصْرِ الأَحْنَفِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، مِنْ وَلَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيٌّ، إِذَا وَصَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْمُمَّغِطِ وَلاَ بِالقَصِيرِ الْمُتَرَدِّدِ وَكَانَ رَبْعَةً مِنَ القَوْمِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِالجَعْدِ القَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبِطِ كَانَ جَعْدًا رَجِلاً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِالمُطَهَّمِ، وَلاَ بِالمُكَلْثَمِ، وَكَانَ فِي الوَجْهِ تَدْوِيرٌ، أَبْيَضُ مُشْرَبٌ، أَدْعَجُ العَيْنَيْنِ، أَهْدَبُ الأَشْفَارِ، جَلِيلُ الْمُشَاشِ، وَالكَتَدِ، أَجْرَدُ ذُو مَسْرُبَةٍ شَثْنُ الكَفَّيْنِ وَالقَدَمَيْنِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَقَلَّعَ كَأَنَّمَا يَمْشِي فِي صَبَبٍ، وَإِذَا التَفَتَ التَفَتَ مَعًا، بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ خَاتَمُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهُوَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، أَجْوَدُ النَّاسِ صَدْرًا، وَأَصْدَقُ النَّاسِ لَهْجَةً، وَأَلْيَنُهُمْ عَرِيكَةً، وَأَكْرَمُهُمْ عِشْرَةً، مَنْ رَآهُ بَدِيهَةً هَابَهُ، وَمَنْ خَالَطَهُ مَعْرِفَةً أَحَبَّهُ، يَقُولُ نَاعِتُهُ: لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ.

Ibrahim bin Muhammad, one of the offspring of Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) said: "When Ali (RA) would describe the Prophet ﷺ he would say: 'He was not extremely tall nor was he extremely short, and he was of medium height in comparison to the people. The wave of his hair was not completely curly, nor straight, but it was in between. He did not have a large head, nor a small head, his face was round and a blended-white colour, his eyes were dark black, his eye-lashes were long. He was big-boned and broad shouldered, his body hair was well-placed, and he had a Masrubah, his hands and feet were thick. When he walked, he walked briskly, he leaned forward as if he was walking on a decline. And if he turned his head, his body turned as well, between his two shoulders was the seal of Prophethood, and he was the seal of the Prophets. He was the most generous of people [in hand, and the most big-hearted of them] in breast. He was the most truthful of people in speech, the softest of them in nature, and the most noble of them in his relations. Whoever saw him for the first time would fear him, and whoever got to know him, loved him. The one who tried to describe him would have to say: 'I have not seen before him or after him anyone who resembles him ﷺ.'"

حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْرُدُ سَرْدَكُمْ هَذَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلاَمٍ يُبَيِّنُهُ، فَصْلٌ، يَحْفَظُهُ مَنْ جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ.

Aishah (RA) said: " Allah’s Apostle ﷺ did not speak quickly like you do now, rather he would spoke with pauses, such that those who sat with him would memorize it."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعِيدُ الكَلِمَةَ ثَلاَثًا لِتُعْقَلَ عَنْهُ.

Narrated from Anas bin Malik (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ used to repeat a statement thrice such that it could be understood.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ بْنِ جَزْءٍ، قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَكْثَرَ تَبَسُّمًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Ibn Jaz (RA) said: "I have not seen anyone smiling more than Allah’s Apostle ﷺ."

حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الخَلاَّلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ بْنِ جَزْءٍ، قَالَ: مَا كَانَ ضَحِكُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلاَّ تَبَسُّمًا.

Ibn Jaz (RA) said: "The laughter of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ was not but smiling."
