It is impossible to turn a
blind eye to the fact that Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Praise and Peace be upon
Him) is by far the most worthy and the greatest of all mankind, and that he is
the most perfect of all, adorned with the most excellent virtues and qualities.
وأحسن منك لم تر قط عيني
I haven’t seen
the lovely personality like you
وأجمل منك لم تلد النساء
And no mother have given
birth to such a wonderful personality
خُلِقْتَ مبرءاً من كل عيب
You are created free from
every fault
كأنك قد خُلِقْتَ كما تشاء
You were created, as you
wanted to be
His physical description and character have been reported by many of his
Companions and we are told that he was the most handsome man ever created,
surpassing Prophet Yousuf Alaihis Salam for whom the women of the city cut their
hands,
When she heard of their sly whispers, she sent for them and prepared a banquet.
To each she gave a knife, (then called Joseph saying,) 'Come and attend to
them.' When they saw him, they were so taken with him that they cut their hands,
and said, 'Allah save us! This is no mortal, he is no other but a noble angel!'
[12:21]

Sayings of the Exalted Companions about
Prophet's Blessed Physic:
The following sayings are but a fraction of the multi narrations of
the Companion's description of the Prophet (Praise and Peace be upon Him)
although they are but a sampling, they are sufficient to convey the perception
of his handsomeness. Everyone who met him said they had never seen anyone like
him.
When the Companion Al Bar'a Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho saw a lock of the Prophet's
hair resting on his red robe he commented,
"I have never seen anyone with a more
beautiful lock of hair than his resting on a red robe."
