THE MATCHLESS PROPHET

The radiance of His face was such that His mere presence would light up a place. His radiance would eclipse the light of any lamp, even the sun. It would seem that the sun would draw from the face of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).

Hadhrat Aisha (May Allah be well pleased with her) narrates,” The Holy Prophet’s (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) face was the most beautiful among all men and His Complexion was the most luminous.” Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) says, “I have never seen anybody stronger and braver; more generous and more benevolent, more pure and more radiant than the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). (Sunan Darmi, Vol 1, Pg No: 30)

Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with them) says, “The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) had no shadow. His radiance would eclipse even the bright sun. In front of a lighted lamp, His radiance would be more powerful.” (Subul ul Huda war rashad, Vol 2, Pg No: 39/40)

The luminosity of his face would further increase on occasions of happiness and joy. As Hadhrat Ka’ab bin Malik (May Allah be well pleased with him) says,” Whenever the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was happy, His face would become even more luminous.” (Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Pg No: 502)
