The book’s text
ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) was not very tall nor was he short. ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) was of a moderate height. His head was fairly large and his beard was thick. There were a few strands of white hair on his mubaarak head and beard. Some have mentioned that there were twenty to twenty five strands of white hair.
Nabi’s ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) face was extremely handsome and bright. Whoever saw the mubaarak face of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) described it to be brighter than the fourteenth moon.
The perspiration of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) had a unique fragrance. When the perspiration dripped from his mubaarak face, it would appear as if they were pearls.
Anas رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) has reported that the skin of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) was softer than silk and the scent that emanated from his body was more fragrant than musk and amber.
