His Beautiful Appearance
Hadhrat Ayesha Radhi-Allâhu 'anha aptly summarised his resplendent beauty in the following words (referring to the incident mentioned in the Qur'ân concerning Yusuf Alayhis-Salâm, when the women cut their hands instead of the fruit upon beholding the beauty of Yusuf Alayhis-Salâm): “If the friends of Zuleikha had seen the blessed face of Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam, they would have cut their hearts open instead of their hands...” How heart-rending the words of Hassan bin Thabit are in describing Nabî Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam: “More beautiful than you has my eyes never observed. More handsome than you no mother has ever conceived. You have been created free of all blemishes, created as though you have been created as you intended.”
The final word on this matter is concisely put forward by Allamah Qurtubi Rahmahullâh who writes that the complete beauty of Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam was not manifested unto mankind, because they do not possess the capability to bear this.
