Anas ibn Malik (ra) reports: “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)
was neither very tall of stature, nor short. His skin was neither pale white, nor tawny,
and his hair was neither crisply curled, nor lank. Allah (Exalted is He) sent him [to serve
as His Messenger] at the end of forty years of life, so he stayed in Mecca for ten years
and in Medina for ten years, and Allah took him unto Himself at the end of sixty years,
with fewer than twenty white hairs on his head and his beard.”

shouldered, he was neither short nor tall.”

On the authority of 'Umar ibn 'Abdillah, the Mawla of Ghufra: I have been told by
Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, one of the offspring of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be well
pleased with him): “When 'Ali described Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give
him peace), he said: "Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was
neither assertively tall, nor reticently short, and he was an average-sized member of
the population. His hair was neither crisply curled nor lank; it was loosely curled. He
was neither plump nor chubby-cheeked, and in his face there was a rounded quality.
He was white with a reddish tinge, dark black-eyed, with long eyelashes. He had
splendid kneecaps, elbow joints and shoulder blades, free from hair. He had a strip of
hair from the top of the chest to the navel. The palms of his hands and the soles of his
feet were thickset. When he walked, he moved as if he were descending a declivity, and
when he looked around, he looked around altogether. Between his shoulders was the
Seal of Prophethood, for he is the Seal of the Prophets. He was the best of the people
in generosity, the most truthful of the people in speech, the gentlest of them in
temperament, and the noblest of them in social intercourse. If someone saw him
unexpectedly, he was awestruck by him, and if someone came to know him, he loved
him. His describer says: “I have never seen the like of him (Allah bless him and give him
peace), neither before him nor after him.”

Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him and his father) said: “My maternal
aunt Hind asked the son of Abu Hala, who was a describer of the finery of Allah’s
Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), to describe something of it that would
be of interest to me, so he said: Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)
was an honored dignitary, whose face shone with the radiance of the moon on the
night of the full moon. He was taller than medium-sized, and shorter than the slender
giant. His head was grand and impressive, with loosely curled hair. If his forelock
became divided, he would part it. Otherwise his hair would not cross over his earlobes,
and he would let it grow plentiful and long. He was bright of color, broad of forehead,
endowed with arched eyebrows, perfect without being conjoined, with a vein between
them that anger would cause to pulsate. The bridge of his nose was curved. He had a
light that would rise over him, and someone who did not reflect on him would consider
him haughty. He was thickly bearded, endowed with smooth cheeks, a wide mouth,
cleft teeth, and a delicate strip of hair from the top of the chest to the navel. It was as
if his neck were the neck of a statue shaped in pure silver. He was well proportioned in
physique, firmly cohesive, with the stomach and the breast in even balance. He was
wide-chested, broad-shouldered, endowed with stout limbs and very shiny bare skin.
Between the top of the chest and the navel by a strip of hair like a line of writing, while
his breasts and stomach were bare apart from that.

 Chapter 1: His SAW Noble Features

He had hair on his arms and shoulders and the upper parts of his chest. His forearms
were long. He had a sensitive touch of the hand. The palms of his hands and the soles
of his feet were thickset. His extremities were well formed [sa’il (or he may have said
sha’il)]. The hollows of his soles were very deep-set. His feet were so smooth that
water bounced off them. When he left a place, he would go away striding decisively. He
would tread inclining forward and walk comfortably. His gait was brisk. When he
walked, it was as if he were descending a declivity, and when he looked around, he
looked around altogether. He lowered his eyesight, and he spent more time looking at
the ground than he did looking at the sky. The majority of his looking was observation.

Salman, what is this?’ He replied: A charitable gift for you and for your Companions’
‘Take it away,’ said the Prophet, ‘for we will not eat a charitable gift.’ He therefore took
it away. Then he came the next day with the like of it, and placed it in front of Allah’s
Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), who said: ‘What is this, O Salman?’ He
replied: ‘A present for you,’ so Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)
said to his Companions: ‘Spread out!’ Then Salman looked at the Seal on the back of
Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), so he believed in him. He was
a slave of the Jews, however, so Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)
purchased his freedom at such-and-such a price of silver coin, on condition that he
[the Prophet] would plant date palms for them, and Salman would work on them until
they bore edible fruit. Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) then
planted the date palms, apart from one date palm that 'Umar planted. The date palms
then bore their annual crop, but one date palm did not bear fruit, so Allah’s Messenger
said (Allah bless him and give him peace): ‘What is the matter with this date palm?’
'Umar said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I planted it!’ Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and
give him peace) therefore uprooted it and replanted it, so it bore its annual crop."

Jarir ibn 'Abdi’llah reports: "I was brought before ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be
well pleased with him), whereupon Jarir discarded his cloak and walked in his loincloth,
so he said to him: 'Pick up your cloak!' ‘Umar then said to the group: 'I have not seen
any man more handsome in form than Jarir, except what we have been told about the
appearance of Joseph, the Champion of Truth (peace be upon him)'!”

Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali said (may Allah the Exalted be well pleased with him and his father): “I said to
my maternal uncle, Hind ibn Abi Hala, who was skilled at describing people: ‘Describe for me
the manner of speech Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)!’ He said: Allah’s
Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was constantly sympathetic with sorrows,
persistent in thought, having no repose, prolonged in silence. He would not speak
unnecessarily. He would introduce and conclude his speech with: 'Bismillahi ta'ala [In the
Name of Allah, Exalted is He]!' He would speak using simple words bearing many profound
meanings [bi-jawami'i ’l-kalim]. His speech was concise, neither excessive nor abridged. It was
neither uncouth nor contemptible. He would extol a blessing, however small, and he would not
find fault with any aspect of it. He neither condemned nor praised those who enjoyed food and
drink, and he would not be angered by this world. If the truth were overstepped, he would be
so furious that he could do nothing but right the wrong. He would not be angry for his own
sake or come to his own defense. When he beckoned, he beckoned with the whole of the palm
of his hand, and when he was astonished, he turned it over, and when he spoke, he gestured
with his hands, and placed his right palm over the base of his left thumb. When he was angry,
he turned away and averted his face, and when he was happy, he lowered his gaze. Most of his
laughter was in the form of a smile that revealed teeth as white as hailstones'.”

shot it when he raised his head, so it did not miss this part of him — meaning his

present from the desert, so the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) would
equip him when he wished to go out to battle. “The Prophet said (Allah bless him and
give him peace):‘Zahir is our desert, and we are his towns'. He (Allah bless him and give
him peace) used to love him, though he was a homely man, so the Prophet (Allah bless
him and give him peace) came to him one day while he was selling his wares, and
embraced him from behind so that he couldn't see who it was. So he said: ‘Who is this?
Let go of me!’ Then he turned around and recognized the Prophet (Allah bless him and
give him peace). Once he recognized the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace),
he kept his back pressed to the Prophet's chest, so the Prophet (Allah bless him and
give him peace) proceeded to say: ‘Who will buy this slave?’ The man said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, in that case, by Allah, you will find me an unsellable commodity!’
The Prophet said (Allah bless him and give him peace): ‘But you are not an unsaleable
commodity in the view of Allah),’ or he said: ‘You are precious to Allah!'”

‫‪[jabal] that is rugged, not smooth, so he climbs it, emaciated, and is carried away‬‬
‫‪[yuntaqal].” ‘The second said: “I do not broadcast my husbands story [khabara-hu], for I‬‬
‫‪am afraid that I may not let him alone [la adhara-hu]. If I mention him, I shall mention‬‬
‫‪his apparent faults ['ujara-hu] and his hidden defects [bujara-hu]” ‘The third said: “My‬‬
‫‪husband is extremely tall and ill- natured ['ashannaq]. If I speak, I will be divorced‬‬
‫‪[utallaq], and if keep silent, I will be left in suspense [u'allaq]” ‘The fourth said: “My‬‬
‫‪husband is like the night of Tihama [the province in which Mecca is situated]: neither‬‬
‫‪heat nor cold, and neither fear nor disgust [sa’ama].” ‘The fifth said: “If my husband‬‬
‫‪comes in, he is relaxed like the lynx [fahida], and if he goes out, he is bold like the lion‬‬
‫‪[asida] and does not ask about what he has undertaken ['ahida]. ‘The sixth said: “If my‬‬

If he lies down to sleep, he wraps himself up [iltaffa], and he does not feel with the
palm of his hand to detect [his wife’s] sorrow [al-baththa].” ‘The seventh said: “My
husband is incompetent ['ayaya’]— or dispirited [ghayaya’]—, impotent [tabaqa], sick
with every sickness [da’]. He would fracture your skull [shajja-ki] or jag you [falla-ki], or
do both to you [la-ki]” ‘The eighth said: “My husband is softness, the softness of a
rabbit [arnab], and scent, the scent of saffron [zarnab]” ‘The ninth said: “My husband is
of lofty status [imad], of tall stature [najad], of splendid hospitality [ramad], the
neighbor of the clubhouse [bait an-nad].” ‘The tenth said: “My husband is Malik, and
what is Malik? Malik is better than that. [In order to provide food for the guest], he has
camels with many stalls [mabarik] and few pastures. If they hear the sound of the lute,
they know for certain that they are about to be slaughtered [hawalik]”‘ The eleventh
said: “My husband is Abu Zar", and what about Abu Zar'? He has made my ears dangle
with jewelry. He has filled my upper arms with fat. He has made me happy, so my soul
has become happy with me. He found me among the owners of little sheep and goats,
in dire straits, so he put me among the owners of neighing [horses], braying [camels],
crop-treading [cows] and fattening [sheep]. I therefore speak in his presence, for I shall
not be rebuked. I sleep soundly until the morning arrives, and I shall drink until I
satisfy my thirst. “The mother of Abu Zar so what about the mother of Abu Zar? Her
bundles [of clothes and suchlike] are heavy, and her house is spacious. “The son of
Abu Zar so what about the son of Abu Zar? His couch is like a palm-stick stripped of its
leaves [because he is very slender], and the foreleg of the lamb fills his stomach. “The
daughter of Abu Zar, so what about the daughter of Abu Zar? She is obedient to her
father and obedient to her mother. She fits perfectly into her clothes, and she is the
rage of her female neighbor. “The maidservant of Abu Zar so what about the
maidservant of Abu Zar? She does not broadcast our speech, nor does she scatter our
provisions, nor does she fill our home with treachery and slander.” ‘She said: “Abu Zar"
went out while the milkskins were being churned, and so he encountered a woman
accompanied by two children of hers. Like a pair of lynxes, they were playing below her
waist with a couple of lumps shaped like pomegranates. He therefore divorced me and
married her, so I married a nobly generous man. He rode a sturdy horse and held a
spear. He endowed me with rich benefits, and gave me a couple of every perfume. He
said: ‘Eat, Umm Zar, and feed your relatives!’ Yet even if I collected everything that he
gave me, it would not amount to the smallest of the vessels of Abu Zar'!” 'A'isha said
(may Allah be well pleased with her): “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him
peace) said to me: ‘I have been to you as Abu Zar was to Umm Zar'.”

Al-Aswad ibn Yazid said: “I asked 'A'sha (may Allah be well pleased with her) about the
nighttime ritual prayer of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), so
she said: ‘He used to sleep at the beginning of the night. Then he would get up, and
when it was the time before daybreak, he performed a witr [a ritual prayer with an odd
number of cycles]. Then he came to his mattress, and if he had a need, he had sexual
intercourse with his wife. When he heard the call to prayer, he sprang up, and if he was
in a state of major ritual impurity, he poured water over himself, and if not, he
performed the minor ritual ablution and went out to the ritual prayer.”

Ibn 'Abbas informed him that he spent the night in the home of Maimuna, his maternal
aunt and he said: "I reclined across the cushion and Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him
and give him peace) reclined lengthwise, whereupon Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless
him and give him peace) slept until the middle of the night, or a little while before or
after it. Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) then woke up, wiped
the sleep off his face, and recited the final ten verses of the Sura of the Family of
‘Imran [Al 'Imran]. Then he approached a suspended waterskin, performed the minor
ritual ablution and performed it well, after which he performed the ritual prayer.”
Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said: “I got up and stood by his side, whereupon Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) placed his right hand on my head, gripped my
right ear and twisted it. After this he performed two cycles of ritual prayer, then two
more cycles, then two more cycles, then two more cycles, then two more cycles, then
two more cycles..” He (Ma'an) said: “... six times, after which he performed an odd-
numbered cycle. Then he reclined until the muezzin came to him, whereupon he got
up and performed two abbreviated cycles. Then he went out and performed the early-
morning ritual prayer".

sublimity ['azama]! Then he recited the Sura al-Baqara. Then he bowed down, and he
bowed for approximately as long as he had stood erect, saying: ‘Glory be to my Lord,
the Almighty! Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty!’ Then he raised his head, and he stood
erect for approximately as long as he had bowed, saying: ‘To my Lord belongs the
praise! To my Lord belongs the praise!’ Then he prostrated himself, and he prostrated
for approximately as long as he had stood erect, saying: ‘Glory be to my Lord, the Most
High! Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!’ Then he raised his head, and the pause
between the two prostrations was approximately as long as the prostrations. During
the pause he said: ‘My Lord, forgive me! My Lord, forgive me,’ until he recited the Suras
al-Baqara, Al 'Imran, an-Nisa’, and al-Maida, or al-An'am.” According to Abu 'Isa:

the voluntary ritual prayers of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace),
and she said: ‘He used to spend a long night performing the ritual prayer while
standing, and a long night while sitting, so if he recited the Qur’an while standing, he
would bow and prostrate from a standing position, and if he recited while sitting, he
would bow and prostrate from a sitting position.”

Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), said: “Allah’s

prayer sitting down , and he would recite the Sura and pronounce it slowly, so that it
would seem to be longer than one that was actually longer than it.”

afternoon prayer, he used to perform two cycles of ritual prayer, and when the sun
was from over here, like its appearance from over here, at the time of the midday
prayer, he would perform four. He would also perform four cycles before the midday
prayer and two after it, and four before the afternoon prayer, separating each pair of
cycles with the salutation of peace upon the angels drawn near, and upon the
Prophets and the believers and Muslims who follow them'.”

pause and ask [for that mercy], and whenever he came to a verse referring to a
torment, he would pause and seek refuge [from that torment]. Then he bowed down
and remained bowing for as long as he had remained standing upright, saying: “Glory
be to the Lord of power [jabarut], sovereignty [malakut], magnificence [kibriya'] and
sublimity ['azama]!” Then he prostrated for as long as he had bowed, saying: ““Glory be
to the Lord of power, sovereignty, magnificence and sublimity!” Then he recited the
Sura of Al 'Imran followed by another Sura, and he did this in every cycle of the ritual
prayer.”

Aiman cried, so he, meaning the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), said:
'Are you weeping in the presence of Allah’s Messenger?’ She replied: 'Am I not seeing
you weep?’ He said: 'I am not weeping. It is actually a mercy. The believer has every
benefit in every situation. His soul is removed within him as he praises Allah (Almighty
and Glorious is He)!'”

Abdullah ibn ‘Amr said: "The sun was eclipsed one day in the era of Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace), so Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give
him peace) stood performing the ritual prayer, until he could hardly bow down, then
he bowed down and could hardly raise his head, then he raised his head and could
hardly prostrate himself, then he prostrated himself and could hardly raise his head,
so he began to gasp and weep, saying: 'O my Lord, have You not promised me that You
will not torment them while I am among them? O my Lord, have You not promised me
that You will not torment them while they and we are appealing to You for
forgiveness?' Then, once he had performed two cycles of ritual prayer, the sun became
visible, so he stood up, praised Allah (Exalted is He) and extolled Him. Then he said:
'The sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah. They are not eclipsed because of
someone’s death, nor because of his coming to life, so when they are eclipsed, you
must seek refuge in the remembrance of Allah (Exalted is He)!'”

Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali said: “I asked my maternal uncle, Hind ibn Abi Hala, who was an
expert describer, about the finery of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him
peace), and I asked him to describe something of it for me, so he said: ‘Allah’s
Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was an honored dignitary, whose face
shone with the radiance of the moon on the night of the full moon.’" Then he related
the tradition in its full length. Al-Hasan said: “I concealed it from al-Husain for some
time, then I related it to him, so I found that he had beaten me to it.” He therefore
asked him about what he had asked him about, and he found that he had asked his
father about his entrance and his exit and his outward appearance, so he did not leave
anything out of it. Al-Husain said: “I asked my father about the entry of Allah’s
Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), so he said: ‘When Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) betook himself to his residence, he divided his
entry into three sections: a section for Allah’s sake, a section for his family’s sake, and
a section for his own sake. Then he divided his section between himself and the
people, so he was assigning that in particular to the common folk, and he was not
keeping anything from them. His conduct in the section of the Community included
preference for the people of excellent merit, with his permission, and its allotment
according to the value of their excellent merit in the religion, for among them was the
one burdened with one need, and among them was the one burdened with two needs,
and among them was the one burdened with multiple needs.

He would therefore preoccupy himself with them, and preoccupy them with what would
benefit them and the Community, including questioning them about it and informing
them of what would be appropriate for them. He would say: 'Let the one of you who is
present inform the absentee, and notify me of the need of someone who is incapable of
notification, for if someone notifies a Sultan of the need of someone who is incapable of
its notification, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the Day of the Resurrection. Nothing
but that will be mentioned in His presence, and it will not be accepted from anyone other
than him. They will enter as seekers, and they will not separate except on the strength of
an intuition, and they will emerge as guides (meaning to goodness).’” He said: “Then I
asked him about his exit: ‘How was he used to behaving in it?’ He said: ‘Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) used to hold his tongue with regard to anything that
did not concern him. He used to bring people together and not alienate them. He would
honor the noble, generous man of every community, and put him in charge of them. He
would caution people and be wary of them, without concealing his good humor and his
natural disposition from anyone among them. He would watch out for his Companions,
and he would ask people about their affairs. He would present the beautiful in a
favorable light and strengthen it, and he would reveal the ugly for what it was and
weaken it. He was equitable, not argumentative. He remained vigilant lest others be
negligent or deviate from the right path. He had a means of dealing with every situation.
He would neither fall short of the truth, nor overstep it. Those who followed him were the
best of people. The most meritorious in his sight were those most receptive to sincere
advice and most elevated in status those most generous in consolation and support.’” He
said: “Then I asked him about his session, so he said: ‘Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him
and give him peace) would neither stand up nor sit down without observing the
remembrance of Allah. When he eventually joined a group of people, he would take
whatever seat was available, and he instructed others to do the same. He would give each
of his sitting companions his share of time and attention, and every one of them would
feel equally honored. If someone sat with him, or conferred with him about a need, he
would bear with him patiently, so that the person who had sought him out would be the
first to leave. If someone asked him for something he needed, he would not send him
away without what he had requested, or least some comforting words. His munificence
and his good nature encompassed people such that he became a father to them, and
they became truly equal in his presence. His session was a session of knowledge,
forbearance, modesty, trust and patience. Voices were not raised there, there was no talk
of women, and people’s lapses were not broadcast. They were on a par with one another,
contending with each other only in piety, humbly revering the elderly and showing
compassion for the young. They were solicitous to the needy, and took good care of the
stranger.’

Ibn 'Abbas said (may Allah be well pleased with him and his father): ‘Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) was the most generous of humankind in charity,
and he was at his most charitable in the month of Ramadan, until it was concluded.
Gabriel would then come to him and present the Qur’an to him, and when Gabriel met
him, Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was more generous in
charity than the winds sent with showering rain.”

Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali said: “Al-Husain said: ‘I asked my father how the Prophet (Allah bless
him and give him peace) comported himself among his table companions, so he said:
'Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was always good-humored,
easy-going, mild- mannered, neither rude nor coarse, nor boisterous, nor obscene, nor
slanderous, nor avaricious. He would take no interest in what he did not desire, he
would not leave anyone who pleaded with him hopeless or disappointed. There were
three things he avoided: hypocrisy, excess, and what did not concern him. Similarly, he
would not blame someone, find fault with him, or invade his privacy. He would only
utter that for which he hoped to earn a reward. When he spoke, his table companions
bowed in silence as if birds had alighted on their heads, and only when he fell silent
would they speak. They would not contest one another’s right to speak in his presence,
and when someone spoke in his presence, they listened to him until he finished. Their
speech in his presence was the speech of the best of them. He would laugh about
whatever they laughed about, and marvel at whatever they marveled at. He used to
exercise patience with a stranger's rough manner of speaking or making inquiries,
even if his Companions were keen to attract them, saying: ‘If you find someone seeking
something he needs, you must help him!’ He would only accept praise in moderation,
and he would not interrupt someone who was speaking, until he transgressed a limit,
in which case he would interrupt him with a prohibition or by standing up.”

'Umar therefore said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have given it to him, so Allah has not
burdened you with what is beyond your means!’ The Prophet (Allah bless him and give

‘O Messenger of Allah, give, and do not fear any impoverishment from the Lord of the
Throne!’ Allah’s Messenger smiled (Allah bless him and give him peace), and it was

Anas ibn Malik said: “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was
neither very tall of stature, nor short. His skin was neither pale white, nor tawny, and
his hair was neither crisply curled, nor lank. Allah (Exalted is He) sent him [to serve as
His Messenger] at the end of forty years of life, so he stayed in Mecca for ten years and
in Medina for ten years, and Allah took him unto Himself at the end of sixty years, with
fewer than twenty white hairs on his head and in his beard.”

Anas ibn Malik said: "The last occasion when I caught sight of Allah’s Messenger (Allah
bless him and give him peace) was the unveiling of the curtain on a Monday. I looked
at his face as if it were a parchment of the Qur’an, as the people were performing the
ritual prayer behind Abu Bakr. The people were about to get restless, so he gestured to
them to keep calm, as Abu Bakr led them in prayer, and he cast the curtain aside.
Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) died at the end of that day.”

He [Salim] said: “Then he lost consciousness and recovered, so he said: ‘Command Bilal to
give the call to prayer, and command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer, for you are the
female companions of Yusuf!’ Bilal was therefore commanded, so he gave the call to prayer,
and Abu Bakr was commanded, so he led the people in prayer. Then Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) felt light in the head, so he said: ‘Find me someone I
can lean on!’ Barira and another man therefore came to him, so he leaned on them. When
Abu Bakr saw him, the man was about to withdraw, but he signaled for him to stay in his
place until Abu Bakr completed his ritual prayer. Then Allah’s Messenger died (Allah bless
him and give him peace), so 'Umar said: ‘If I hear anyone mention that Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace) has died, I will strike him with this sword of mine!”’ He
[Salim] said: “The people were unlettered folk among whom there had never come a
prophet before, so they held their tongues. But then they said: ‘O Salim, go to the
Companion of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) and summon him.’ So
I went to see Abu Bakr, in the mosque. I came to him weeping and perplexed, so when he
saw me, he said: ‘Has Allah’s Messenger died (Allah bless him and give him peace)?’ I
replied: 'Umar says: “If anyone mentions that Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give
him peace) has died, I will strike him with this sword of mine!” He then said to me: ‘Go
outside,’ so I went outside with him. Then he came and found the people in the presence of
Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace). “He therefore said: ‘O people, get
out of my way,’ so they got out of his way. Then he leaned over him and touched him,
saying: “You will surely die, and they will surely die." [inna-ka mayyitun wa inna-hum
mayyitun].” (Al-Qur'an.39:3O). Then they said: ‘O Companion of Allah’s Messenger (Allah
bless him and give him peace), should the funeral prayer be performed for Allah’s
Messenger?’ When he said: ‘Yes,’ they asked: And how?’ He said: A group will enter, proclaim
the Supreme Greatness of Allah, perform the ritual prayer and offer supplication. Then they
will go out, so that other people may enter.’ They said: ‘O Companion of Allah’s Messenger
(Allah bless him and give him peace), should Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give
him peace) be buried?’ When he said: ‘Yes,’ they asked: ‘Where?’ He said: ‘In the place in
which Allah took his spirit, for Allah would not take his spirit in a place that was not good,’
and they knew that he had spoken the truth.’ Then he gave instructions for the sons of his
father to bathe him, and the Emigrants [al-Muhajirun] assembled, consulting with one
another. They said: ‘Take us to our brethren among the Helpers [al-Ansar], so that we may
include them with us in this business.' The Helpers then said: ‘There should be a
commander among us and a commander among you,’ so 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: ‘Who
has the like of these three [excellent merits of Abu Bakr]? [In the words of the Qur’an]: “The
second of the two; when the two of them were in the cave, when he said to his companion:
‘Do not grieve. Allah is with us [thaniya’thnaini idh huma fi’l-ghari idh yaqulu li-sahibi-hi la
tahzan inna’llaha ma'a-na].’” (Al-Qur'an.9:4O). Who are the two of them?’ Then he extended
his hand, so they pledged allegiance to him, and the people paid him a beautiful homage.”

you describe this man whom you saw in your sleep?” “Yes,” he said. “I shall describe for

endowed with a pleasant smile and handsome facial features; his beard went from
here to here, and it came down over the top of his chest.” 'Awf said: "I do not know
