Taken from book Shamail Tirmisdi masterpiece Book on physical description and character of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam.
All paise be to Allah who alone sustains the world. Exalted salaah (blessings) and complete salaam (peace) be on our master Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam and his family and companions.
The Shamaa-il of Imaam Abu 'Eesa Timidhi has a collection of 397 ahaadith and is divided into 55 chapters on the physical description and character of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. It has been printed on numerous occasions and many commentaries have been written on it. Thepresent English translation and commentary is of the Khasaa-il Nabawi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam by the late Shaykhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Rahamatullahi 'Alayhi. It will enable a Muslim to achieve a link and connection with the one whom Allah Ta'aala has made as a mercy unto
mankind, and most certainly Allah has spoken the truth when He mentions in His Book:
"Verily, you (0 Muhammad) are of a very high (noble) character".
A Muslim can truly claim his love for Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam, if he attempts to follow the manner and life-style of the messenger of Islam. We are given such an opportunity, after the reading of this book, for it enlightens the reader with the intimate aspect of Rasul Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's life.
Finally, we ask, Allah Ta'aala to reward us and that He instill within us the distinguished features and august character of this most Noble Messenger, who is the perfect example for Muslims.
