حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرْبُوعًا، بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، لَهُ شَعَرٌ يَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنِهِ، رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ، لَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ. قَالَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was of moderate height having broad shoulders (long) hair reaching his ear-lobes. Once I saw him in a red cloak and I had never seen a more handsome man than him.

বারাআ ইবনু ‘আযিব (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মাঝারি গড়নের ছিলেন। তাঁর উভয়ে কাঁধের মধ্যস্থল প্রশস্ত ছিল। তাঁর মাথার চুল দুই কানের লতি পর্যন্ত বিস্তৃত ছিল। আমি তাঁকে লাল ডোরাকাটা জোড় চাদর পরা অবস্থায় দেখেছি। তাঁর চেয়ে বেশি সুন্দর আমি কখনো কাউকে দেখিনি। ইউসুফ ইবনু আবূ ইসহাক তাঁর পিতা হতে হাদীস বর্ণনায় বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর মাথার চুল কাঁধ পর্যন্ত বিস্তৃত ছিল। (৫৮৪৮, ৫৯০১)

ہم سے حفص بن عمر نے بیان کیا، ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابواسحٰق نے اور ان سے براء بن عازب رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم درمیانہ قد کے تھے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا سینہ بہت کشادہ اور کھلا ہوا تھا۔ آپ کے ( سر کے ) بال کانوں کی لو تک لٹکتے رہتے تھے۔

میں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ایک مرتبہ ایک سرخ جوڑے میں دیکھا۔ میں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے بڑھ کر حسین کسی کو نہیں دیکھا تھا۔ یوسف بن ابی اسحٰق نے اپنے والد کے واسطہ سے «إلى منكبيه‏.‏» بیان کیا ( بجائے لفظ «شحمة أذنه» ) یعنی آپ کے بال مونڈھوں تک پہنچتے تھے۔

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Hafsh bin 'Umar] telah bercerita kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Abu Ishaq] dari [Al Bara' bin 'Azib radliallahu 'anhuma] berkata; "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam adalah seorang yang berdada bidang, jarak antara kedua bahunya agak panjang. Beliau mempunyai rambut hingga menyentuh ujung telinga. Dan aku pernah melihat beliau mengenakan baju merah dan tidak pernah kulihat ada yang lebih bagus dari baju itu".

[Yusuf bin Abu Ishaq] berkata dari [bapaknya]; "Rambut beliau terjuntai hingga menyentuh pundak beliau

Bera' bin Azib r.a. dedi ki: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem omuzları arası geniş, uzun’a yakın orta boylu idi. Kulak yumuşaklarına kadar ulaşan saçları vardı. Bir gün onu kırmızı renkli bir hulle giymiş gördüm. Ondan güzel hiçbir şey görmedim." Yusuf bin İshak babasından rivayetle: "(Saçları) omuzlarına kadar (ulaşırdı)" diye rivayet etmiştir.

What it means

Al-Barā’ ibn ‘Āzib (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he never saw anyone whose hair was long, reaching his shoulders, and who wore a black lower and upper garment with red stripes, more handsome than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Among his physical characteristics was that he was broad between the shoulders, with a wide chest, and he was of medium height, neither tall nor short.

What it teaches

  • Clarifying some of the outward beautiful qualities of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), such as the beauty of his hair, the broadness of his chest, his handsome stature, and other characteristics.
  • The love of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was so profound that they would narrate and transmit to those after them his physical characteristics and moral attributes.
