Adnan Rajeh – Recitations from the book of Prophetic Descriptions #2

His hair, at the beginning of his head,

would be long enough to actually curl back

and touch this part of your ear.

So it wasn't short.

Sometimes he would have very long hair.

Other descriptions for him that his hair sometimes

would part in the middle.

Some descriptions say he had hair so long

that parts of it would be braided.

All of these are in the Sihah, by

the way, about him.

Which is why I tend not to take

care too much about haircuts and think it's

a big deal.

Because the Prophet ﷺ was quite diverse when

it came to it.

But this is for you to imagine him.

Someone of this build.

Broad shoulders.

He had thick hair ﷺ.

Sometimes long enough to go back to his

ear.

Al-Bara' says, I saw him one day,

عليه فلة حمراء He was wearing a piece

of clothing that had red stripes within it.

So I looked at him.

And I'm not going to reiterate every hadith

in this book.

I'm choosing certain hadith.

I like this one because when he says,

يقول ما رأيت شيئا قط أحسن منه I've

never seen anything that's more beautiful than him

ﷺ.

Not anyone.

He didn't say anyone.

He didn't say ما رأيت أحدا.

He didn't say anyone.

He said ما رأيت شيئا I've never seen

anything in the entirety of my life that

was more beautiful than him ﷺ.

With his striped hula that he was wearing.

And him standing there ﷺ.

And this is how these young people grew

up.

They grew up with their eyes filled with

the beauty of the Prophet ﷺ.

This is why Bara' ibn A'zib would

continue his life as a mujahid fi sabilillah

and die as a martyr.

Because that's who he spent his time looking

at.

عليه رضي الله عنه على وجه سيدنا رسول

الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول إمام الترمذي

في جامعه بسنة صحيح سمعت براء ابن عازب

يقول كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

مربوعا بعيد ما بين المنكبين عظيم الجمة إلى

شحمة أذنيه عليه حلة حمراء ما رأيت شيئا

قط أحسن منه صلى الله عليه وسلم لا

إله إلا أنت أستغفرك و أتوب إليك
