حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ

يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلاً مَرْبُوعًا بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الْجُمَّةِ إِلَى شَحْمَةِ أُذُنَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Al-Bara reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was of medium height, having broad shoulders, with his hair hanging down on the lobes of his ears. He put on a red mantle over him, and never have I seen anyone more handsome than the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ, ইবনু নুমায়র ও মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না (রহঃ) ..... হারিসাহ ইবনু ওয়াহব (রাযিঃ) বলেন, আমি রসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ তোমরা সদাকাহ দাও, এমন এক সময় আসবে মানুষ তার সদাকাহ নিয়ে যাকে দিতে যাবে সে বলবে, যদি তুমি গতকাল আসতে তাহলে আমি এটা গ্রহণ করতাম। এখন আমার আর প্রয়োজন নেই। অতঃপর সে সদাকাহ নেয়ার মতো কোন লোক পাবে না।

حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے ، انھو ں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " کوئی دن نہیں جس میں بندے صبح کرتے ہیں مگر ( اس میں آسمان سے ) دو فرشتے اترتے ہیں ، ان میں سے ایک کہتاہے : اے اللہ!خرچ کرنے والے کو ( بہترین ) بدل عطا فرما اور دوسرا کہتا ہے : اے اللہ! روکنے والے کا ( مال ) تلف کردے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abi Syaibah] dan [Ibnu Numair] keduanya berkata, Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] -dalam jalur lain- Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] -lafazh juga miliknya- Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Ma'bad bin Khalid] ia berkata,

saya mendengar [Haritsah bin Wahb] berkata; Saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Segeralah kalian bersedekah, karena dikhawatirkan kelak akan terjadi seorang laki-laki pergi ke mana-mana membawa sedekahnya, tetapi dijawab oleh orang yang hendak diberinya sedekah, 'kalaulah kemarin kamu datang, aku terima sedekahmu.

Sekarang aku tidak butuh lagi terhadap sedekahmu itu.' Akhirnya orang itu pun benar-benar tidak mendapat orang yang bersedia menerima sedekahnya itu

Bize Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe ile îbnü'n-Numeyr rivayet ettiler. Dedilerki: Bize Veki' rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Şu'be rivayet etti. H. Bize Muhammedü'bnü'l-Müsennâ da rivayet etti. Bu lâfız onun (Dediki): Bize Muhammed b. Ca'fer rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Şu'be, Ma'bed b. Hâlid'den naklen rivayet etti. Demişki: Ben, Hârisetüb'nü Vehb'i şunu söylerken işittim: (Dediki): Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'i şöyle buyururken dinledim.

«Sadaka verin! Zira yakında (öyle bir zaman gelecek ki,) bir adam sadakasını (diyar diyar) dolaştıracak da, kendisine sadaka vermek istediği kimse: (Sen, bu sadakayı bana dün getirseydin kabul ederdim. Ama şimdi benim ona ihtiyâcım yok) diyecek ve (neticede) sadakasını kabul edecek kimse bulamıyacak.»

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.
