Sunan Abi Dawud 2268 (Book 13, Hadith 94) #22559
The Prophet's Physical Appearance

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) physical appearance when he entered upon a woman.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by ibn Shihab through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds "She said "he entered upon me looking pleased with the lines of his face brightened. Abu Dawud said "Ibn 'Uyainah did not remember the words "the lines of his face"". Abu Dawud said "The words "the lines of his face" have been narrated by Ibn 'Uyainah himself. He did not hear Al Zuhri say (these words). He heard some person other than Al Zuhri say these words. The words "the lines of his face" occur in the tradition narrated by Al Laith and others. Abu Dawud said " I heard Ahmad bin Salih say "Usamah was very black like tar and Zaid was white like cotton".
