Respect for Prophets & Emulate Character & Behavior of Beloved Prophet (ﷺ) .

This hadith talks about the physical features of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was described as having a wide mouth which is referred to as ‘Dali’ al Fam’ in Arabic. His eyes were long and thin and his heels were small with little flesh on them which is referred to as ‘Manhus al Aqib’ in Arabic. These descriptions are based on what was narrated by Jabir bin Samurah who heard it from Simak who heard it from Shu’bah. This hadith serves to remind us that we should always strive to emulate the character and behavior of our beloved prophet ﷺ in all aspects including his physical appearance. We should also remember that Allah chose him for this great mission because he was perfect in every way possible and we should strive to be like him in all aspects of life.
