One of the most famous descriptions of the Prophet (S) is narrated by Umm Ma’bad, an elderly woman who the Prophet (S) encountered during his migration to Madinah.
She said, “I saw a man who had an awe-inspiring presence about him. He had the most beautiful character and his face was inviting and welcoming. His eyes were very big and dark, gripping and compelling. His eyelashes were very long. His beard was thick.
When he sat quietly, he just inspired awe. He had an air of dignity about him. When he spoke, he became the center of attention. He was very sweet in the way he spoke. He articulated himself very clearly and precisely. He was balanced in the words that he chose.
When he spoke, the words from his mouth were like beads of pearls falling from a string. Every word was like a gem.
From afar, you were gripped by the presence and beauty of this man. He was neither too tall nor too short. You couldn’t take your eyes off this man.
The people that were around him gravitated towards him. He was not so meek that he could be taken for granted, but at the same time he was not arrogant.”
