Anas commented, "I have never smelled amber, musk or anything more fragrant than the aroma of the Messenger of Allah "
There was an occasion when the Messenger of Allah touched the cheek of Jabir, Samura's son and Jabir said, "I felt a cool sensation and his hand was fragrant, it was as if he had withdrawn it from a sachet of perfume.
The Prophet visited the house of Anas and took his customary mid-day nap and perspired. When Anas's mother noticed the perspiration she fetched a long necked bottle into which she collected the drops of perspiration. Later, the Messenger of Allah inquired about it, whereupon she replied, "We take your perspiration and use it as perfume and it is the best of perfumes."
When the Prophet passed away, Imam Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, washed his body and said, "I washed the Prophet, and looked for the normal discharge one finds from a deceased person but found nothing, whereupon I said, 'You were pure during your life and pure in death.'"
When the Prophet passed away, Abu Bakr kissed him and mentioned the sweetness of his aroma.
On one occasion, the Prophet's blood was cupped, whereupon Abdullah,
Zubair's son swallowed it. The Prophet did not object to what he had done but said, "Woe to you from the people and woe to the people from you." (Meaning Abdullah Zubair’s son would be tested by people and people would be tested by him).
Abbas' son said that as the Prophet slept he heard him breathing deeply. He woke up to pray but did not make ablution. Ikrima said, "That was because he was protected by Allah." (Shaykh Darwish added: When he slept his eyes were closed but his heart and internal being were not in the status of sleep, therefore he would make ablution only when it was needed. The Prophet said, "My eyes sleep but my heart does not.")
The Prophet's Intellect, Eloquence and Astuteness
The Prophet was gifted by Allah with the most excellent intellect. He was astute and his senses were acute. As for his speech he was by far the most eloquent. Allah also gifted the Prophet with graceful movement and the excellent faculties. There is no doubt that these qualities were unsurpassable.
