The Prophet’s Noble Character, Nature and Physique
No written description of our beloved Prophet can ever do justice to his exceptional beauty. Lady Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, described him as being more handsome than Prophet Joseph, whose handsomeness caused the wives of pharaoh's ministers to gasp when they caught sight of him as they ate causing their knives to slip and injure their hands. She said, "If the friends of Zulayka had seen the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah they would have cut their hearts instead of their hands!"

The Prophet’s Resemblance to Abraham
The Prophet said, "The prophets were shown to me. I saw Moses, peace be upon him, he had a slender body, like a man from the tribe of Shanuah. I saw Jesus, peace be upon him, from all those I have seen, Urwah, the son of Masood is closest in resemblance to him. I saw Abraham, peace be upon him, and from all those I have seen I most resemble him. "
