He had a broad forehead and his eyebrows were separate and thick with densely fine
hair. When the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) became displeased a vein between
his eyebrows became enlarged. His eyes were black and his eyelashes long, mascared
with kohl made from ithmid that he applied thrice to each eye before sleeping. Our
Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) tells us that: "... kohl made from ithmid used on the
eye brightens the eyesight. Also, it strengthens and increases the growth of the eye
lashes." His Companions said that even when he did not use kohl, his eyes looked as if
he had.
His nose was prominently distinguished. His cheeks were smooth and well covered
whilst his proportionally perfect mouth was neither large nor yet small. His teeth were
bright, slender and evenly spaced, however, the space between his front teeth was
slightly larger. As for the thickness of his beard, it was dense.
