حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَوْنَ بْنَ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ذَكَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " دُفِعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فِي قُبَّةٍ كَانَ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ خَرَجَ بِلَالٌ فَنَادَى بِالصَّلَاةِ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَأَخْرَجَ فَضْلَ وَضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَأَخْرَجَ الْعَنَزَةَ وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ سَاقَيْهِ فَرَكَزَ الْعَنَزَةَ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ " .
Narrated Abu Juhaifa: By chance I went to the Prophet at noon while he was at Al-Abtah (resting) in a tent. Bilal came out (of the tent) and pronounced the Adhan for the prayer, and entering again, he brought out the water which was left after Allah's Apostle had performed the ablution. The people rushed to take some of the water. Bilal again went in and brought out a spear-headed stick, and then Allah's Apostle came out. As if I were now looking at the whiteness of his leg. Bilal fixed the stick and the Prophet offered a two-rak`at Zuhr prayer and a two-rak`at `Asr prayer, while women and donkeys were passing in front of the Prophet (beyond the stick) .

Hadith Commentary:
A spear was fixed in front of him as a sutrah (barrier) for prayer.
The chapter heading is derived from this, indicating that his shins were extremely beautiful and radiant.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
In this hadith, there is mention of the shins of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, describing them as white and radiant.

Jabir bin Samurah radi Allahu anhu states that the shins of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were not excessively heavy or fleshy, but rather they were slender and well-shaped.
(al-Musannaf li-Ibn Abi Shaybah: 11/513)

Suraqah bin Malik radi Allahu anhu says:
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was riding a she-camel, and when I came close, I observed his shin, which in its whiteness and delicacy was like the inner pulp of a date cluster.
(Dala’il al-Nubuwwah: 1/207)
