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.

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)
