Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The Seal of Prophethood was like a raised piece of red flesh near the left shoulder of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Different Companions, for the sake of explanation, likened it to various things according to their own understanding: some considered its shape and appearance, some its size and bulk, and some both.
