حديث جابر بن سمرة السوائي، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith of Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ السُّوَائِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hadith of Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7455 — the blessed shins of the Prophet ﷺ were
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ قُلْتَ : أَكْحَلُ ، وَلَيْسَ بِأَكْحَلَ ، لَا يَضْحَكُ إِلَّا تَبَسُّمًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the blessed shins of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were (rather than fleshy) slender and well-shaped to an attractive degree. When one saw him (peace and blessings be upon him), the onlooker would think (because of the natural darkness and beauty of his eyes) that his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes were lined with kohl, though they had not (actually) been lined with kohl. And his (peace and blessings be upon him) laughter was only to the extent of a smile."
