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 7458 — the blessed shins of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ فِي سَاقَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حُمُوشَةٌ ، وَكَانَ لَا يَضْحَكُ إِلَّا تَبَسُّمًا ، وَكَانَ إِذَا نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتَ : أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ، وَلَيْسَ بِأَكْحَلَ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that "the blessed shins of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were somewhat slender (in flesh), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) laughter was only to the extent of a smile, and when one looked at him (peace and blessings be upon him), the onlooker would think that his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes were lined with kohl (naturally darkened), though in fact he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not applied kohl."
