Brief Explanation
Explanation: -
There are clear differences between the faces of righteous and wicked people. Outward beauty and ugliness are one thing, while the radiance (nurani) or lack thereof on the face is another matter. People of sound nature can often discern, by looking at others’ faces, whether they are righteous or wicked, Muslim or non-Muslim. (Ahadith Sahihah 91/2)
