Shamail Tirmidhi — Prophetic Characteristics Collection

Shamail Tirmidhi is a classical hadith collection compiled by Imam Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi (824–892 CE), dedicated entirely to documenting the blessed characteristics and noble qualities of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Unlike general hadith collections, Shamail focuses exclusively on the Prophet's ﷺ physical description, manner of speech, daily habits, worship practices, and moral character. It comprises approximately 400 hadiths organised across 55 chapters — from his blessed appearance and hair, to how he ate, laughed, walked, and prayed. Reading Shamail is considered a path to deepening love for the Prophet ﷺ. Browse the collection below in English and Urdu.
