Characteristics of the Prophet ﷺ

Hadith

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم مِنْ إِنَائٍ وَاحِدٍ وَکَانَ لَهُ شَعَرٌ فَوْقَ الْجُمَّةِ وَدُونَ الْوَفْرَةِ۔

شمائل ترمزی (حدیث 24)

Translation

Sayyidatuna Aisha رضي الله عنها said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I used to bathe from the same container (with a partition between us), and his blessed hair would fall slightly above his shoulders and somewhat below his ears.

Narration

The hair of the Dear, Beloved Prophet ﷺ was extremely beautiful and very handsome. It was neither completely straight nor very curly. When he ﷺ would comb it, it would appear like waves in the sand. It is narrated: The blessed locks of hair of the Leader of Madinah ﷺ would sometimes reach halfway down his blessed ears, sometimes to the earlobes, and sometimes, when they grew longer, they would sway and kiss his blessed shoulders. Sometimes he ﷺ would part his blessed hair into four sections, with each ear showing between two sections, and sometimes he would place his blessed hair over his ears, which would reveal his radiant neck. There were a total of 17 white hairs in his blessed head and beard.
