Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَائَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم رَجُلا مَرْبُوعًا بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْکِبَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الْجُمَّةِ إِلَی شَحْمَةِ أُذُنَيْهِ الْيُسْرَی۔

شمائل ترمزی (حدیث 03)

Translation

Abu Ishaq reports that he heard Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib رضي الله عنه say: The Holy Prophet ﷺ was of medium height. There was a noticeable space between his shoulders, meaning his blessed chest was broad and expansive.

Narration

Hujjat-ul-Islam Hazrat Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Muhammad Ghazali رحمۃ اللہ علیہ writes: The blessed chest of our Beloved Prophet ﷺ was broad. No part of its flesh overlapped another; rather, it was as even as glass and as white as the moon. From the upper part of his blessed chest to his navel, there was a fine line of hair, like a thread. Other than this, there was no hair on his pure chest and blessed abdomen. Ismail Nabahani رحمۃ اللہ علیہ says: It is narrated that the blessed abdomen and chest of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ were equal. Neither the blessed abdomen was higher than the blessed chest, nor was the blessed chest higher than the blessed abdomen. Sayyidatuna Bibi Umm Hani رضي الله عنها says that she saw the blessed abdomen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as if they were papers placed one upon another and folded. 'A world of kings and barley bread for sustenance.'
