Introduction
All paise be to Allah who alone sustains the world. Exalted salaah (blessings)
and complete salaam (peace) be on our master Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi
Wasallam and his family and companions.
The Shamaa-il of Imaam Abu 'Eesa Timidhi has a collection of 397 ahaadith
and is divided into 55 chapters on the physical description and character
of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. It has been printed on
numerous occasions and many commentaries have been written on it. The
present English translation and commentary is of the Khasaa-il Nabawi
Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam by the late Shaykhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad
Zakariyya Rahamatullahi 'Alayhi. It will enable a Muslim to achieve a link
and connection with the one whom Allah Ta'aala has made as a mercy unto
mankind, and most certainly Allah has spoken the truth when He mentions
in His Book:
"Verily, you (0 Muhammad) are of a very high (noble) character".
A Muslim can truly claim his love for Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam,
if he attempts to follow the manner and life-style of the messenger of
Islam. We are given such an opportunity, after the reading of this book,
for it enlightens the reader with the intimate aspect of Rasul Sallallahu
Alayhi Wasallam's life.
Finally, we ask, Allah Ta'aala to reward us and that He instill within
us the distinguished features and august character of this most Noble Messenger,
who is the perfect example for Muslims.
