It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked my mother about the features of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: She was like the moon on the night of the full moon, or like the sun from which the clouds have cleared. She was fair-complexioned with a tinge of redness, her hair was black, and by Allah, she resembled the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than anyone, just as the poet said: "She is fair; when she stands, her hair trails (to the ground). She disappears within that hair (because of its length and thickness), for it is very dense and deep black. So amid that hair she seems (from the radiance of her face) like a shining day, and the hair over her is like a dark night."
