Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Allah Almighty selected Kinana from the descendants of Sayyiduna Isma’il (peace be upon him), and from Kinana He selected Quraysh, and from Quraysh He selected Banu Hashim, and from Banu Hashim He selected me (Muhammad).”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Whatever I used to hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I would write it down with the intention of remembering it. The Quraysh stopped me from doing so and said: Do you write down everything, while the situation is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a human being who speaks in anger and in happiness? So I stopped writing, and when this (the statement of the Quraysh) was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pointed to his mouth with his finger and said:“Write! By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Nothing comes out from my mouth except the truth.”

Muhammad bin Umar Aslami, with his chains of narration, reports from several Companions, some of whose hadith words have become mixed with others, that they said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent our master Abdullah bin Hudhafah Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the six, to Khosrow to invite him to Islam and also wrote a letter. Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I delivered the letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to Khosrow, it was read to him, he took the letter and tore it into pieces. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this situation, he said: "O Allah! Tear his kingdom to pieces." Then Khosrow wrote a letter to Bazan, the governor of Yemen, that he should send two courageous men to the man of Hijaz (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) so that they may inform us of his reality. Bazan sent his chief secretary and another man with his letter. Both of them reached Madinah and gave Bazan's letter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He smiled and invited them to Islam. At that time, the flesh of their shoulders was trembling. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them: "Both of you go today, meet me tomorrow, I will inform you of my intention." When they came the next day, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Convey my message to your leader (Bazan) that last night my Lord killed his lord, Khosrow."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had thick hands and feet and a beautiful face. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had full arms and long eyelashes, and there was a wide space between his two shoulders. He would turn his whole body when facing someone and would turn his whole body when turning away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was neither ill-tempered nor foul-mouthed, and he did not make noise in the markets.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had such a white complexion as if he had been created from silver, and his hair was slightly curly.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would sleep, but his heart would remain awake.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."

Ata says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The eyes of the group of Prophets sleep, but their hearts do not sleep."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to tie a stone to his stomach because of hunger.
