FAT AND DWARF? π€
According to the Hadith, The APPEARANCE of Muhammad is Unthinkable, Matchless π£
Hadith:
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith #5791
Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
When Ali DESCRIBED the Prophet (peace be upon him) he said: πHe was neither very tall nor EXCESSIVELY SHORT, but was a man of MEDIUM SIZE.π
He had neither very curly nor flowing hair but a mixture of both. He was not obese, he did not have a very round face, but it was so to some extent.
πHe was REDDISH-WHITE, he had WIDE black eyes and LONG eyelashes.π
He had protruding joints and shoulder-
blades, he was not hairy but had some hair on his chest, and the palms of his hands and his feet were calloused.
When he walked he raised his feet as though he were walking on a slope; when he turned round he turned completely.
BETWEEN HIS SHOULDERS WAS THE SEAL OF PROPHECY and he was the seal of the prophets.
He had a finer chest THAN ANYONE ELSE, was TRUER IN UTTERANCE THAN ANYONE ELSE, had the GENTLEST NATURE and the noblest tribe.
Those who saw him SUDDENLY STOOD IN AWE OF HIM and those who shared his acquaintanceship LOVED him.
πThose who described him said they had NEVER SEEN ANYONE LIKE HIM BEFORE or SINCE.π
Tirmidhi transmitted it.
So therefore, according to this report, Muhammad was a man of MEDIUM SIZE and REDDISH-WHITE in Complexion etc...
Yet, according to another Hadith, Muhammad is described as being A FAT MAN AND DWARF π
Hadith:
Sunnah Abu Dawud Book 40, Number 4731
Narrated AbuBarzah:
AbdusSalam ibn AbuHazim AbuTalut said: I saw AbuBarzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me.
When Ubaydullah SAW him, he said: πThis Muhammad of yours is a DWARF and FAT. The old man (i.e. AbuBarzah) UNDERSTOOD IT. So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me FEEL ASHAMED of the company of Muhammad (peace be upon him).π
Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a HONOUR for you, not a DISGRACE. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioning anything about it? AbuBarzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.
Sunnah Abu Dawud Book 40, Number 4731
Comment:
By saying he "heard and understood it", it is saying that the DESCRIPTION WAS ACCURATE.
His only thought was that he did not want to be around those who made him feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad.
If the description was NOT accurate, he would have OBJECTED or thought "these people have no idea what they're talking about".
My Questions
1. How can Muhammad be described as a FAT AND DWARF in one Hadith and in another Hadith, described as a MEDIUM Size?
Please explain... π
2. According to the Quran
When they SEE Muhammad, they LAUGH at him, MOCK him (Q. 25:41, Q. 21:36) π
And
Muhammad even MARVELED when they MOCKED him
Q. 37:11-15
The Question is
If Muhammad was a man of MEDIUM SIZE
Why would they MOCK him and Why was he described as being a FAT AND DWARF in another Hadith? π
3. Allah told Muhamad that ALL the
Messengers who came before him were MOCKED
(Q. 13:32, 15:10-11, 21:41, 36:30, 43:6-7, 6:10)π
But
Muhammad did NOT forgive some of his very companions who MOCKED
(Q. 9:65-66) ...
WHY DIDN'T MUHAMMAD FORGIVE HIS COMPANIONS WHO MOCKED?
4. According to Muhammad in Surah 94:4, Allah said he created Man in the BEST OF STATURE
The Question is
Why are some people Handicapped having defects?
The Man in the verse, is it in reference to Adam or to ALL of Mankind?
If Adam, why was he made 90fts and we are not?
Why Muhammad is a FAT AND DWARF and yet he is described as the BEST OF CREATION? π
