the most beautiful hands in the world..

[ahmedabad]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Physically, the hands of the Noble Prophet, may Allah's blessing and peace be upon him, were as beautiful and pleasing to gaze upon as everything else about him. They were white and fleshy, with slightly tapering fingers. His boy-servant, Anas ibn Mâlik, said on more than one occasion, "I have never touched any silk or brocade that is softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, nor have I ever smelled musk or scent more fragrant than the fragrance of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him." [3]

Wâ'il ibn Hajar said, "Whenever I shook hands with the Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, or my skin touched his skin, I smelled the scent of musk on my hand for three days." [4]

Another Companion, 'Umayra daughter of Sahl, also a child at the time, recounted how her father once took her to the Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, asking him to touch her head and pray for both of them for baraka, since she was his only child. "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, placed his hands on my head. I swear by Allah that I could feel the coolness of the hand of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, in my liver!" [5]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Alhamdolillah, also from Majma' al-Zawa'id;

The famous Follower, Thâbit al-Bunânî, Anas ibn Mâlik's student, said, "Whenever I visited Anas, they told him I was there, he came to me, and I took both his hands and kissed them saying, "My father be the ransom of these hands that have touched the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him!" and I kissed his eyes saying, "My father be the ransom of these eyes which have seen the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him!"

Subhan Allah.
An excellent thread brother Ahmedebad,

Not only were our Beloved Prophet Sayedina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) hands beautiful but they performed countless miracle's, here is one when Our beloved Prophet Sayedina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) held out his hand and water ran through his fingers and many Sahaba's thrist was quenched ?


This Miracle happened when the Muslims were in battles with the non-believers, and water had run out.
Our Beloved Prophet Sayedina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) dipped His Blessed, Beautiful Hands in to what was left of the water which was a drop. The water started to flow from between His fingers and into the receptacle. It continued to flow until he took His Blessed fingers out. It is said that between 300 and 1500 people drank from that receptacle.

In the Tabuk war it is said that over 70,000 people and animals drank from that same receptacle.

Those who knew that Noblest Pedigree
Said Big hand was the great Nabi.
Each of his limbs, which were so blessed,
Suited by creation, wherein firmness was stressed.
The palms of that stately being
Were wide, pure, fine, and darling
So elegant, the connoisseurs expressed,
Were those miraculous hands, and so blessed

The above is taken from the Beautiful Hilya describing our beloved Prophet's (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) hands.

"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, placed his hands on my head. I swear by Allah that I could feel the coolness of the hand of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, in my liver!"

AllahuAkbar!! Subhanallah. What a beautiful hadith. May the Blessed Hand of Allahs Greatest and most Beloved Messenger be upon us all, be the coolness of our eyes, liver, heart, mind and soul, in this world, in our graves, on the day of reckoning and the hereafter.

These are the very hands that upon which when the Noble Companions did bayt Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) declared Oh My Beloved Tis the Hand of Allah where the Companions are giving their oath of alegiance. (Yadullahi Fawka ai dihim....)
The same hand that threw the tiny stones on the disbelievers The Almighty declared Oh my Beloved you did not throw though you threw the stones tis was the throwing of the Lord (Ma ramai iz ramaite wa ma kinallaha Rama....).
May Allah forgive my errors.

The word 'hand' when described for Allah should not be taken literally.

Just want to add that its sunnah to kiss the hands as well as feet of a respected shaykh or scholar. Heres a hadith ont he topic.

Hazrat Burayda (Radi Allahu anhu) said: When we were with Allah's Messenger on an expedition, a Bedouin came and asked for a miracle. The Prophet pointed at a tree and said to the Bedouin: "Tell that tree: Allah's Messenger summons you." The Beduin did, whereupon the tree swayed and brought itself out, and came to the presence of the Prophet saying: "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah!" The Bedouin said: "Now let it return to its place!" When Allah's Messenger ordered it, the tree went back. The Bedouin said: "let me prostrate to you!" The Messenger answered: "If I commanded anyone to do that, I would command the wife to prostrate to her husband." The Bedouin said: "Then give me permission to kiss your hands and feet." The Prophet gave him permission.

Qadi `Iyad narrated it in al-Shifa' (1:299) and al-Bazzar in his Musnad (3:49). The editor of Suyuti's Manahil al-safa (p. 124 #575) said: See Kashf al-astar (3:132). Ghazali cites the account of the kiss in the Ihya' and al-Hakim in the Mustadrak as well as Ibn Muqri'. Both al-Hakim and al-`Iraqi declared its chain authentic (sahih), as stated by al-Zabidi in his Ithaf (6:280) while Dhahabi declared it weak. However, Ibn Hajar included the hadith of Burayda among Ibn al-Muqri's good narrations (min jayyidiha) on the subject of kissing the hand, and Qadi `Iyad also mentions a similar narration from Ibn `Umar which Suyuti said was narrated by Darimi, Bayhaqi, and al-Bazzar with a sound chain. Qadi `Iyad said the hadith of the tree's uprooting and coming to the Prophet is also narrated by Jabir, Ibn Mas`id, Ya`la ibn Murra, Usama ibn Zayd, Anas ibn Malik, `Ali ibn Abi Talib, Ibn `Abbas, and others who all agreed on the same account and so did the Tabi`in who related it.

Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) said: "Above every knowledgeable one there is one with more knowledge" (12:76). Respect for the people of knowledge in Islam, the `ulama and shaykhs, is based upon the recognition that they stand above us by virtue of their effort (ijtihad) and renunciation of worldly pursuits (zuhd) towards the acquisition of the Highest Knowledge (al-`ilm). The above verse shows that there are innumerable ranks and levels of knowledge in the sight of Allah.
