I was granted the honor of being present in the blessed court of the Cause of Creation, Sayyiduna Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and was blessed with the privilege of kissing the sacred feet of prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I was graced with the fortune of placing the noble feet of Allah’s Beloved ﷺ upon my eyes and kissing them with trembling lips. The flesh beneath the toes, my eyes remained placed upon it for a long time. As long as this act continued, waves of light (nūr) kept transmitting into me through my eyes, and I kept benefiting from the pleasure of delight and ecstasy.
A thought arose in the heart that I must attentively observe the sacred form of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, so that I may witness the Mohr-e-Nubuwwat (Seal of Prophethood). This speck of dust beneath the feet of the slaves of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ became so immersed in the sacred and pure and honored being, that I forgot myself. In the state of ecstasy and spiritual awareness, I found myself standing behind the blessed back of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and, with utmost adab and devotion, I lifted the blessed shirt of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This faqeer was shown the Mohr-e-Nubuwwat (Seal of Prophethood) by Allah Almighty.
The Mohr-e-Nubuwwat (Seal of Prophethood) of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, was between the right shoulder and the neck, on the blessed back, a round mark. Within that circle, the flesh or skin was red in color, and slightly raised above the general level of the body. Inside the circle, there were extremely fine and soft hair like delicate feathers. Their color was white-brown. These hairs were so elegant and beautiful that words cannot express them. The diameter of the circle was approximately equal to a rupee (coin).
Having seen the Mohr-e-Nubuwwat (Seal of Prophethood), I kissed it in a state of love-struck devotion and touched it with my eyes.
The Back
The blessed back of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was straight and broad. The shoulders were slightly raised.
The Head
The blessed head was round and large. The forehead was broad and majestic. One could not gaze fully; when the eyes attempted to rise, the eyelids would fall, and the head would bow in submission.
The Beloved of Allah ﷺ had sacred hair that was dense and strong, black in color, with such wondrous shine that I had never seen before.
The complexion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was radiant wheatish. The eyebrows were dense and joined together.
The Eyes
The eyes were luminous and large, neither too big nor too small. They were beautiful beyond comparison.
The white of the eye gleamed brightly, while the iris was black with a blue depth. Around the iris, veins appeared like rays bursting from the sun, as though these rays traveled directly to the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty.
In the white of the eye, there was the shine of pure pearls. In the blue depth of the iris, the sparkle of true pearls was evident.
The eyelashes of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were dense and black. When the blessed lashes blinked, there was a tremor in the atmosphere. While blinking, I felt a current-like flow running through me.
The Nose
The blessed nose was long and broad at the base. Looking at it, the image of a bouquet came to mind.
The Mouth
The upper lip was thin, and the lower lip was slightly fuller. The mouth was large and extremely beautiful.
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke, the thought arose that Allah Almighty Himself was speaking.
As for the voice, I cannot describe it, for my mind did not retain it.
The Beard
The beard of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was dense, round, and short, about half a fist in length. It was fine and close-knit to the blessed face.
The Chest and Neck
The blessed neck was full and somewhat long, neither too long nor too short.
The blessed chest was prominent. From the chest to the navel there was a long line of hair, appearing like the shape of the Arabic letter Alif.
The Blessed Feet
The calves were fleshy, but the area above the ankle was slim and perfectly straight.
The top part of the blessed feet was slightly raised, noticeable at first glance. Because of this, there was a visible space beneath the soles.
I lay on the ground and observed that if a person lies at the feet of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while he is standing, one can see across beneath the soles of the blessed feet.
The Teeth
The blessed teeth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were straight and prominent, with space between them.
The sparkle in the teeth was so bright it dazzled the gaze.
The smile was charming and heart-winning.
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ laughed, the teeth did not appear fully. When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ smiled, even the eyes smiled.
