I was sent only to perfect good morals 04

 

According to the narration of al-Hasan and al-Husayn (peace be upon them), from the book of Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Talaqani, through his trustworthy authorities, from al-Hasan ibn Ali (peace be upon him), who said:

I asked my maternal uncle, Hind ibn Abi Halah al-Tamimi,¹ who was skilled in description, about the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), for I greatly desired that he describe some of it to me so that I might hold fast to it.

He said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was imposing and greatly honored. His face shone with the radiance of the full moon on the night of its fullness. He was taller than a man of middling height, yet shorter than one who was very tall.² He had a large head and slightly wavy hair.³ If his hair parted, he would let it part; otherwise, when he wore it full, it did not go beyond the lobes of his ears. His complexion was bright, his forehead broad, and his eyebrows long and finely arched,⁴ with a slight connection between them without fully meeting. Between them was a vein that would swell when he became angry.

### Notes
1. **Hind ibn Abi Halah**: the maternal half-brother of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her). He was an eloquent man and was killed alongside Imam Ali (peace be upon him) on the Day of al-Jamal.
2. **al-Mushadhdhab**: a very tall and lanky person.
3. **Rajil al-shaʿr**: hair that is neither tightly curled nor completely straight, but in between.
4. **Azajj al-hawājib**: having long, fine, gracefully arched eyebrows.

If you want, I can continue with the **same style for the rest of the passage**, since this description of the Prophet is usually part of a longer narration.
