The Shama’il of Imām al-Tirmidhī is one of the most
extensive and celebrated works on the description and attributes of the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The 415 narrations were carefully selected by the
great muhaddith to craft a vivid depiction of the Prophet (PBUH). Through this,
a portrait of his blessed physical appearance, habits, worship, daily routine,
spirituality and much more is painted by those most beloved to him: his noble
companions and family members.
To aid the reader in extracting the
maximum beauty and wisdom from the narrations, we have carefully selected
explanatory gems from over forty classical and contemporary works. Some of the
scholars from whom we have taken include: Abdul Razzaq al-Badr, Ibn Hajar
al-Asqalanī, Alī al-Qārī, Al-Bajūrī, Ibn Hajar al-Haytamī, Abū Bakr ibn
al-‘Arabī , Al-Nawawī, Ibn al-Uthaymīn, Al-Ghazālī, Qadī ‘Iyyād, Ibn Taymiyyah,
Ibn al-Qayyim, Al-Shawkānī, Muhammad Amīn al-Shanqītī, Ibn Abdul Barr, Ibn
Rajab, Al-Qastalanī, Ibn Kathīr, Abdul Rahman al-Mubarakfūrī, Abū Hafs
al-Sūhrawardī, Ibn al-Jawzī, Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad, Al-Suyūtī, Hafith al-Iraqī,
Al-San’anī, Ibn Battal, Nasiruddīn al-Albānī and many more.
Ibn Kathīr said, “Scholars authored
many titles on the depiction of the Prophet (SAWS), some of which were dedicated
books and some of which were chapters in books. From the best books authored
about the depiction of the Prophet (PBUH) is the book of Abū 'Īsa, Muhammad ibn
'Īsa al-Sulamī al-Tirmidhi, known as al-Shama'il.” [Al -Bidaya wal Nihayah
8/385]
Abdul Razzaq al-Badr said,
"This blessed book is from the best and most beneficial books written
about the character and depiction of the Prophet (PBUH) and its author made it
such an excellent work through his structuring of it and the hadiths he
included therein. This is the reason why many scholars praise the book and
consider it from the best books authored about this topic."
