> AN INSIGHT INTO HIS NOBLE CHARACTER, NATURE AND PHYSICAL FEATURES
>
> No written description of our beloved Prophet (sa) can ever do justice to
> his exceptional beauty. Lady Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be
> pleased with her, described him as being more handsome than Prophet Joseph
> for whom the wives of Pharaoh's ministers slit their hands on account of his
> handsome appearance. She said: "If the friends of Zulayka had seen the
> blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (sa) they would have cut their hearts
> instead of their hands!" A portion of Prophet Muhammad's inner beauty
> manifested itself externally and illuminated his very being. Kurtubi, a
> great scholar of Islam, said that if his entire beauty had been made
> manifest, it would have been impossible for anyone to look at him.
>
> SELF DESCRIPTION
>
> The Prophet (sa) said: "The prophets were shown to me. I saw Moses, peace be
> upon him, he had a slender body, like a man from the tribe of Shanuah. I saw
> Jesus, peace be upon him, from all those I have seen, he resembles Urwah the
> son of Masood. I saw Abraham, peace be upon him, and from all those I have
> seen I most resemble him .. "
>
> HIS FACE
>
> His complexion has been described as being somewhat delicately wheaten in
> color or whitish with a reddish tones. His face was luminous, almost round,
> but not round, and frequently compared to the beauty of the full moon when
> it reached its zenith. He had a broad forehead and his eyebrows were
> separate and thick with densely fine hair. When the Prophet (sa) became
> displeased a vein between his eyebrows became enlarged. His eyes were jet
> black and his eyelashes long, mascared with kohl made from ithmid that he
> applied thrice to each eye before sleeping. Our Prophet (sa) tells us that:
> "... kohl made from ithmid used on the eye brightens the eyesight. Also, it
> strengthens and increases the growth of the eye lashes." His companions said
> that even when he did not use kohl, his eyes looked as if he had. His nose
> was prominently distinguished. His cheeks were smooth and well covered
> whilst his proportionally perfect mouth was neither large nor yet small. His
> teeth were bright, slim and evenly spaced, however, the space between his
> front teeth was slightly larger. As for the thickness of his beard, it was
> dense. His hair was slightly wavy, sometimes it was cut short and at other
> times he wore it nearly shoulder length. When his hair had the tendency to
> part itself in the middle he wore it that way, otherwise he did not dress it
> in that fashion. His habit was to use oil on his hair and so as not to soil
> his turban he would place a piece of cloth between it and his hair. When he
> went on pilgrimage to Mecca , he would shave his hair. The Prophet (sa) would
> dress his hair and his beard using his right hand. It was not his practice
> to dress his hair every day, in fact, he prohibited it, unless there was a
> valid reason, and would dress his hair every third day. In later life, the
> Prophet had several silver hairs on his temples. It has been reported that
> they ranged between fourteen and twenty. The accuracy of these reports is
> equally valid as they came over a period of time. One day, when Abu Bakr
> first noticed the silver hairs, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have
> become old," whereupon the Prophet (sa) said: "The recitation of the
> chapters Hud, Waaki'ah, Mursalaat, 'Amma and Kukkirah have made me old." It
> was the practice of elderly men to dye their hair before they went off to
> fight to disguise their age. According to the Shafii and Hanafi schools of
> jurisprudence, the Prophet (sa) either forbade or disapproved the use of a
> completely black dye except in war but permitted the use of henna, which is
> a reddish dye, and approved its mixing with katm, which is a black dye
> extracted from a certain grass. However, the katm must be used in a lesser
> quantity in order that the hair does not become totally black, rather, a
> darker tone of red.
>
> HIS NECK, SHOULDERS, SEAL AND TORSO
>
> The Prophet (sa) had well-covered broad shoulders and between them lay the
> Seal of his prophethood. The seal was a piece of raised flesh approximately
> the size of a pigeon's egg surrounded by hair. Between his broad chest and
> navel grew a fine line of hair, as for his bones they were large and well
> proportioned. He was a man of medium stature, neither thin nor fat.
>
> HIS FEET
>
> The soles of his feet were fully fleshed whereas his heels were slim.
>
> HIS MANNER OF WALKING
>
> The Prophet's walk is described in the hadiths as being "Yatakaffaoo". The
> scholars of Islam interpret this word in three ways. There are those who are
> of the opinion that it means he walked at a fast pace, whilst others say it
> means he leaned forward a little as he walked; the third opinion is that he
> lifted his leg forcefully. We also learn from the hadiths that he walked
> quickly and took longer strides rather than short ones. We do know that he
> never walked haughtily with his chest puffed out with pride, nor did he
> scuff his feet as he walked. When walking with his companions he always
> asked them to walk in front of him on account of his modesty. When he was on
> a journey he rode at the back so that he could be with the weak or bereaved.
> Whenever he met someone, he was always the first person to greet with peace.
>
> HIS MANNER OF LOOKING
>
> A hadith informs us that it was his custom to always look down towards the
> ground, and another says that he gazed up towards the sky. The hadiths do no
> contradict one another as the Prophet (sa) in day-to-day affairs, modestly
> looked towards the ground whereas when he awaited a Revelation he would look
> towards to sky. He never stared at anything.
>
> HIS HEIGHT
>
> It has been reported that he was a little taller than the average man,
> however, when he was amongst tall people his height was miraculous altered
> so that he became taller than those in his company.
>
> HIS AGE
>
> There are authentic hadiths that differ concerning his age. However, the
> scholars of Islam are of the opinion that this difference arose on account
> of some companions not counting the year he was born and the year he died.
> The consensus is that he was sixty-three years old when he was laid to rest.
>
> HIS BATHING
>
> None of the wives of the Prophet (sa) and his family, saw his private parts,
> neither did he see theirs.
>
> HIS MANNER OF COMMUNICATION
>
> When the Prophet (sa) spoke to anyone, he would not just turn his face in
> order to converse, rather, he would either turn his whole body towards that
> person, or turn his face and torso in order to speak to the person directly;
> he was not proud man. It was not his practice to glance to the side when he
> spoke with anyone. His speech was deliberate and clear so that those sitting
> in his blessed company would remember what he said. When he wished to stress
> a point, he would repeat it three times. It was not his custom to indulge in
> frivolous talk.
>
> HIS MANNER OF LEANING
>
> It has been reported that the Prophet (sa) would lean against a pillow
> placed on his left side, however, he never leaned against anything whilst
> eating. During his last illness, Fadl entered his room and found him wearing
> a yellow band around his forehead. After they had exchanged greetings he
> asked Fadl to tighten the band around his noble head, which he did. Then, he
> sat up and stood up supporting himself on Fadl's shoulder and entered the
> Mosque. When the Messenger of Allah (sa) he would rest his head against one
> of his wives or companions. When he passed away, his head rested upon Lady
> Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her.
>
> HIS MANNER OF EATING AND DRINKING
>
> He ate with his right hand and would lick his fingers. Sometimes he used
> three fingers, at other time five. He never ate food from a table, nor a
> small plate, nor did he eat pita type bread. He ate from a leather cloth and
> did not cut his meat with a knife, rather, he would bite off a piece and
> chew it. The Messenger of Allah (sa) drank from a large wooden cup with a
> metal lining. He also drank from a water-skin with a cleaned spout. When the
> Prophet (sa) drank from the water of Zamzam, he stood. However, on most
> occasions he sat. He advocated drinking in smallish sips rather than gulping
> down all at once. This blessed advice not to drink in one gulp is now proven
> to be detrimental to the liver and stomach.
>
> HIS BREAD AND FOOD
>
> His bread was made from stone ground barley flour which has a coarse
> texture. A sieve was never used to refine the flour therefore large
> particles of grain often remained which were extracted. As for the quantity
> of bread, there was never sufficient bread in his household with which to
> fill his stomach. Many a night he and his family went to bed without having
> eaten because there was no food. It was the custom of the Holy Family to
> give away their food to those in need, seeking a reward from Allah, the Most
> High. He advocated the use of olive oil not only for cooking but for
> massage. He also used vinegar and would eat the meat of fowl. He ate honey,
> the meat of goat and lamb with a preference for the meat of a shoulder of
> lamb. Amongst the other things he ate were dates. One day the Prophet (sa)
> found some dates that had fallen on the ground. He told his companions he
> would have eaten them if he could have been sure they were not originally
> intended to be given in charity, for it is forbidden that he or his family
> should eat from charity. He also ate cucumber and water melon with dates.
> Dates were also soaked in water to provide a sweet drink, however, they were
> never left long enough to ferment. The Prophet (sa) would drink water and
> milk. Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said that he liked a drink
> that was cold and sweet. When he was given milk he would supplicate saying:
> "O Allah, grant us blessing in it and increase it for us." He also told his
> companions that there is nothing that serves both as food and water other
> than milk. It was the custom of the Prophet (sa) to feed his companions
> before he himself ate.
>
> HIS MANNER BEFORE AND AFTER EATING
>
> The Prophet (sa) always said: "Bismillah" before he started to eat. One day
> as he and his companions were eating a hungry man joined them and forgot to
> say Bismillah, as he was about to take the last bite he remembered and said:
> "Bismillah in its beginning at end", whereupon the Prophet (sa) informed
> that until that point satan, the stoned and cursed, had been eating with
> him, but when he heard him say this he vomited all that he had eaten. One
> day Omar, Abi Salamah's son entered while food was being served. The Prophet
> (sa) invited him to sit down and told him: "O my son, come near and recite
> Bismillah and eat with your right hand from the portion which is in front of
> you." He also told his companions to use their right hand alone to eat and
> drink with as satan eats and drinks with his left hand. After he finished
> eating he would thank Allah saying: "Praise be to Allah who fed us, and
> given us drink, and made us Muslims."
>
> HIS SLEEPING
>
> Each night before he slept, the Prophet (sa) would lay down on his right
> side and supplicate: "O Allah, In Your Name I live and die." When he awoke
> he would supplicate: "Praise be to Allah, who restored to us life, having
> caused us to die and to Him shall be the Resurrection." Lady Ayesha, may
> Allah be pleased with her, reported that before he slept he would cup his
> hands together, blow on them then recite the chapters Al Ikhlas, Al Falak,
> and An Naas then wipe his hands over the parts of his body he could reach,
> this he did three times starting with the head, then his face, followed by
> the front part of his body.
>
> HIS WEEPING
>
> As previously explained, everything our beloved Prophet (sa) did was out of
> humility, sincerity and love of Allah as well as seeking mercy for us. His
> crying was the same. One day Abdullah, the son of Masood, was asked by the
> Prophet (sa) to recite some of the Koran to him, whereupon Abdullah asked,
> "O Messenger of Allah (sa) should I recite it to you when it has been sent
> down to you?" The Prophet (sa) said, "I love to hear it from another
> person." So Abdullah started to recite the chapter "Nisa" When he reached
> the verse 41 "How then shall it be when We bring forward from every nation a
> witness, and bring you (Prophet Muhammad) to witness against those!" tears
> flowed from both the Prophet's eyes. Upon the death of one of the Prophet's
> daughters, Barakah, the longtime maid of the Prophet (sa) who was with him
> when his mother died, started to weep loudly. The Prophet (sa) drew her
> attention to it, for uncontrolled weeping is forbidden. Whereupon she said:
> "Do I not see you crying?" he replied: "That crying is not prohibited, it is
> a mercy from Allah." Then he said: "A Muslim is at peace at all times, even
> when his soul is being taken away, he is busy uttering the praise of Allah

Son of prophet Adam? I thought they traced it back as far as the prophet Ismaaeel.

You can read his genealogy in "Sealed Nectar"
