Description:

The Shama'il of al-Imam al-Tirmidhi is one of the most extensive and celebrated works on the description and attributes of the Messenger of Allah. The 415 narrations were carefully selected by the great mu?addith to craft a vivid portrayal of the Prophet. 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 numerous classical and contemporary works. Some of the scholars from whom we have taken include: ?Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr, Ibn ?ajar al-?Asqalani, ?Ali al-Qari, al-Bajuri, Ibn ?ajar al-Haytami, Abu Bakr b. al-?Arabi, al-Nawawi, Ibn al-?Uthaymin, al-Ghazali, al-Qa?i ?Iyad, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Shawkani, Mu?ammad Amin al-Shanqi?i, Ibn ?Abd al-Barr, Ibn Rajab, al-Qas?allani, Ibn Kathir, ?Abd al-Ra?man al-Mubarakfuri, Ibn al-Jawzi, ?Abd al-Mu?sin al-?Abbad, al-Suyu?i, al-?afi? al-?Iraqi, al-?an?ani, Ibn Ba??al and others.

Ibn Kathir said,

“Scholars authored many titles on the description of the Prophet, some of which were dedicated books and some of which were chapters in books. From the best books authored about the description of the Prophet is the book of Abu ?Isa, Mu?ammad b. ?Isa al-Sulami al-Tirmidhi, known as al-Shama?il.” [al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah 8/385]

?Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr said,

“This blessed book is from the best and most beneficial books written about the character and description of the Prophet and its author made it such an excellent work through his structuring of it and the ?adiths he included therein. This is the reason why many scholars praise the book and consider it from the best books authored about this topic.”
