Shama'il Al Muhammadiyya ﷺ

Hadith 145: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Family would spend consecutive nights extremely hungry and would not find anything to eat for supper. The most common form of bread they would eat was barley bread

Hadith 141 : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would eat with his three blessed fingers and lick them

Hadith 71 : "We were with Abu Hurayra and he was wearing two linen garments dyed in red clay ( Mumash-shaq) . he blew his nose in one of them and then exclaimed 'Bakh, bakh!' Abu Hurayra now blows his nose with linen, yet by Allah, there was time when I would fall unconscious between the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Aisha's رضی اللہ عنھا chambers , such that a person would come and place his foot on my neck, I was thought to be insane but I wasn't . It was just because of hunger ! "

• Mumash-shaq is said to be a red clay used to dye clothing , or a dye that is dark brown with reddish-orange tinge.
• The phrase 'Bakh, bakh ' is an old Arabic expression of approval or astonishment, and is occasionally used ironically to denote disappointment or objection - which is how it I used here
• Mulla Ali Al-Qari says that at the time , people used to place a foot on the neck of a person suffering an epileptic fit in order to stop him from moving during the seizure.
• This narration provides insight into the life of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم by demonstrating how the Companions lived. In this narration , Abu Hurayra رضي الله عنه‎ was from the Ahl al-Suffa, the people of the Bench who lived in the Mosque of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم in Medina and who were the guests of Islam. They did not have any wealth or family on whom they could rely . The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم looked after them , and if any charity came to him he sent it to them immediately without taking from it. If a gift came to him he would share it with them as well.

Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Kathir and others recorded that a Meccan man named Rukana was very strong and skilled in wrestling. people would come from great distances to challenge him, yet he would defeat them all.
One day, as Rukana was in the mountain ravines of Mecca, he encountered The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم
who said to him , 'O Rukana! Why do you not fear Allah and accept that to which I invite you?'
Rukana said , 'Muhammad, is there a corroborating proof that will show that you are truthful ?'
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم said, ' What if I throw you down -- will you believe in Allah and His Messenger ?'
Rukana replied ' I will Muhammad!'
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم said 'Ready yourself for a wrestling match.'
Rukana responded, 'I am ready.'
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم then neared Rukana deftly got hold of him and threw to the ground.
Shocked, Rukana asked The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم to absolve him of his agreement [ to believe in Allah and his Messenger if defeated ] and asked for a rematch.
They had a second rematch,
and then a third;
Rukana was thrown down each time, After the third defeat, Rukana stood up and said, ' You are amazing!'
