Along with the physical characteristics of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the researcher also elaborates the pace, fragrance of his body and likewise distinct features of the final prophet (peace be upon him). This discussion is not only a refresher for the faith that revives the love and reverence of the Prophet (peace be upon him) but also reaffirms the distinguished knowledge and excellence of Syeda Ayesha. Particularly in the elaboration of physical features of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the students of ḥadīth and sīrah.
