The ''Shamā'il Muhammadiyyah'' ("The Appearance of Muhammad"), often referred to as ''Shamā'il al-Tirmidhi'' or simply ''Shamā'il''), is a collection of hadiths compiled by the 9th-century scholar Tirmidhi regarding the intricate details of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's appearance, belongings, manners and life. The book contains 399 narrations from the successors of the Prophet which are divided into 56 chapters.〔ibn Isa (2011)〕 The best known and accepted of these hadith are attributed to Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali. Another well-known description is attributed to a woman named Umm Ma'bad. Other descriptions are attributed to Aisha, `Abd Allah ibn `Abbas, Abu Hurairah and Hasan ibn Ali. While ''shama'il'' lists the physical and spiritual characteristics of Muhammad in simple prose, in ''hilye'' these are written about in a literary style. Among other descriptive ''Shama'il'' text are the ''Dala'il al-Nubuwwah'' of Al-Bayhaqi, ''Tarih-i Isfahan'' of Abu Naeem Isfahani, ''Al-Wafa bi Fadha’il al-Mustafa'' of Abu'l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi and ''Al-Shifa'' of Qadi Ayyad are the main shemaa-il and hilya books.〔 An Urdu translation and commentary, ''Khasa'il-i Nabawi'' was written by Muhammad Zakariya al-Kandahlawi. An English translation and commentary, "A Commentary on the Depiction of Prophet Muhammad" was published in 2015. ==Content of descriptions== The description of Muhammad by Ali, according to Tirmidhi, is as follows: The description attributed by Umm Ma'bad goes as follows:〔 Muhammad's title as the "seal of the prophets" (; i.e. the last of them, as it were the "seal" closing God's communication to man) is taken from Ali's description, :"Between his two shoulders was the seal of prophethood, and he was the seal of the prophets" This "seal of prophethood" () between Muhammad's shoulders is given a closer description in other texts of the hadith, and it is given a dedicated discussion in ''Sahih Muslim''. It is depicted as a mole on the end of his left shoulder blade, in size compared to a pigeon's egg or an apple.〔 Sahih Muslim, trans. Abdul Hamid Siddiqui, "The Book Pertaining to the Excellent Qualities of the Holy Prophet (may Peace be upon them) and His Companions (Kitab Al-Fada'il)", (chapter 28 ): "the fact pertaining to the seal of his prophethood, its characteristic feature and its location on his body". See also Sam Shamoun, ( Muhammad and the Seal of Prophethood: A Sign or A Physical Deformity? )〕 A passage from ''Sunan Abu Dawood'' (32.4071), also collected in the ''Shama'il'', reports how one Qurrah ibn Iyas al-Muzani on the occasion of swearing allegiance to Muhammad put his hand inside his shirt to "feel the seal".〔"Narrated Qurrah ibn Iyas al-Muzani: I came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) with a company of Muzaynah and we swore allegiance to him. The buttons of his shirt were open. I swore allegiance to him and I put my hand inside the collar of his shirt and felt the seal." (online edition ). The original context is a discussion of the clothing, the point being made is that al-Muzani was able to put his hand inside the shirt's collar as Muhammad kept his collar open.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shama'il Muhammadiyah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
