His mouth was large, his cheeks seamlessly even, and his front teeth wide, and when he would speak, these teeth would shine. As narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, “Surroundings would light up whenever he smiled.”[2]
The saliva of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was a cure for wounds and illnesses. This very saliva was placed in the eyes of Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم on the day Khaybar was conquered, granting them immediate recovery.

Sayyiduna Rifa’ah bin Rafi’ رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ mentions:

In the entirety of creation, there is nobody more eloquent in speech. His speech was so clear, those around him would commit it to memory easily.[4]
