Khasa’il (Commentary of Shamaail)

Imam Tirmidhī’s Ash-Shamā’il al-Muḥammadiyyah is a distinguished compilation of ḥadīth that detail the noble features, exalted attributes, and exemplary qualities of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Over the centuries, numerous scholars have written commentaries on this work, and among them, the great ḥadīth scholar Shaykh al-Ḥadīth Mawlana Muḥammad Zakariyyā Kandhlawī Sahib produced an invaluable Urdu commentary titled Khaṣā’il Nabawiyyah-a work that continues to benefit both scholars and general readers alike.

Through clear, coherent, and accessible exposition, it illuminates his blessed lifestyle, perfect character, habits, manners, ethics, and acts of worship, providing both inspiration and guidance for those seeking to understand and emulate his exemplary way of life.
