حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَوَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم فِي لَيْلَةٍ إِضْحِيَانٍ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَائُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَی الْقَمَرِ فَلَهُوَ عِنْدِي أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْقَمَرِ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 9
It is related from Jaabir (Radiallahu anhu) that he said: " I once saw Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) on the night of a full moon. On that night he wore red clothing. At times I looked at the full moon and at times at Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) . Ultimately I came to the conclusion that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) was more handsome, beautiful and more radiant than the full moon."
