The aesthetics of the Prophetic biography: the smiling personality.
0:11
He captivates you from afar with a serene radiance that emerges from his smiles.
0:17
It illuminates like a shimmering moon, catching every eye and filling the spaces.
0:23
He is loved from the very first glance, and his fragrance is sensed in every direction.
0:30
He is the virtuous caller, the smiling believer, and the skilled hunter of hearts.
0:39
Just like the Messenger, peace be upon him, and those among his followers who walked his path.

Jarir ibn 'Abdullah al-Bajali, may Allah be pleased with him, says:
0:51
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, never denied me entry since I embraced Islam,
0:56
and he never saw me without smiling in my face."
1:01
This smile is the lawful magic, the magnetic messenger,
1:07
the pledge of affection, and the hallmark of the soul.
1:11
As the poet said: "I greet my guest with a smile before he even unloads his baggage,
1:17
and he finds abundance with me, even when the land is barren.
1:21
True abundance for guests is not found in the quantity of food provided,
1:26
but rather, it is the face of the generous host that is abundant."
1:30
It is an authentic hadith: "Your smiling in the face of your brother is a charity."
1:37
The opposite of this well-received personality
1:40
is the silent, frowning, and gloomy character,
1:44
like one who has just emerged from a hot oven,
1:47
as if he is in a dilemma or has been struck by a calamity.
1:52
Even when he speaks, he does so with a heavy demeanor;
1:55
he is deprived of this warmth and approachability.
1:58
He is not following the guidance of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:03
He paints upon his face a portrait of coldness and mourning,
2:07
as if he is in distress or his mind is preoccupied with worry and grief.
2:13
This is neither from the Sunnah nor from the attributes of the people of faith.
2:19
And peace.
2:21
From the aesthetics of the Prophetic biography.
