The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, ”The religion is based on cleanliness."
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was blessed by Allah with the extra special quality of being free from all forms of uncleanliness and bodily defects.These qualities were special for him and no one else has ever been privileged with such qualities.When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was born he was already circumcised and his umbilical cord cut. His mother Lady Amina, peace be upon her, tells us, "He was clean when he was born and there was no trace of impurity upon him."
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was adorned with the sweetest of fragrances, as was his perspiration. Anas commented, "I have never smelled amber, musk or any other (perfume) more fragrant than the aroma of the Messenger of Allah."
One day the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, touched the cheek of Jabir, Samura's son and Jabir said, "I felt a cool sensation and his hand was fragrant, it was as if he had withdrawn it from a sachet of perfume. Jabir also said, "When the Prophet walked down a road, anyone who happened to pass along the same road knew he had been there on account of his fragrance."
On another occasion Jabir rode behind the Prophet, praise and peace be upon Him, and put his mouth upon the seal of his prophecy between his shoulders and its fragrance spread over him like musk. It was also reported that even if he had perfumed his hand or not, if he shook the hand of a man the fragrance would remain for the rest of the day. When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, placed his hand on the head of a child,the child was recognizable from amongst other children by its fragrance.The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, visited the house of Anas and fell asleep on a rug and perspired. When Anas's mother noticed the perspiration she fetched a long necked bottle into which she collected the drops of perspiration. Later, the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, inquired about it, whereupon she replied, "We mixed it with our perfume and it is the most fragrant of scents."
Even when the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, relieved himself, it is reported that the earth would split open and swallow his discharge and there remained a fragrant aroma.Lady Ayesha, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, said to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, "When you return after relieving yourself, there is nothing offensive about you." He replied, "O Ayesha, don't you know that the earth swallows up what is discharged from the prophets so that nothing is seen?"
When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, passed away, Imam Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, washed his body and said, "I washed the Prophet, and looked for the normal discharge from a deceased person but found nothing, whereupon I said, 'You were pure during your life and pure in death.'"
He added, "A sweet aroma exuded from him, the like of which I have never experienced."
Upon kissing the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, after his death, Abu Bakr also mentioned the sweetness of his aroma.On the day of Uhud the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, suffered a slight injury, whereupon he permitted Malik Sinan's son to remove the blood which he then swallowed. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told him, "The Fire will not touch you."
On another occasion, the Prophet's blood was cupped, whereupon Abdullah,Zubair's son swallowed it. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, did not object to what he had done but said, "Woe to you from the people and woe to the people from you."
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, kept a wooden bowl under his bed in which, if he felt the need, he could urinate during the night. One night a lady by the name of Baraka, (scholars differ whether or not she is the same Baraka who served the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him), felt thirsty and upon seeing the cup drank the urine without knowing. There were also similar ocurrences in which his urine was drunk, when the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, learned of it he did not order the washing of their mouth nor did he forbid them to do it again. One should understand that when ordinary people drink water it cleanses them, so their output is unclean. In the case of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, the liquid that left his body was clean, because he was pure in both body and physic therefore whatever came from his bodily was pure and contained the effect of blessings, therefore due to this, the output from his body was sweeter and the drinker did not taste any urine as they would do so with anyone else. On several occasions the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told his Companions "Allah feeds me and gives me to drink."
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, "I never saw the private parts of the Messenger of Allah", praise and peace be upon him.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, asked Imam Ali to ensure that no one other than himself should wash him (his covered body after his death). He told him, "No one has ever seen me naked, and if it were to happen he would become blind."
Abbas' son said that as the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, slept he heard him breathing deeply. He woke up to pray but did not make ablution.Ikrima said, "That was because he was protected by Allah and when he slept his eyes were closed but his heart and internal being were not in the status of sleep,therefore he would make ablution only when it was needed. The Prophet,praise and peace be upon him, said, "My eyes sleep but my heart does not."
