The Shamaeil of al-Im?m al-Tirmidh? is one of the most extensive and celebrated works on the description and attributes of the Messenger of Allah. The 415 narrations were carefully selected by the great Muhaddith to craft a vivid portrayal of the Prophet. Through this, a portrait of his blessed physical appearance, habits, worship, daily routine, spirituality, and much more is painted by those most beloved to him: his noble companions and family members. To aid the reader in extracting the maximum beauty and wisdom from the narrations, we have carefully selected explanatory gems from numerous classical and contemporary works. Some of the scholars from whom we have taken include: Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Al? al-Q?r?, al-B?j?r?, Ibn Hajar al-Haytam?, Abo Bakr Ibn al-Arabi, al-Nawaw, Ibn al-Uthaymin, al-Ghazali, al-Qadi Iyad, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Shawkani, Muhammad Amin al-Shanqiti, Ibn Abd al-Barr, Ibn Rajab, al-Qastalani, Ibn Kathir, Abd al-Rahman Al-Mubarakfouri, Ibn al-Jawz, Abd al-Muhsin al-bardr,  and others. Ibn Kathir said: Scholars, authored many titles on the description of the Prophet, some of which were dedicated books and some of which were chapters in books. Of the best books authored about the description of the Prophet is the book of Ab? ??s?, Muhammad b. ??s? al-Sulam? al-Tirmidh?, known as al-Shama?il.? [al-Bid?yah wa al-Nih?yah 8/385] ?Abd al-Razz?q al-Badr said, ?This blessed book is from the best and most beneficial books written about the character and description of the Prophet and its author made it such an excellent work through his structuring of it and the ?ad?ths he included therein. This is the reason why many scholars praise the book and consider it from the best books authored about this topic.?
