Follwing are some of the best know couplets from the poetry of Hassan bin Thabit, a great poet of the Holy Prophet. Translated from Arabic Into English ‘I could not praise Muhammad with my words; rather, my words were made praiseworthy by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).’ `My eyes have not seen more beautiful person than you No women has given birth to a more beautiful person than you You have been created without any weakness and blemish As if you have been created as you wished to be created` `“When I saw his light shining forth, In fear I covered my eyes with my palms, Afraid for my sight because of the beauty of his form. So I was scarcely able to look at him at all. The lights from his light are drowned in his light and his face shines out like the sun and moon in one. A spirit of light lodged in a body like the moon, a mantle made up of brilliant shining stars. I bore it until I could bear it no longer. I found the taste of patience to be like bitter aloes. I could find no remedy to bring me relief other than delighting in the sight of the one I love. Even if he had not brought any clear signs with him, the sight of him would dispense with the need for them. Muhammad is a human being but not like other human beings. Rather he is a flawless diamond and the rest of mankind is just stones. Blessings be on him so that perhaps Allah may have mercy on us on that burning Day when the Fire is roaring forth its sparks.” Related by Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani [Allah bless his soul] in Jawahir al-Bihar: Beautiful poetry by the esteemed companion; Hazrat Hasan bin Thabit [Allah is pleased with him] in honour of the Messenger of Allah [upon him be infinite blessings, peace and salutations]
