[12] \n Abu \u2018Abd Allah -asws was once asked: \u2018What is the meaning of \u2018Salam on the Rasool of Allah -saww \u2019 (offering him the greetings of peace)?\u2019 The Imam -asws said, \u2018When Allah -azwj Created His Nabi (the Holy Prophet -saww) , Wasi (Imam Ali -asws ), the daughter of His Nabi (Syeda Binte Rasool Allah -asws , and their two sons -asws , (Imams Hassan -asws and Hussain -asws ) and all \u2018A\u2019immah -asws (Leaders with Divine Authority), and their Shia (followers), He -azwj Made a \u2018Misaaq\u2019 (a promise) with them to exercise patience, establish good relations and live devotedly before Allah -azwj .
\n He -azwj Promised to give them the blessed land, the sacred sanctuary, to bring down to them the constructed house (al-Bayt al-Ma \u2018mur), to show them the raised ceiling (al-Saqf al-Marfu\u2018) and grant them -asws relief against their enemies. \n Also, Allah -azwj Grants them the earth that He -azwj will Change with peace and protect all that is therein for them -asws without any quarrels therein against the enemies and there will exist all that they -asws love.
\n The Rasool Allah -saww made a similar \u2018Misaaq\u2019 with all (12) Imams -asws and also from their -asws Shia . \u2018Offering to peace (Salam) to him is a mention of that promise and renewing it before Allah -azwj , so that perhaps He -azwj will allow that peace to take place soon for all of you with all that is therein.
[13] \n The Physical Appearance of The Holy Prophet -saww : \n The narrator says: Once I asked Imam Abu Ja\u2019far (our 5 th Imam – Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws ), \u2018Describe to me the (appearance of) the Rasool Allah -saww .\u2019 The Imam -asws said, \u2018The Holy Prophet -saww had a white reddish complexion, large sharp black and white eyes, the eyebrows almost joined, beautiful hands and feet as if gold molded to the form of his -saww fingers and toes and with clear shoulder bones.
When he -saww would turn to a person he did so with the whole of his body, due to kind and tender heartiness.\u00a0 His -saww neck was long and clear, his -saww nose almost touched the water when he -saww wanted to drink and when walking he -saww somehow leaned forward as if walking on a downward slope. No one similar to him -saww was seen as such before or after the Holy Rasool Allah -saww .
