الشمائل المحمدية مع الشرح

Explanation of the merits of Muhammadiyah by al-Tirmidhi
What distinguishes this version from others:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to God, by whose grace good deeds are accomplished, and prayers and peace be upon the master of Sadat, the Kaaba of the Waseelah, and the virtue of our master Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
I present to you a copy of this blessed book with a new version in terms of presentation and style, so I reduced the narrators’ font to make it easier for the reader to read the hadith. You can make the font larger or smaller via a scroll bar that you find at the top of each page.

It is worth noting that this copy is in accordance with the Dar Al-Hadith edition of the commentary and supervision of His Eminence Sheikh Izzat Obaid Al-Daas, may God have mercy on him, and he is one of the honorable scholars of the Levant, may God reward them on our behalf. Useful comments We ask God to accept the honor of Taha the Messenger ﷺ, Amen.

A note for clarification: you may find a difference in the total number of hadiths and the numbering of hadiths. For example, you may find in another version the number of hadiths is more. This does not mean that there is a lack of hadiths, but rather in the version that has an increase: he numbered another narration of the hadith or a statement following the previous hadith .
An example of this is in Hadith 393:
In this version of ours:
393- Muhammad bin Bashar told us, he said: We were told by Ibn Abi Uday and Muhammad bin Jaafar, they said: Awf bin Abi Jamila told us, on the authority of Yazid Al-Farsi - who was writing the Qur’an - he said:
I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, in a dream at the time of Ibn Abbas, he said: I said to Ibn Abbas: I saw the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, in sleep. Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of God, peace be upon him, used to say: “The devil cannot imitate me, so whoever sees me in sleep has seen me.” Can you describe this man you saw in sleep? He said: Yes, I describe to you a man between the two legs, his body and flesh is brown to white, the eyes are kohl, the laughter is good, the circles of the face are beautiful, his beard is filled between this and this. Ibn Abbas: If you had seen him while awake, you would not have been able to describe him above this.
Abu Issa said: “Yazid Al-Farsi is: Yazid bin Hormuz, and he is the oldest of Yazid Al-Raqashi. And Yazid Al-Raqashi, both of them are from the people of Basra, and Awf bin Abi Jamila is: Awf Al-Arabi.
Abu Dawud Suleiman bin Salm Al-Balkhi told us, he said: Al-Nadr bin Shamil told us, he said: Awf Al-Arabi said: “I am older than Qatadah.”

In other versions:
393- Muhammad bin Bashar told us, he said: We were told by Ibn Abi Uday and Muhammad bin Jaafar, they said: Awf bin Abi Jamila told us, on the authority of Yazid Al-Farsi - who was writing the Qur’an - he said:
I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, in a dream at the time of Ibn Abbas, he said: I said to Ibn Abbas: I saw the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, in sleep. Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of God, peace be upon him, used to say: “The devil cannot imitate me, so whoever sees me in sleep has seen me.” Can you describe this man you saw in sleep? He said: Yes, I describe to you a man between the two legs, his body and flesh is brown to white, the eyes are kohl, the laughter is good, the circles of the face are beautiful, his beard is filled between this and this. Ibn Abbas: If you had seen him while awake, you would not have been able to describe him above this.
Abu Issa said: “Yazid Al-Farsi is: Yazid bin Hormuz, and he is the oldest of Yazid Al-Raqashi. And Yazid Al-Raqashi, both of them are from the people of Basra, and Awf bin Abi Jamila is: Awf Al-Arabi.
394- Abu Dawood Suleiman bin Salim Al-Balkhi told us, he said: Al-Nadr bin Shamil told us, he said: Awf Al-Arabi said: “I am older than Qatadah.”

The difference: that our version did not count the last narration as a new hadith, and this is the most correct because the narration is related to what came before it, and this indicates that whoever added another number and considered the hadith as two hadiths did not read the chain of narration of the previous narration, and did the random numbering. -----------------
