16) Hadith Number 2
Jaabir bin Samurah (Radhiallahu Anhu reports that: "I saw the Seal
of Prophethood of Rasullullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) between
his two shoulders, which was like a red tumour (protruding flesh),
the size of which was like that of a pigeon's egg".
Commentary
There are various and different narrations regarding the size and
colour of the Seal of Prophethood of Sayyidina Rasullullah
(Sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Qurtubi has reconciled these by
sayimg that the size changed from time to time, as did the colour.
According to this humble servant, this reconciliation may also be
possible, that in reality all these are similarities, and every
similarity is according to a person's understanding, which is an
approximate state. There is no disagreement in explaining
approximates. This is a more appropriate explanation.
