Abdul Razzaq al-Badr said,
The walking of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in compliance with the guidance of the ayah: {And be moderate in your pace…}[142]
123. Abū Hurairah narrated: “I have not seen anything more handsome than the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him). It was as if the brightness of the sun shone from his face. I have not seen anyone walk faster than him. It was as if the earth would fold up for him; we found it difficult to keep up the pace when we walked with him, yet he walked at his normal pace.” [143]
Abdul Razzaq al-Badr said,
Abū Hurairah intentionally used the word “anything” to include everything, meaning that his beauty excelled the beauty of everything that a person can see such as the sun, nature, the moon, and anything that is described as beautiful.
The fast pace indicates that he possessed strong stamina.
Al-Bajūrī said,
The reason that Abū Hurairah referred to the face only to explain the beauty of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is because the face is the focal point of a person’s beauty and often the body conforms to the status of the face.
Ibn Hajar al-Haytamī said,
Despite his fast pace, he walked in a manner that maintained his respect and status; hence his pace was moderate [for him].
124. Alī ibn Abī Tālib used to describe the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him), saying: “When he walked, he lifted his legs with vigour; it seemed as if he was descending from a higher place.” [144]
Al-Bajūrī said,
He (peace be upon him) lifted his legs with vigour and did not lift them in an arrogant manner or slowly as that is the way women walk.
125. Alī ibn Abī Tālib narrated: “When the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) walked, he bent forward slightly as if he was descending from a high place.” [145]
Alī al-Qārī said,
This is to show that he did not drag his feet on the ground or walk in an arrogant manner.
