The most beautiful woman according to the Sunnah

Question:

Assalamu Alaykum, According to Sunnah, prophet Muhammad pbuh had the nicest face. Did the sunnah address who was the most beautiful woman? Thank you
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

 

It was narrated on the authority of Al-Baraa’ ibn ‘Aazib may Allaah be pleased with him that he said: "The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, had the most beautiful face of all people and the best conduct. He was neither very tall nor short.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

However, we do not know any evidence proving who the most beautiful woman was. Additionally, knowing this piece of information is not beneficial and not knowing it is not harmful. A Muslim should ask about things requiring actions which are beneficial to him in his religion or his life.

Allaah Knows best.
