Commentary
a. Qâ'if (physiognomist) is a person who is well versed in the science of physiognomy; physiognomy is an art of judging a man's nature. A person with the art of physiognomy reads the facial features and apparent physical characteristics and thus he judges the nature of things. Particularly, a physiognomist tries to express his view regarding the lineage relationship between two individuals. In these days some expert human trackers (modern: detectives) who, in search for thieves, are able to recognise a suspicious person with the help of their footprints; are also a kind of physiognomists.
b. In the time of Ignorance (the pre-Islamic period), if the people had a dispute about who a child belonged to, then they would ask the physiognomist (Qâ'if) to express his judgement with regard to the lineage of the child. This Hadith is a proof that their assistance still can be sought in these days. [I say: This Hadith is a fundamental rule for using modern detective devices and other trusted scientific and technical methods; like DNA, drug probes, fingerprints and other methods used to track criminals etc. Islam is a religion that deals with all types of problems, and Islam has always been modern, and a pioneer until the Day of Judgment. — Usmani]
c. Zaid ؓ, who was the adopted son of the Prophet ﷺ, had a white complexion, but his son Usâmah had a brown complexion; about which some of the hypocrites made inappropriate comments. When an Arab expert physiognomist said that these two individuals have the same family lineage, i.e., they are father and son; it uprooted the false propaganda of the hypocrites. So the Prophet ﷺ was very much pleased.
