Which prophet had the power to interpret the meaning of dreams?
Prophet Yusuf (AS) was not only given this special miracle but was given the gift of handsomeness and he was the most handsome person on Earth.
A famous hadith in Sahih Muslim describes Prophet Muhammad pbuh seeing Yusuf during his Night Journey (Isra and Miraj):
“I saw Yusuf, and lo! he had been given half of (all) beauty”
(Sahih Muslim 234)
This means Yusuf was given half of the beauty of all of creation, and the rest was distributed among all other human beings. Scholars interpret this to mean either:
Half of the total beauty given to humanity was given to Yusuf alone, or
Yusuf was as beautiful as all of humanity combined.
Either way, this hadith is the foundation for the belief that Yusuf was the most physically beautiful person created by Allah.
