From Annemarie Schimmel's book And Muhammad is His Messenger:
"In the report of Umm Ma'bad, whose barren sheep the Prophet (peace be upon him) had milked, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is described as nasim wasim, "graceful and elegant."
"These words are used by Saadi in his famous poem at the beginning of his Bustan, and further expanded:
wasimun qasimun jasimun nasim
Elegant, well shaped, noble, and graceful."
So much more poetic these words are in Persian!
