One day Abu Jahl came to the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم and said, "You have the most ugly face in Bani Hashim." Abu Jahl as we all know was a chief from the Quraysh tribe who showed the most hatred towards Islam.
The Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم said, "You speak the truth."
Soon afterwards, Sayyiduna 'Umar (RA) came in and remarked, "O Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم of Allah, your face shines like the brilliant sun." The Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم replied, "You speak the truth."
A companion of the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم who was sitting nearby asked, "How can it be possible that both the opposite remarks are true?"
The Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم replied, "I am like a clean shining mirror. Everyone sees his own face in me"
