Saadi on Muhammad

“the full moon dwindles when seeing the beauty of Muhammad. the cypress tree cannot match the statues of Muhammad in uprightness”

“The Peace of God be upon him and his Posterity! So long as the tongue is fixed in the mouth, May the praise of Muhammad be a source of delight. The beloved of God, the most exalted of Prophets, Whose pillow is the glorious firmament. The earth-conquering horseman with the chestnut Buraq, Which passed beyond the palace of the cerulean portico!”

“God made your praise and uttered your glorification He made Gabriel kiss the threshold of your mystic rank The lofty heaven is ashamed before your sublime worth You were created while Adam was being kneaded of water and clay You were the primordial starting-point of creation Whatever came into being thence forward was your offshoot and branch I am bewildered by what kind of words to oddness you Because you are more sublime than what I say about you Suffice is for your glorious rank the Divine utterance "Were it not for you…" and enough for your glorification the names of Taha an Yasin”
