Was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, more handsome than others, and is it true that he was hairy-armed, and does disliking hairiness of the arms undermine one's 'aqidah (creed)?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was the most handsome of people in form. It was narrated that he was hairy on the forearms, but Sheikh Al-Albani graded this as weak. This characteristic is not considered unattractive in men; rather, it is considered a part of their beauty, unlike women. There is no blame upon a Muslim for liking something the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, disliked, or disliking something he liked, regarding ordinary, natural matters that are not considered part of the . Indeed, natural inclinations are not among his legislative actions that should be followed.
