حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ رَجُلاً حَيًّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرِي، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبْيَضَ، مَلِيحَ الْوَجْهِ. وَعَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هَارُونَ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ نَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ، قَالَ أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ: مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرِي، قُلْتُ: وَرَأَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ كَانَ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبْيَضَ مَلِيحًا مُقَصَّدًا.
It is narrated from Jariri (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes, and to my knowledge, there is no man alive on the face of the earth except me who has seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he said, "The complexion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was white and his blessed face was extremely beautiful."
In another chain, Jariri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I and Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, Amir bin Wathila al-Kinani, were performing Tawaf of the House of Allah when Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "No companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remains except me." I asked, "Did you see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said, "Yes!" I asked, "What was the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like?" He said, "The complexion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was white, his face was attractive and charming, and he was of medium height."
