عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلَا بِالْقَصِيرِ ضَخْمُ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ شَثْنُ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ مُشْرَبٌ وَجْهُهُ حُمْرَةً طَوِيلُ الْمَسْرُبَةِ ضَخْمُ الْكَرَادِيسِ إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ تَكَفُّؤًا كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
(Second Chain) It is narrated from Nafi‘ bin Jubayr bin Mut‘im that Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was neither very tall nor short. His head was large and his beard was thick. The palms of his hands and his feet were fleshy. The radiant face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was white with a reddish tinge. The bones of his limbs were strong. From his chest to his navel there was a long line of hair. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walked, he would lean slightly forward as if descending from a height. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him.
