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.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The summary of the narrations regarding the gait of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that he was very swift in walking; he would walk at the pace of a person moving through the marketplace, he was neither weary nor sluggish, and no one could keep up with him. As Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu narrates: I have not seen anyone swifter in walking than the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; it was as if the earth was folded up for him. We would exhaust ourselves while he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would continue walking unconcernedly.

When he placed his foot, he would place it firmly; when he walked, he would lift his feet with vigor, and he would walk as if descending from a slope. Then he would lift his feet with vigor and walk with gentleness.
