عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَنْعَتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْعَتَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبْعَةً مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلَا بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ أَزْهَرَ لَيْسَ بِالْآدَمِ وَلَا بِالْأَبْيَضِ وَلَا الْأَمْهَقِ رَجِلَ الشَّعْرِ لَيْسَ بِالسَّبْطِ وَلَا الْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ بُعِثَ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرًا وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا وَتُوُفِّيَ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً لَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ
It is narrated from Rabi’ah bin Abi Abdur Rahman that he heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) describing the blessed appearance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in his own way. I heard Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was of medium height among the people, neither very short nor very tall. His complexion was radiant, neither wheatish nor completely white, but fair and luminous. His hair was neither completely straight nor very curly, but slightly wavy. He was honored with prophethood at the age of forty. After that, he stayed for ten years in Makkah Mukarramah and ten years in Madinah Munawwarah. He passed away at the age of sixty. There were not even twenty white hairs on his head and beard.
