Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33972 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Yazid al-Farisi said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream during the time of the governorship of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) over Basrah. I said to Ibn Abbas: "I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream." He said: "Can you describe him?" I said: "Yes. He is of medium build, wheat-coloured, with the most beautiful smile, eyes that look as if lined with kohl, and a handsome face. His beard fills his face from here to here" — and he pointed to his temples — "until it almost fills his chest." Awf said: I do not remember the other attributes besides this. Ibn Abbas said: "If you had seen him while awake, you could not have described him better than this."
