حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ رَآهُ غَيْرِي ، قَالَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : فَكَيْفَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ أَبْيَضَ ، مَلِيحًا ، مُقَصَّدًا " .
Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and there is one amongst the people of the earth who are living at the present time and had seen him except me. I said to him: How did you find him? He said: He had an elegant white color, and he was of an average height.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Abu Tufayl ‘Amir ibn Wathilah radi Allahu anhu was the last of the Companions to pass away. However, there is a difference of opinion regarding the year of his death: 102 AH, 107 AH, 110 AH—various views exist. But his statement in 10 AH that “a hundred years from now, none of those present at this time will remain alive” necessitates that the last opinion is correct.

Benefits and Issues:
The walk of strong, healthy, and energetic individuals is generally like this.
To walk in a loose and sluggish manner under the guise of humility, as if a sick person is walking, is not praiseworthy (desirable).
