Rabi'ah bin Abi Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he saw a large gathering of people sitting by one of the gates of Jannat al-Baqi' (Baqi' al-Gharqad), among whom was Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I heard him describing the noble qualities of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and among what he said was: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was granted prophethood at the age of forty, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed ten years in Makkah and ten years in Madinah, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sixty years old, and not even twenty hairs in his (peace and blessings be upon him) head and beard had turned white."
