Musnad Abi Ya'la 369 — , describing the praiseworthy features
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ وَصَفَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : كَانَ عَظِيمَ الْهَامَةِ ، أَبْيَضَ مُشْرَبًا حُمْرَةً ، عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that, describing the praiseworthy features of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "His (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed head was large (in proportion to his body) and dignified; his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed complexion was white with a clear tinge of redness; his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed beard was thick; his (peace and blessings be upon him) joints (of the shoulders, knees and so on) were large and strong; his (peace and blessings be upon him) palms and blessed feet were fleshy and firm. I have not seen anyone else like him (peace and blessings be upon him) (in beauty), neither before him nor after him. May Allah Almighty send peace upon him (peace and blessings be upon him)."
