Musnad Abi Ya'la 370 — Sayyiduna Ali was asked about the blessed
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صِفَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: «كَانَ لَا قَصِيرًا وَلَا طَوِيلًا، حَسَنَ الشَّعْرِ رَجِلَهُ، مُشْرَبًا فِي وَجْهِهِ حُمْرَةٌ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، عَظِيمَ الرَّأْسِ، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، إِذَا مَشَى كَانَ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ»
It is narrated from Muhammad bin al-Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the blessed features of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) was neither very short nor very tall. His (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hair was very beautiful and slightly wavy. His (peace and blessings be upon him) radiant face had a tinge of redness in it. His (peace and blessings be upon him) joints were large and strong. His (peace and blessings be upon him) palms and blessed feet were fleshy. His radiant head was prominent and large. There was a long, fine line of hair from his chest to his navel. I have not seen anyone like him (peace and blessings be upon him), neither before him nor after him. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) walked, it seemed as if he (peace and blessings be upon him) were descending swiftly down a slope."
