Musnad Abi Ya'la 3832 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was of medium height
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبْعَةً ، حَسَنَ الْجِسْمِ ، لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلَا بِالْقَصِيرِ ، وَكَانَ شَعَرُهُ لَيْسَ بِجَعْدٍ وَلَا سَبْطٍ ، أَسْمَرَ اللَّوْنِ ، إِذَا مَشَى يَتَوَكَّأُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was of medium height and well-built, neither very tall nor short. His (peace and blessings be upon him) hair was neither very curly nor completely straight; his complexion was wheat-coloured, and when he walked, he would lean slightly forward.
