Hadith of Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7456 — some hairs at the front of the blessed head
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ شَمِطَ مُقَدَّمُ رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ ، فَإِذَا ادَّهَنَ وَمَشَطَهُ لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ ، فَإِذَا شَعِثَ رَأَيْتُهُ ، وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ شَعَرِ اللِّحْيَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : وَجْهُهُ مِثْلُ السَّيْفِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، مِثْلُ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ مُسْتَدِيرٌ قَالَ : وَرَأَيْتُ خَاتَمَهُ عِنْدَ كَتِفِهِ مِثْلَ بَيْضَةِ النَّعَامَةِ تُشْبِهُ جَسَدَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that "some hairs at the front of the blessed head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and in his blessed beard had turned white. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) applied oil and combed (his hair), that (whiteness) would not show, but when his hair was dishevelled it could be seen. And the hair of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed beard was abundant (thick)." A man asked: Was his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face like a sword (shining and elongated)? He replied: "No, rather it was round like the sun and the moon (rounded and radiant)." He also said: "I saw the Seal of Prophethood near his (peace and blessings be upon him) shoulder; it was (in size) like an ostrich egg, and it resembled the colour of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed body."
