Hadith 796

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ ، عَظِيمَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ، هَدِبَ الْأَشْفَارِ ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ : الشِّفَارِ ، مُشْرَبَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ بِحُمْرَةٍ ، كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ ، أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ ، إِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّمَا يَمْشِي فِي صُعُدٍ ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ : تَكَفَّأَ ، وَإِذَا الْتَفَتَ الْتَفَتَ جَمِيعًا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large head, big eyes, long eyelashes, reddish streaks in his eyes, a thick beard, a radiant complexion, and full hands and feet. His manner of walking was such that it seemed as if he was descending from a slope. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards someone, he would turn completely towards them.
