(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ،
وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ،
وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ بنت السدي ، قَالَوا : حَدَّثَنَا
شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ
نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، عَنْ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ وَصَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَال : كَانَ " عَظِيمَ الْهَامَةِ ، أَبْيَضَ ، مُشْرَبًا بِحُمْرَةٍ ، عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ ، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ ، كَثِيرَ شَعَرِ الرَّأْسِ رَجِلَهُ ، يَتَكَفَّأُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُ فِي صَبَبٍ ، لَا طَوِيلٌ ، وَلَا قَصِيرٌ ، لَمْ أَرَ مِثْلَهُ لَا قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ، وَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : وَوَصَفَ لَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " كَانَ ضَخْمَ الْهَامَةِ ، حَسَنَ الشَّعَرِ رَجِلَهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large blessed head, a complexion that was white with a reddish tinge, and a thick beard. His joints were very strong, his palms and feet were full, and there was a long line of hair from his chest to his navel. The hair on his head was thick and slightly curly. When he walked, he would take small steps, and it seemed as if he was descending from a slope. He was neither very tall nor very short. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him, peace and blessings be upon him.
