Hadith 6311
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِِذَا وَصَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : كَانَ " عَظِيمَ الْهَامَةِ ، أَبْيَضَ مُشْرَبًا حُمْرَةً ، عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ ، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ ، إِِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّهُ يَمْشِي فِي صَبَبٍ ، لَمْ أَرَ مِثْلَهُ قَبْلَهُ وَلا بَعْدَهُ " .
When Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) used to describe the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would say: He had a well-built body. His complexion was white with a reddish tinge. His beard was thick. There was a thin line of hair from his chest to his navel. Both his hands and feet were fleshy. When he walked, it seemed as if he was descending swiftly from a height. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him.
