حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ خالد عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَازِنٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَلِيًّا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، انْعَتْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، صِفْهُ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: كَانَ لَيْسَ بِالذَّاهِبِ طُولًا، وَفَوْقَ الرَّبْعَةِ، إِذَا جَاءَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ غَمَرَهُمْ، أَبْيَضَ شَدِيدَ الْوَضَحِ، ضَخْمَ الْهَامَةِ، أَغَرَّ، أَبْلَجَ، هَدِبَ الْأَشْفَارِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، إِذَا مَشَى يَتَقَلَّعُ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُ فِي صَبَبٍ، كَأَنَّ الْعَرَقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ اللُّؤْلُؤُ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي ﷺ

✧ A man asked Ali: 'O Commander of the Faithful, describe the Messenger of God ﷺ to us.' He said: 'He was not extremely tall, and was above average height. When he came with people, he would stand out among them. He was fair with a bright complexion, large-headed, with a radiant face, clear brow, and long eyelashes. His hands and feet were thick. When he walked, he would lift his feet as if descending a slope. Sweat on his face was like pearls. I have never seen anyone like him before or after, may my father and mother be his ransom ﷺ.'
