Musnad Ahmad 944

Translation

✧ He described the Prophet ﷺ and said: He was large-headed, fair-skinned with a reddish tinge, had a large beard, large joints, rough palms and feet, a long line of hair from chest to navel, and thick hair on his head that was slightly curly. He walked leaning forward as if descending a slope. He was neither tall nor short. I have not seen anyone like him before or after ﷺ.

Jubayr, from ʿAlī," without mentioning Jubayr in it, and God knows best. For some of them mentioned it from Nāfiʿ, from his father, from ʿAlī, and some of them say: from Nāfiʿ, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. Report a problem
