حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سُعَيْدٍ أَوْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍعَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا قَصِيرٌ وَلَا طَوِيلٌ، عَظِيمَ الرَّأْسِ رَجِلَهُ، عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ، مُشْرَبًا حُمْرَةً، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، عَظِيمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ، كَأَنَّمَا يَهْبِطُ فِي صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ، وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ﷺ

سئل الدارقطني عنه فذكر الاختلاف فيه قال والصواب قول من قال عن نافع بن جبير عن علي ولم يذكر فيه جبيرا والله أعلم فإن بعضهم ذكره عن نافع عن أبيه عن علي وبعضهم يقول عن نافع عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī was asked about him, and he mentioned the disagreement concerning it. He said: The correct view is that of those who said, "from Nāfiʿ b. 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.
