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 إِذَا وَصَفَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ « كَانَ عَظِيمَ الْهَامَةِ أَبْيَضَ مُشْرَبًا حُمْرَةً عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ إِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّهُ يَمْشِي فِي صَبَبٍ لَمْ أَرَ مِثْلَهُ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ»

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.
