حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلَيْسَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ وَلاَ بِالآدَمِ وَلاَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبِطِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ ﷺ

Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman heard Anas ibn Malik say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not excessively tall or short. He was not very pallid nor dark. He did not have curly hair or lank hair. Allah commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Makka ten years and at Madina for ten years and Allah the Mighty, the Majestic made him die when he was sixty. There were not twenty white hairs in his hair or beard ﷺ."

  • al-Bukhari

    ذكر البخاري عن أحمد صاحب له عن أبي غسان محمد بن عمرو الرازي زنيج عن حكام بن سلم عن عثمان بن زائدة عن الزبير بن عدي قال البخاري وهذا أصح عندي من حديث ربيعة

    in موطأ مالك, p. 1615
  • Qurṭubī

    توفاه الله على رأس ستين سنة هذا أحد قولي أنس وفي الرواية الأخرى عنه ثلاث وستين ووافقه على ذلك عبد الله بن عباس ومعاوية وعائشة وهو أصح الأقوال وأصح الروايات على ما ذكره البخاري

    machine translationGod took him in death at the head of sixty years; this is one of the two statements of Anas, and in the other narration from him it is sixty-three. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbbās, Muʿāwiyah and ʿĀʾishah agreed with him on that, and it is the soundest of the statements and the soundest of the narrations, according to what al-Bukhārī mentioned.
