"عَنْ يُوسف بْنِ مَازِن: أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَألَ عَليا فَقَالَ: انْعَتِ النبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ بالذاهِبِ طُولًا، وَفَوْقَ الرَّبْعَةِ، إِذَا قَامَ فِى القوم غَمَرهُمْ، أبْيضُ شَدِيدُ الوَضَح، ضَخْمُ الهَامَةِ، أَغَرُّ، أبْلَجُ، ضَخْمُ القَدَمَيْنِ وَالكَعْبَيْنِ، إِذَا مَشَى يَتَقَلعُ كَأنمَا يَنْحِدرُ فِى صَبَبٍ، كَأنَّ العرق فِى وَجْهِهِ اللُّؤْلُؤُ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ ولاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ﷺ ".

"From Yusuf ibn Mazin: A man asked 'Ali and said: Describe the Prophet ﷺ to us. He said: He was not overly tall, and above average height. When he stood among the people he stood out above them. He was fair-skinned with a bright complexion, large-headed, with a blaze of white on his forehead and a broad forehead. He had large feet and ankles. When he walked he lifted his feet firmly, as if descending a slope. The sweat on his face was like pearls. I have not seen anyone before him or after him like him ﷺ."
