" عن نافع بنِ جُبَيْر قَالَ: وَصَفَ لَنَا عَلِىٌّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ، وَكَانَ أَبْيَضَ مُشْربًا بِحُمْرَةٍ، ضَخْمَ الهَامَةِ، عَظيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ، كَثِيرَ الشَّعرِ رَجْلَهُ، شَثْنَ الْكَفيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، صخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، إِذَا مَشَى يمْشِى يَكْفَأُ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ".

"From Nafi' ibn Jubayr, he said: 'Ali described the Prophet ﷺ to us, saying: He was neither tall nor short. He was white with a reddish tinge, large-headed, with a great beard and abundant hair on his head, thick-palmed and thick-footed, large-jointed, with a long stride. When he walked, he walked leaning forward, as if descending from a slope. I have not seen anyone before him or after him like him."
