" عَنْ عليٍّ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ نَعْت النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فقَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْيَضَ الَّلوْنِ مُشْرَبَ حُمْرَةٍ، أَدْعَجَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، سَبْطَ الشَّعَرِ، ذُو وَفْرَةٍ، دَقِيقَ الْمَسْرُبَة، سَهْلَ الْخَدِّ، كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ، كَأَنَّ عُنُقَهُ إِبْرِيقُ فِضَّةٍ، مِنْ لَبَّتهِ إِلَى سُرتِهِ شَعَرٌ يَجْرِى كَالْضَيبَ؛ لَيْسَ فِى بَطْنِهِ وَلاَ فِى صَدْرِه شَعْرٌ غَيْرُهُ، شَثْنَ الْكَفِّ وَالْقَدَمِ، إِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّمَا يَتَحدَّرُ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، وَإذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّمَا يَتَقَلَّعُ مِنْ صَخرٍ، وَإِذَا الْتَفَتَ الْتَفَتَ جَمِيعًا، كَأَنَّ عَرَقَهُ فِى وَجْهِهِ الُّلؤْلُؤ، وَلَرِيحُ عَرَقِهِ أَطيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْك الأَذفَرِ، لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلاَ بِالقَصِيرِ، وَلاَ الْعَاجِزِ، وَلاَ اللَّئِيم، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ﷺ ".

"From Ali: He was asked about the description of the Prophet ﷺ and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was white in complexion, tinged with redness, with very black eyes, straight hair, and thick hair on his head. He had a fine line of hair on his chest, smooth cheeks, and a thick beard. His neck was like a silver ewer. From his chest to his navel ran a line of hair like a thread. Apart from that, there was no hair on his belly or chest. His palms and feet were thick. When he walked, it was as if he were descending from a slope, and when he walked it was as if he were stepping down from a rock. When he turned, he turned with his whole body. His sweat on his face was like pearls, and the scent of his sweat was better than the strongest musk. He was neither tall nor short, neither weak nor mean. I have never seen anyone like him before or after him ﷺ."
