حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
" كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلَا بِالطَّوِيلِ، ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، مُشْرَبٌ وَجْهُهُ حُمْرَةً، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّى تَكَفِّيًا، كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ

✧ "The Messenger of God ﷺ was neither short nor tall, with a large head and beard, coarse palms and feet, large joints, his face tinged with redness, with a long line of hair from the chest to the navel. When he walked, he leaned forward as if descending a slope. I have not seen before him or after him anyone like him."
