حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ الْمُتَرَدِّدِ وَلاَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ وَلاَ بِالآدَمِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبِطِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not very tall nor was he [very] short, nor was he pale white, nor was he brown, nor was the wave of his hair completely curly nor straight. Allah sent him at the beginning of his forties and he stayed in Makkah for ten years, and in Al-Madinah for ten years. And Allah took him at the beginning of his sixties, and there were not more than twenty white hairs on his head or in his beard."

  • 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.
