Hadith 3:110
Zakariya ibn Yahya al-Wasiti narrated to us, 'Abbad ibn al-'Awwam narrated to us, al-Hajjaj informed us, from Salim al-Makki, from Ibn al-Hanafiyyah, from 'Ali, that he was asked about the description of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). He said: "He was neither short nor tall. He had handsome hair, [and was] well-proportioned. There was a redness in his face. He had large joints, and thick palms and feet. He had a large head. He had a long line of hair [extending from his chest to his navel]. I have not seen anyone like him before him or after him. When he walked, it was as if he were descending from a slope."
حدثنا زكريا بن يحيى الواسطي حدثنا عباد بن العوام أخبرنا الحجاج عن سالم المكي عن بن الحنفية عن علي أنه سئل عن صفة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال * كان لا قصيرا ولا طويلا حسن الشعر رجله مشربا في وجهه حمرة ضخم الكراديس شثن الكفين والقدمين عظيم الرأس طويل المسربة لم أر قبله ولا بعده مثله إذا مشى كان كأنما ينحط من صبب
