Hadith 5:383
Abdullah narrated to us, Abu al-Sha’tha’ Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Sulayman narrated to me, Abu Khalid al-Ahmar Sulayman ibn Hayyan narrated to us, from Hajjaj, from Uthman, from Abu Abdullah al-Makki, from Nafi’ ibn Jubayr ibn Mut’im, who said: Ali was asked about the description of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said: "He was neither short nor tall. His complexion was mixed with redness. He had beautiful, wavy hair. He was large-jointed. He had thick palms and feet. He had a large head. He had a long line of hair [extending from his chest to his navel]. When he walked, he leaned forward as if he were descending from a slope. I have not seen anyone like him before him nor after him, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
حدثنا عبد الله، حدثني أبو الشعثاء علي بن الحسن بن سليمان، حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر سليمان بن حيان، عن حجاج، عن عثمان، عن أبي عبد الله المكي ، عن نافع بن جبير بن مطعم، قال: سئل علي، عن صفة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: " لا قصير ولا طويل، مشرب لونه حمرة، حسن الشعر رجله، ضخم الكراديس، شثن الكفين، ضخم الهامة، طويل المسربة، إذا مشى تكفأ كأنما ينحدر من صبب، لم أر مثله قبله ولا بعده صلى الله عليه وسلم "
