حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَمِّعُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَالْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلا بِالطَّوِيلِ، ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ مُشْرَبًا وَجْهُهُ حُمْرَةً، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ إِذَا مَشَى، تَكَفَّأَ تَكَفُّؤًا كَأَنَّمَا يَتَقَلَّعُ مِنْ صَخْرٍ لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ، وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (٣)، ، وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: " الْمَسْرُبَةُ "، وَقَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْمَسْرُبَةُ (١) ، وَقَالَ: " كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ "، وَقَالَ أَبُو قَطَنٍ: " الْمَسْرُبَةُ "، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: " الْمَسْرُبَةُ "،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was neither short not tall; he had a large head and beard, large hands and feet, large joints, a reddish face, and a long line of hair from his chest to his navel. When he walked he walked energetically, as if lifting his feet from a rock. I have never seen anyone like him before or since, ﷺ.
