حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ خالد، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَازِنٍ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَلِيًّا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، انْعَتْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صِفْهُ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: " كَانَ لَيْسَ بِالذَّاهِبِ طُولًا، وَفَوْقَ الرَّبْعَةِ، إِذَا جَاءَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ غَمَرَهُمْ، أَبْيَضَ شَدِيدَ الْوَضَحِ، ضَخْمَ الْهَامَةِ، أَغَرَّ أَبْلَجَ، هَدِبَ الْأَشْفَارِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، إِذَا مَشَى يَتَقَلَّعُ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُ فِي صَبَبٍ، كَأَنَّ الْعَرَقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ اللُّؤْلُؤُ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (٢)، ، •

It was narrated from Yoosuf bin Mazin that A man asked `Ali (رضي الله عنه), “O Ameer al-Mu`mineen, describe the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to us”. He said:
“He was not very tall, a little above average height. When he came with people he would stand out among them. He was very white, with a large head, a bright face, long eyelashes and large hands and feet. When he walked, he walked with energy, as is going downhill. It was as if the sweat on his face was pearls; I have never seen anyone like him before or since, may my father and mother be sacrificed for him. It was narrated from ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) that It was said to him: “Describe the Prophet (ﷺ) to us.” He said: “He was not very tall…” and he mentioned a similar report.
