Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلا بِالْقَصِيرِ، ضَخْمُ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ، شَثْنُ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، مُشْرَبٌ وَجْهُهُ حُمْرَةً،، ، طَوِيلُ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، ضَخْمُ الْكَرَادِيسِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ تَكَفُّؤًا كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (١)،

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was neither tall nor short, he had a large head, a big beard and large hands and feet. His face had a reddish colour; he had a long thin line of hair from the top of his chest to his navel; and he had large joints. When he walked, he walked energetically as is walking downhill, I never saw anyone like him before or since,
