حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ
سُعَيْدٍ أَوْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا قَصِيرٌ وَلَا طَوِيلٌ عَظِيمَ الرَّأْسِ رَجِلَهُ عَظِيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ مُشْرَبًا حُمْرَةً طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ عَظِيمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ كَأَنَّمَا يَهْبِطُ فِي صَبَبٍ لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

English Translation
It was narrated that Nafi’ bin Jubair bin Mut`im said. `Ali (رضي الله عنه) was asked about how the Prophet ﷺ looked. He said: He was not short and not tall, and he had a reddish colour and beautiful, slightly wavy hair. He had large joints and large hands, a large head and a long line of hair running from his chest to his navel. When he walked, he walked energetically as if he was walking downhill, I have never seen anyone like him (ﷺ) before or after.
