Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29795

Muhammad bin Ismail told us, Abu Nu’aym told us, Al-Masoudi told us, on the authority of Uthman bin Muslim bin Hurmuz, on the authority of Nafi’ bin Jubayr bin Mutim, on the authority of Ali, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was neither tall nor short, with thick palms and feet, and a large head. He has huge, long-straight hips, and when he walks, he leans forward as if he descended from a tree, the likes of which I have never seen before or after. Abu Issa said: This is a hasan and authentic hadith. Sufyan bin Wakee’ narrated to us. My father narrated to us, on the authority of Al-Masoudi, with this chain of transmission and similar to it.
