Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah — Hadith #47747

Ahmad ibn 'Abdah al-Dabbi al-Basri, 'Ali ibn Hujr, and Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn al-Husayn (who was the son of Abu Halimah) narrated to us, and the meaning is the same. They said: 'Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us, on the authority of 'Umar ibn 'Abd Allah, the freed slave of Ghufra, who said: Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, from the descendants of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, narrated to me, saying: 'Ali, when He described the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was neither excessively tall nor excessively short. He was of medium height. His hair was neither tightly curled nor completely straight, but rather loose and curly. He was neither excessively beautiful nor excessively veiled. His face was round, fair-skinned, with dark eyes and long eyelashes. His eyelashes were long, his joints and shoulders were thick, he was bald, with a prominent ridge, his hands and feet were rough, when he walked it was as if he were descending a slope, and when he turned he turned with both hands, between his shoulders was the Seal of Prophethood, and he was the Seal of the Prophets, the most generous of people, the most truthful in speech, the most gentle in nature, and the most honorable in companionship. Whoever saw him spontaneously was awed by him, and whoever He associated with him with knowledge and loved him. His describer says: I have not seen anyone like him before or after him, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
