adab:790

Abu't-Tufayl said, "I was asked, 'Did you see the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?' 'Yes,' I replied, 'and I do not know of any man left alive on the face of the earth except myself who saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' He went on, 'The Prophet had white skin and a handsome face.'"

الأدب المفرد:٧٩٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ

عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ رَجُلاً حَيًّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَيْرِي قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبْيَضَ مَلِيحَ الْوَجْهِ
