Ali's description of the Prophet's stature

ahmad:1301 – Abdullāh > Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr al-Muqaddamī > Nūḥ b. Qays > Khālid b. Qays > Yūsuf b. Māzin > rajul > ʿAlī

[AI] It was said to him, "Describe the Prophet ﷺ to us," so he said: He was not excessively tall, then he mentioned the like of it exactly.

أحمد:١٣٠١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَازِنٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ: انْعَتْ لَنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: كَانَ لَيْسَ بِالذَّاهِبِ طُولًا، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً.
