[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the marketplace of Thul-Majaz, walking among the people and saying, "O people, say: 'There is no God but Allah' and you will succeed." Abu Jahl was covering him with dust and saying, "O people, do not be deceived by this from your religion, for he only wants you to abandon your idols and leave Al-Lat and Al-Uzza." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pay attention to him. We described the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as having two red cheeks, a broad forehead, a lot of flesh, a beautiful face, intense black hair, and a radiant white complexion.  

أحمد:١٦٦٠٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ مِنْ بَنِي مَالِكِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ يَتَخَلَّلُهَا يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ تُفْلِحُوا قَالَ وَأَبُو جَهْلٍ يَحْثِي عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ وَيَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ هَذَا عَنْ دِينِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ لِتَتْرُكُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ وَتَتْرُكُوا اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى قَالَ وَمَا يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْنَا انْعَتْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَ بُرْدَيْنِ أَحْمَرَيْنِ مَرْبُوعٌ كَثِيرُ اللَّحْمِ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ أَبْيَضُ شَدِيدُ الْبَيَاضِ سَابِغُ الشَّعْرِ
