He had a large head, a reddish white complexion, a large beard, large joints and large hands and feet. He had a long line of hair running from his chest to his navel and the hair on his head was thick and slightly wavy. He used to lean forward when walking as if he was walking uphill, and he was neither tall nor short, I have never seen anyone like him ﷺ before or since. ‘Ali bin Hakeem said in his hadeeth: ‘Ali bin Abi Talib ؓ described the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to us. He said: He had a large head and beautiful, slightly wavy hair.

" عن نافع بنِ جُبَيْر قَالَ: وَصَفَ لَنَا عَلِىٌّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ، وَكَانَ أَبْيَضَ مُشْربًا بِحُمْرَةٍ، ضَخْمَ الهَامَةِ، عَظيمَ اللِّحْيَةِ، كَثِيرَ الشَّعرِ رَجْلَهُ، شَثْنَ الْكَفيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، صخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، إِذَا مَشَى يمْشِى يَكْفَأُ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ".
