The Prophet ﷺ was neither conspicuously tall, nor short; neither, very white, nor tawny. His hair was neither much curled, nor very straight. Allah sent him (as an Apostle) at the age of forty (and after that) he stayed for ten years in Mecca, and for ten more years in Medina. Allah took him unto Him at the age of sixty, and he scarcely had ten white hairs on his head and in his beard.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلَيْسَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ وَلَيْسَ بِالآدَمِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبْطِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعَرَةً بَيْضَاءَ
I did not see anybody in a red cloak looking more handsome than the Prophet. Narrated Malik: The hair of the Prophet ﷺ used to hang near his shoulders. Abu Ishaq said, "I heard him relate it more than once. He always laughed when he related it." Narrated Shuʿba: The hair of the Prophet ﷺ used to hang down to the earlobes.
سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَحْسَنَ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ إِنَّ جُمَّتَهُ لَتَضْرِبُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُهُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ قَطُّ إِلاَّ ضَحِكَ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Today I saw myself in a dream near the Kaʿba. I saw a whitish brown man, the handsomest of all brown men you might ever see. He had the most beautiful Limma (hair hanging down to the earlobes) you might ever see. He had combed it and it was dripping water; and he was performing the Tawaf around the Kaʿba leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men. l asked, "Who is this?" It was said. "Messiah, the son of Mary." Suddenly I saw a curly-haired man, blind in the right eye which looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is Masiah Ad-Dajjal."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أُرَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً آدَمَ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنْ أُدْمِ الرِّجَالِ لَهُ لِمَّةٌ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنَ اللِّمَمِ قَدْ رَجَّلَهَا فَهْىَ تَقْطُرُ مَاءً مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ أَوْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِ رَجُلَيْنِ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقِيلَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ جَعْدٍ قَطَطٍ أَعْوَرِ الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى كَأَنَّهَا عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقِيلَ الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ
The hair of the Prophet ﷺ used to hang down up to his shoulders.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ شَعَرُهُ مَنْكِبَيْهِ
The head-hair of the Prophet ﷺ used to hang down to his shoulders.
عَنْ أَنَسٍ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ شَعَرُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْكِبَيْهِ
l asked Anas bin Malik about the hair of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "The hair of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was neither much straight, nor much curly, and it used to hang down till between his shoulders and his earlobes.
عَنْ شَعَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ شَعَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجِلاً لَيْسَ بِالسَّبِطِ وَلاَ الْجَعْدِ بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَعَاتِقِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ had big hands, and I have never seen anybody like him after him. The hair of the Prophet was wavy, neither curly nor straight.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَخْمَ الْيَدَيْنِ لَمْ أَرَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَكَانَ شَعَرُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجِلاً لاَ جَعْدَ وَلاَ سَبِطَ
The Prophet ﷺ had big hands and feet, and I have not seen anybody like him, neither before nor after him, and his palms were soft.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَخْمَ الْيَدَيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ حَسَنَ الْوَجْهِ لَمْ أَرَ بَعْدَهُ وَلاَ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَكَانَ بَسِطَ الْكَفَّيْنِ
The Prophet ﷺ had big feet and a good-looking face and l have not seen anybody like him after him.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَخْمَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ حَسَنَ الْوَجْهِ لَمْ أَرَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ
عَنْ أَنَسٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَثْنَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ وَالْكَفَّيْنِ
The Prophet ﷺ had big hands and feet and I have not seen anybody like him after him.
عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَوْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَخْمَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ لَمْ أَرَ بَعْدَهُ شَبَهًا لَهُ
We were with Ibn ʿAbbas and the people mentioned Ad-Dajjal. Someone said, "The word 'Kafir' (unbeliever) is written in between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes." Ibn ʿAbbas said, "I have not heard the Prophet saying this, but he said, 'As regards Abraham, he looks like your companion (i.e. the Prophet, Muhammad), and as regards Moses, he is a brown curly haired man riding a camel and reigned with a strong jute rope, as if I am now looking at him getting down in the valley and saying, "Labbaik".'"
أَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَرَجُلٌ آدَمُ جَعْدٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ مَخْطُومٍ بِخُلْبَةٍ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ إِذِ انْحَدَرَ فِي الْوَادِي يُلَبِّي
