Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bukhari:5901 – Mālik b. Ismāʿīl > Isrāʾīl > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

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.

البخاري:٥٩٠١ – حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ

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

تَابَعَهُ شُعْبَةُ شَعَرُهُ يَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنَيْهِ

ahmad:18613 – Aswad b. ʿĀmir > Isrāʾīl > Abū Isḥāq > Yaḥyá b. Abū Bukayr > Isrāʾīl > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

[Machine] I heard Al-Bara' saying, "I have never seen anyone among the creation of Allah who is better-looking in a red garment than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Indeed, his cheeks are like roses." Ibn Abi Bukayr said, "They are even closer to his shoulders." I have heard him narrating this many times, and he would never narrate it without laughing.

أحمد:١٨٦١٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ أَحْسَنَ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ جُمَّتَهُ لَتَضْرِبُ إِلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ لَتَضْرِبُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ مِرَارًا مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ قَطُّ إِلَّا ضَحِكَ
