[Machine] Someone told me that whoever saw Bilal would describe him as a man who was very dark-skinned, thin and tall. He had abundant light hair, with fine eyebrows. He had a lot of freckles and his face never changed. Bilal witnessed Badr, Uhud, the trench, and all the other important events alongside the Messenger of Allah, and he was as close to the Messenger of Allah as Ubaydah ibn al-Harith ibn Abdul-Muttalib.  

حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ رَأَى بِلَالًا «كَانَ رَجُلًا شَدِيدَ الْأَدَمَةِ نَحِيفًا طُوَالًا أَحْنَأَ لَهُ شَعْرٌ كَثِيرٌ خَفِيفُ الْعَارِضَيْنِ بِهِ شَمَطٌ كَثِيرٌ وَلَا يُغَيِّرُ وَشَهِدَ بِلَالٌ بَدْرًا وَأُحُدًا وَالْخَنْدَقَ وَالْمَشَاهِدَ كُلَّهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ»
