Hadith Number: 5790
الفصل الثاني 5790 - عن علي بن ابي طالب، قال: كان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ليس بالطويل ولا بالقصير ، ضخم الراس واللحية، شثن الكفين والقدمين، مشربا حمرة، ضخم الكراديس، طويل المسربة، إذا مشى تكفا تكفؤا كانما ينحط من صبب، لم ار قبله ولا بعده مثله - صلى الله عليه وسلم. رواه الترمذي، وقال: هذا حديث حسن صحيح.
`Ali b. Abu Talib said:God's messenger was neither tall nor short, he had a large head and beard, the palms of his hands and his feet were calloused, he had a reddish tinge, he had large joints, the hair on his breast was long, and when he walked, he bent forward as though he were descending a slope. I have never seen anyone like him before or since. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.
