Yusuf bin Mazin says that a man requested Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, "O Commander of the Faithful! Please describe to us the blessed appearance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him." He replied: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was not very tall; he was a little taller than medium height, but when he walked among people, he appeared to be the tallest. His complexion was radiant and fair. His blessed head was large, his forehead was bright and broad, his eyelashes were long, his blessed palms and feet were full. When he walked, he lifted his feet, as if descending a slope. The drops of sweat on his radiant face appeared like pearls. I have never seen anyone like him, neither before him nor after him. May my parents be sacrificed for him, peace and blessings be upon him.
