Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was neither very tall nor short, neither white like lime nor very wheat-colored, and his hair, peace and blessings be upon him, was neither very curly nor very straight. When he, peace and blessings be upon him, reached the age of forty, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, granted him prophethood. After prophethood, he, peace and blessings be upon him, stayed in Makkah for ten years and in Madinah for ten years, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away at the age of sixty. At that time, there were not even twenty white hairs on his, peace and blessings be upon him, head and beard.
