When Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) used to describe the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would say: He had a well-built body. His complexion was white with a reddish tinge. His beard was thick. There was a thin line of hair from his chest to his navel. Both his hands and feet were fleshy. When he walked, it seemed as if he was descending swiftly from a height. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him.
