In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

'Ali ibn Abu Talib, may God be pleased with him, would describe the Prophet as follows :

He was neither too tall nor too short
He was of average height of his people
His hair was not curly or fully straight either. It was in between
He was not overweight
His cheeks were not too chubby
His face was rounded and white verging on red
The white of his eyes was clear white and his pupils were black
His eyelashes were long
His bones were slim
His body was not hairy
He had a line of thin hair on his chest
His hands and feet were big
When he walked, he was as if walking downhill and his feet off the ground
When he turned, he would turn all his body
There was the seal of prophethood between his two shoulders
He was the seal of the chain of the prophets, he was the last one
He was the most generous of all people at heart
He was the most truthful of all people in speech
He was the softest in temperament
He knew the best matters (had perfect relations with others) among his people
One would quiver at seeing him all of a sudden: once one knew him he would like him
'Ali ibn Abu Talib, may God be pleased with him says:
A person who saw the Prophet would say, I never saw anyone alike neither before nor after him
O God, bestow mercy and security upon Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy and the intercessor for the community, his most clean and pure family and Companions

Amin
