حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ عَظِيمَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ هَدِبَ الْأَشْفَارِ قَالَ حَسَنٌ الشِّفَارِ مُشْرَبَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ بِحُمْرَةٍ كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ إِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّمَا يَمْشِي فِي صُعُدٍ قَالَ حَسَنٌ تَكَفَّأَ وَإِذَا الْتَفَتَ الْتَفَتَ جَمِيعًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 796
It was narrated from Muhammad bin 'Ali (RA), that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had a large head, big eyes with long eyelashes, reddish eves, a thick beard, a pinkish colour and large hands and feet; when he walked, it was as if he was walking uphill - al-Hasan said: He leaned forward - and when he turned, he turned with his whole body.
