English translation
3547. Narrated Rabī'a bin Abī 'Abdur-Raḥmān: I heard Anas bin Mālik describing the Prophet ﷺ saying, "He was of medium height amongst the people, neither tall nor short; he had a rosy complexion, neither absolutely white nor deep brown; his hair was neither completely curly nor quite lank. Divine Revelation was revealed to him when he was forty years old. He stayed ten years in Makkah receiving the Divine Revelation, and stayed in Al-Madīna for ten more years. When he expired, he had scarcely twenty white hair in his head and beard." Rabī'a said, "I saw some of his hair and it was red. When I asked about that, I was told that it turned red because of perfume." [See Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 3851]
