English translation

5234. It was narrated that Al-Barâ' said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was a man of average height with broad shoulders, a thick beard and a reddish complexion, and his hair came down to his earlobes. I saw him in a red Hullah and I never saw anything more handsome than him.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

5232 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجِلًا مَرْبُوعًا عَرِيضَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ، تَعْلُوهُ حُمْرَةٌ جُمَّتُهُ إِلَى شَحْمَتَيْ أُذُنَيْهِ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ»

Commentary

1. Concerning the details about the blessed hair of the beloved Prophet ﷺ, please see Hadith 5056, 5065. 2. ‘Red Hullah’: The term Hullah is used for two sheets made of the same cloth. One of them was fastened as a loin-cloth, while the other was draped on the upper part of the body. It is said that his Hullah had red in its pattern, not that it was entirely red, and Allāh knows best.
