٣٦٤٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ‌سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَلِيعَ» الْفَمِ، أَشْكَلَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، مَنْهُوسَ الْعَقِبِ قَالَ ‌شُعْبَةُ : قُلْتُ لِسِمَاكٍ: مَا ضَلِيعُ الْفَمِ؟ قَالَ: وَاسِعُ الْفَمِ، قُلْتُ: مَا أَشْكَلُ الْعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: طَوِيلُ شَقِّ الْعَيْنِ. قُلْتُ: مَا مَنْهُوسُ الْعَقِبِ؟ قَالَ: قَلِيلُ اللَّحْمِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
