3623. Anas bin Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was not very tall nor was he [very] short, nor was he pale white, nor was he brown, nor was the wave of his hair completely curly nor straight. Allāh sent him at the beginning of his forties and he stayed in Makkah for ten years, and in Al-Madīnah for ten years. And Allāh took him at the beginning of his sixties, and there were not more than twenty white hairs on his head or in his beard.” (Sahīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth Hasan Sahīh.

٣٦٢٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ ‌مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ ‌رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ‌أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: «لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ» وَلَا بِالْقَصِيرِ، وَلَا بِالْأَبْيَضِ الْأَمْهَقِ وَلَا بِالْآدَمِ، وَلَيْسَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلَا بِالسَّبْطِ، بَعَثَهُ اللهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا، وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعَرَةً بَيْضَاءَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
