حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ قَالَ نا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ صِفْ لَنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلَا الْقَصِيرِ ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ مُشْرَبَ حُمْرَةٍ أَهْدَبَ الْأَشْفَارِ كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ وَإِذَا الْتَفَتَ الْتَفَتَ جَمِيعًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا ابْنُهُ وَلَا نَحْفَظُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ لَنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلَا الْقَصِيرِ ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ مُشْرَبَ حُمْرَةٍ أَهْدَبَ الْأَشْفَارِ كَثَّ اللِّحْيَةِ أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ وَإِذَا الْتَفَتَ الْتَفَتَ جَمِيعًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا ابْنُهُ وَلَا نَحْفَظُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ
English Translation
Hadrat Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) narrated: Ali was asked: "Describe the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) for us." He said: "He was neither tall nor short, large-headed, with a reddish tinge to his complexion, long eyelashes, thick beard, radiant complexion. When he walked, he leaned forward, and when he turned, he turned his whole body." This hadith is not known to have been narrated from Umar except by his son, and we do not preserve it except from the hadith of Khalid from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Umar from his father from his grandfather.
