Physical Description of Allah's Messenger

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the physical description of Allah's Messenger.

Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger and there is one amongst the people of the earth who (are living at the present time and) had seen him except me. I said to him: How did you find him? He said: He had an elegant white color, and he was of an average height.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ رَآهُ غَيْرِي ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَكَيْفَ رَأَيْتَهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبْيَضَ مَلِيحًا مُقَصَّدًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the physical description of Allah's Messenger. Abu Tufail reported that he saw Allah's Messenger and there was no one else on earth who had seen him except him. He asked how he found him and was told that he had an elegant white color and was of an average height. This shows us that we should not judge people by their physical appearance but rather by their character and deeds as it is what matters most in the eyes of Allah. We should also strive to emulate the character traits of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in order to be successful in this life and hereafter.
