The Description of the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was described as being white, good-looking, and when he walked it looked like he was descending to a low ground.

Sa’id al-Jariri quoted Abu al-Tufail as saying: I saw the Messenger of Allah. I asked: How did you see him? He said: He was white, good-looking, and when he walked, it looked as if he was descending to a low ground.
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ خُلَيْفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبْيَضَ مَلِيحًا إِذَا مَشَى كَأَنَّمَا يَهْوِي فِي صَبُوبٍ
