Jami at-Tirmidhi 3623 (Book 49, Hadith 19) #29281
Physical Description of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the physical description of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his age when he passed away.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: "The Messenger of Allah 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. Allah sent him at the beginning of his forties and he stayed in Makkah for ten years, and in Al-Madinah for ten years. And Allah took him at the beginning of his sixties, and there were not more than twenty white hairs on his head or in his beard".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، وَحَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ الْمُتَرَدِّدِ وَلاَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ وَلاَ بِالآدَمِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبِطِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the physical description of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his age when he passed away. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was neither very tall nor short in height, nor pale white nor brown in complexion. His hair was neither completely curly nor straight. He was sent by Allah at the beginning of his forties and stayed in Makkah for ten years and then moved to Madinah where he stayed for another ten years before passing away at the beginning of his sixties with not more than twenty white hairs on his head or beard. This hadith teaches us that we should be content with whatever physical features we have been blessed with as it is a sign from Allah that He loves us just as He loved His beloved messenger ﷺ who did not possess any extraordinary features but still achieved greatness through His obedience to Allah's commands and teachings.
