English narration

Narrated by البراء بن عازب الأنصاري

Narrated Al-Bara: I did not see any man with locks hanging down to shoulders in red robe more beautiful than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Muhammad bin Sulaiman added: He had hair which touched his shoulders. Abu Dawud said: Isra'il also transmitted it in a similar way from Abu Ishaq saying: " (his hair) touched his shoulders". Shubah added: (His hair) reached the lobes of his ears.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : "

مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ ذِي لِمَّةٍ أَحْسَنَ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

" ، زَادَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَهُ شَعْرٌ يَضْرِبُ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : كَذَا رَوَاهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : يَضْرِبُ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ : يَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنَيْهِ .
