The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was neither short nor tall. He had a large head and beard, thick palms and feet, and large joints. His face had a reddish tinge, and a fine line of hair ran down his chest to his navel. When he walked, he leaned forward as though descending from a rock. I have never seen anyone like him, neither before him nor after him ﷺ.Abu Nadr said, "the masrubah," and said, "as though descending from a slope."Abu Qatan said, "the masrubah."Yazid said, "the masrubah."
حدثنا وكيع حدثنا مجمع بن يحيى عن عبد الله بن عمران الأنصاري عن علي والمسعودي عن عثمان بن عبد الله بن هرمز عن نافع بن جبير
كان رسول الله ﷺ ليس بالقصير ولا بالطويل ضخم الرأس واللحية شثن الكفين والقدمين ضخم الكراديس مشربا وجهه حمرة طويل المسربة إذا مشى تكفأ تكفؤا كأنما يتقلع من صخر لم أر قبله ولا بعده مثله ﷺ وقال أبو النضر المسربة وقال كأنما ينحط من صبب وقال أبو قطن المسربة وقال يزيد المسربة
This isnad is problematic. In reality it is two isnads, as I conclude after research. Waki narrated it from Mujammi bin Yahya from Abdullah bin Imran Ansari from Ali, and he also narrated it from Masudi from Uthman bin Abdullah bin Hurmuz from Nafi bin Jubayr from Ali.The second isnad is the sahih one, and it has already appeared in the Musnad, both abridged and in full, at 744, 746, 944, 946, 947. So the difficulty lies in the first isnad.Mujammi bin Yahya bin Yazid bin Jariya is trustworthy. Abu Dawud and others considered him trustworthy, and Bukhari gave him an entry in Kabir 4/1/41, mentioning that Waki narrated from him without mentioning any criticism of him. He narrates from senior tabiin, such as Abu Umama bin Sahl bin Hunayf. As for his teacher Abdullah bin Imran Ansari, I have not found any biography or mention of him. If the name has not been distorted, then perhaps he is one of the tabiin for whom I could not find a biography.Takaffa, without hamza, as it is established in K, and as it passed previously at 746, while it is established in H as takaffa takaffa with hamza.As for his statement, "Abu Nadr said, al-Musriyah," and so on, this is how it appears in the sources, and I do not know the reason for it, unless he means to indicate the vocalization of the ra, for al-Musriyah can be pronounced with the ra either with damma or with fatha. Abu Nadr is Hashim bin Qasim, a teacher of Ahmad.As for his statement, "and he said, as if he were descending," to the end of the hadith, it is not mentioned in K.Abu Qatan, with fatha on the qaf and the ta, is Amr bin Haytham bin Qatan Basri, and he is trustworthy, one of Ahmad's teachers.Yazid is Yazid bin Harun, also one of Ahmad's teachers, and in H it reads "Abu Yazid," which is an error.
