عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبْعَةً لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلا بِالْقَصِيرِ حَسَنَ الْجِسْمِ وَکَانَ شَعَرُهُ لَيْسَ بِجَعْدٍ وَلا سَبْطٍ أَسْمَرَ اللَّوْنِ إِذَا مَشَی يَتَکَفَّأُ۔

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik رضي الله عنه said: The Noble Prophet ﷺ was of medium height—neither very tall nor short. His blessed body was extremely handsome. His hair was neither very curly nor completely straight. His blessed complexion was wheat-colored, and when he walked, he leaned forward slightly.

Narration

The blessed stature of the Holy Prophet ﷺ was neither very tall nor very short. However, when he ﷺ walked alone, he was considered of medium height. That is, when he walked, it was said that he was of average height. Despite this, when a tall person walked with him ﷺ, it was a miracle of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ that he appeared taller. Sometimes, when two tall people were on his right and left, he ﷺ, as a miracle, appeared taller than them. When those two separated from him ﷺ, they were considered tall, and the Emperor of both worlds ﷺ was considered of medium height." "Ala Hazrat, Imam of Ahl-e-Sunnat, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan رحمۃ اللہ علیہ says:" "Your blessed stature is a branch of the rosebush of mercy." "Having made it a branch of mercy, your Lord created it.
