Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ.
English Translation
Anas said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was not excessively tall or short, not extremely white or dark-complexioned, and his hair was neither completely straight nor completely curly. Allah sent him as a messenger at the age of forty. He stayed in Makkah for ten years and in Madinah for ten years. Allah took him at the age of sixty, and there were not twenty white hairs in his head and beard.'
