Jabir ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had some gray hair 1 at the front of his head and beard. When he applied oil, it was not noticeable, but when his hair was unkempt, it was visible. He had thick beard hair. A man said, ‘His face was like a sword.’ He replied, ‘No, it was like the sun and the moon, and it was rounded.’ I saw the seal near his shoulder, like a pigeon’s egg, resembling his body.”
