حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ

يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَلِيعَ الْفَمِ، أَشْكَلَ الْعَيْنِ، مَنْهُوسَ الْعَقِبِ»

“I heard Jabir ibn Samurah say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was dali al-fam, ashkal al-‘ain, manhus al-‘aqib.’ Shuba said: ‘I asked Simak: ‘What is dali al-fam?’ He replied: ‘ endowed with a lean heel.’’’’”
