أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ" أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ كَأَنَّ عَرَقَهُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ، وَمَا مَسِسْتُ حَرِيرَةً وَلَا دِيبَاجَةً أَلْيَنَ مِنْ كَفِّهِ، وَلَا شَمِمْتُ رَائِحَةً قَطُّ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ رَائِحَتِهِ : مِسْكَةً وَلَا غَيْرَهَا "

Hajjaj bin Minhal told us, Hammad bin Salamah told us, Thabit told us, on the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was “Peace and blessings of God be upon him.” His color became bright, as if his veins were pearls. When he walked, he would be bent over, and I have never touched a garment or brocade softer than his palm, nor have I smelled anything softer than his palm. The scent of a cat is better than its scent: musk or anything else.”
