The Description of Imam Ahmad
Muḥammad b. ʿAbbās al-Naḥwī said: “I saw Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal with a handsome face, well-formed, رَأَيْتُ أَحْمَدَ بنَ حَنْبَلٍ حَسَنَ الوَجْهِ، رَبْعَةً، and dyeing his hair with henna that was not too dark. يَخْضِبُ بِالحِنَّاءِ خِضَاباً لَيْسَ بِالقَانِي، He had black hairs in his beard, فِي لِحْيَتِه شَعَرَاتٌ سُودٌ، and I saw his clothes extremely white. وَرَأَيْتُ ثِيَابَهُ غِلاَظاً بِيضاً، When I saw him, he was wearing a turban and an izār.” وَرَأَيْتُهُ مُعْتَمّاً، وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ. al-Ḏahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ 11/184 الذهبي، سير أعلام النبلاء ١١/١٨٤ https://shamela.ws/book/10906/7366 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]
