The looks of Imam Ali are very similar to those reported about the looks of Sayyiduna Muhammad, the Holy Messenger, Blessings be upon him and his Ahlul-Bayt. This is natural as they both from Bani Hashim clan.
The Holy Messenger frequently declared that Ali was his own brother, which in Arabic refers to being from the same substance, physically, morally, intellectually and spiritually.
Imam Ali narrated, the Messenger of Allah said, "You have my likeness both in my looks and in my manners, and you are from the same tree that I come from". (al-Khatib, al-Hakim)
Ali's medium height was almost the same as the height of the Holy Messenger. People used to say when we saw Ali walking from behind, we could not tell whether he was Ali or the Messenger of Allah until he turned his face. Like the Holy prophet, Ali had a big head and a bright white face with handsome features. He had firm and sharp eyes that could leave impressive impact on anyone he looks at. He had a straight nose and well-formed mouth. He had a striking husk in his voice. His neck was wide and long shining like a spotless silver vessel.
He was extremely handsome, like the full moon, and was full of vigour. He had thick black hair, which started receding and greying towards the later years of his blessed life. He had a thick black beard that remained luxuriant but later turned grey and he often dyed it dark red. Ali had a strong wide arms and broad shoulders, and a wide chest and a muscular belly. He had strong athletic legs that were firm and lion-like when he walked.
