وكان رضي ﷲ عنه رجالً آدم شديد األدمة ثقيل العينين عظيمھما، ذا بطن أصلع
ربعة إلى القصر ال يخضب
* Ibn Asaakir says in Taarikh Dimisq:
ً
، وقال زھير بْن معاوية : كان علي يكنى أبا قاسم ، وكان رجال آدم شديد األدمة
َ َ
ثقيل العينين عظيمھما ، ذا بطن ، أصلع ، وھو إلى قصر أقرب ، وكان أبيض
، الرأس واللحية
* Zuhair ibn Muawia said:
"Ali had the kunya Abu Qaasim and he was shadid al-udma with
big, heavy eyes, a protruding stomach, bald, leaned toward
shortness, and he had white hair and a white beard."
Bear in mind that the last description above was relating to Ali
Ibn Abu Talib when he was a very mature man ( Shaik ) which
would be 50+ in Arab culture.
As you can see Ali Ibn Abu Talib was not only an Afro-Arab he
was a very dark skinned Arab...darker than most people today
who call themselves ‘black’.
Ask the Deniers of the Truth to explain how is it that Ali ibn Abu
Talib and Bilal ibn Rabah were both described as having the
same complexion if blacks were only slaves and Arabs were pale
skinned and Bilal was one of a few only negroes in Arabia at the
time?...ask them to explain that to you!
