Description of the Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him)
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet was neither conspicuously tall, nor short; neither very white, nor tawny. His hair was neither much curled, nor very straight. Allah sent him (as an Apostle) at the age of forty (and after that) he stayed for ten years in Mecca, and for ten more years in Medina. Allah took him unto Him at the age of sixty, and he scarcely had ten white hairs on his head and in his beard [Bukhari, 5519].

JazakAllahu Khairan to brother Mahmood Saad who brought this hadith into our attention.
Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allah’s Apostle started receiving the Divine Inspiration at the age of forty. Then he stayed in Mecca for thirteen years, receiving the Divine Revelation. Then he was ordered to migrate and he lived as an Emigrant for ten years and then died at the age of sixty-three (years). (Bukhari, 3641)
