Someone's words, "So-and-so with the curly black hair" or someone "tall" or "short" when he intends to describe him and does not mean to slander him

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Sahih (Al-Albani)
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتِ‏:‏ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ‏:‏ بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ انْبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ‏؟‏ فَقَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ‏.‏
A'isha said, "A man asked for permission to come in to see the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet remarked, 'He is a bad brother of his tribe.' When the man came in, the Prophet was cheerful towards him. I asked the Prophet about that and he said, 'Allah does not love anyone who is obscene and coarse.'"
