Sirat Ibn Hisham 469
The Messenger of God’s ﷺ description of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus
[ وَصْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَزَعَمَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَفَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى حِينَ رَآهُمْ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا إبْرَاهِيمُ، فَلَمْ أَرَ رَجُلًا أَشْبَهَ ( قَطُّ ) بِصَاحِبِكُمْ، وَلَا صَاحِبُكُمْ أَشْبَهُ بِهِ مِنْهُ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَرَجُلٌ آدَمُ طَوِيلٌ ضَرْبٌ جَعْدٌ أَقْنَى كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَأَمَّا عِيسَى بْنُ مَرْيَمَ، فَرَجُلٌ أَحْمَرُ، بَيْنَ الْقَصِيرِ وَالطَّوِيلِ، سَبْطُ الشَّعَرِ، كَثِيرُ خِيلَانِ الْوَجْهِ، كَأَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ، تَخَالُ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ مَاءً، وَلَيْسَ بِهِ مَاءٌ، أَشْبَهُ رِجَالِكُمْ بِهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: Al-Zuhrī claimed, on the authority of Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described to his companions Ibrāhīm, Mūsā, and ʿĪsā when he saw them on that night. He said: "As for Ibrāhīm, I have never seen a man more resembling your companion, nor is your companion more resembling him than he. As for Mūsā, he was a brown-skinned, tall, lean man with curly hair and a hooked nose, as if he were from the men of Shanūʾah. As for ʿĪsā son of Maryam, he was a ruddy man, between short and tall, with lank hair and many moles on his face, as if he had just come out of a bathhouse—you would think his head was dripping water, though there was no water on it. The man among you most resembling him is ʿUrwah b. Masʿūd al-Thaqafī."
