ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ مُوسَى، وَعِيسَى، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ حَيْثُ رَآهُمْ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. Gabriel said, 'Drink whichever you like.' I took the milk and drank it. Gabriel said, 'You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.' "  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ رَأَيْتُ مُوسَى وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ رَجِلٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى فَإِذَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ رَبْعَةٌ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ وَأَنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﷺ بِهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَيْنِ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا لَبَنٌ وَفِي الآخَرِ خَمْرٌ فَقَالَ اشْرَبْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّبَنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَقِيلَ أَخَذْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ  

From Maʿmar as below. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I met Moses on the night of my Ascension to heaven." The Prophet ﷺ then described him saying, as I think, "He was a tall person with lank hair as if he belonged to the people of the tribe of Shanu's.' The Prophet ﷺ further said, "I met Jesus." The Prophet ﷺ described him saying, "He was one of moderate height and was red-faced as if he had just come out of a bathroom. I saw Abraham whom I resembled more than any of his children did." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "(That night) I was given two cups; one full of milk and the other full of wine. I was asked to take either of them which I liked, and I took the milk and drank it. On that it was said to me, 'You have taken the right path (religion). If you had taken the wine, your (Muslim) nation would have gone astray."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ لَقِيتُ مُوسَى قَالَ فَنَعَتَهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ مُضْطَرِبٌ رَجِلُ الرَّأْسِ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ قَالَ وَلَقِيتُ عِيسَى فَنَعَتَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَبْعَةٌ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ يَعْنِي الْحَمَّامَ وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِهِ بِهِ قَالَ وَأُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا لَبَنٌ وَالآخَرُ فِيهِ خَمْرٌ فَقِيلَ لِي خُذْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّبَنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَقِيلَ لِي هُدِيتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَوْ أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ  

When I was taken for the night journey I met Moses peace be upon him). The Apostle of Allah ﷺ gave his description thus: He was a man, I suppose-and he (the narrator) was somewhat doubtful (that the Prophet observed): (Moses) was a man erect in stature with straight hair on his head as it he was one of the men of the Shanu'a; and I met Jesus and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described him as one having a medium stature and a red complexion as if he had (just) come out of the bath He observed: I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and amongst his children I have the greatest resemblance with him. He said: There were brought to me two vessels. In one of them was milk and in the other one there was wine. And it was said to me: Select any one you like. So I selected the vessel containing milk and drank it. He (the angel) said: You have been guided on al-fitra or you have attained al-fitra. Had you selected wine, your Ummah would have been misled.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِي لَقِيتُ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَنَعَتَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ مُضْطَرِبٌ رَجِلُ الرَّأْسِ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ قَالَ وَلَقِيتُ عِيسَى فَنَعَتَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا رَبْعَةٌ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ يَعْنِي حَمَّامًا قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِهِ بِهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَيْنِ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا لَبَنٌ وَفِي الآخَرِ خَمْرٌ فَقِيلَ لِي خُذْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّبَنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَقَالَ هُدِيتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَوْ أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When I was taken on the Night of Isra I met Musa." He described him saying: "He was a man who was" and I think he said: "A thin man, whose hair was as if he was a man from Shanu'ah." He said: "I met 'Eisa" he described him saying: "Of average build, with a red face, as if he had just come out of the Dimas" meaning the bath-house. "And I saw Ibrahim" he said: "I am the one among his offspring that most resembles him" and he said: "I was brought two vessels, one of them containing milk and the other containing wine. I was told: 'Take whichever one of them you wish.' So I took the milk to drink from it. It was said to me: 'You were guided to the Fitrah' or: 'You chose the Fitrah, if you had take the wine your Ummah would have strayed.'"

"رأَيتْ إِبراهِيمَ، وموسى، وعيسى ببيت المقْدسِ، فرأَيت موسى رجلًا ضَرْبًا آدمَ بين الرجلين كأَنه من رجال شَنُوءَة، ورأَيتُ عيسى رجُلًا أَحْمر كأنما خَرج من ديماسٍ، وأَنا أَشبه بنى إِبراهيم به، وأُتيت بِإِناءِ خَمْرٍ، وإِناءِ لَبنٍ، فَأَخذْتُ اللبنَ، فقال جبريلُ: هُدِيتَ الفِطْرةَ، لَوْ أخَذْت الخمر غَوتْ أُمتُكَ".  

"لَيلَةَ أسْرِى بِي رَأيتُ مُوسَى وَإِذَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ، رَجِلٌ كَأنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ، وَرَأَيتُ عِيسَى فَإِذَا هُوَ رَجُل رَبْعَةٌ أحْمَرُ كَأنَّمَا خرَجَ مِنْ دِيماسٍ، وَرَأيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِهِ بِهِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَينِ في أَحَدِهِمَا لَبَنٌ، وَفِي الآخَرِ خَمْرٌ، فَقِيلَ لِي: اشْرَبْ أيهُمَا شئْتَ، فَأخذْتُ اللبنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ، فَقِيلَ لِي: أصَبْت الفطرَةَ، أمَّا إِنَّك لَوْ أخَذْتَ الخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أمتكَ".
