SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 55: PROPHETS
The Prophet said, “I met Moses on the night of my Ascension to heaven.” The Prophet then de –
scribed 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 further said, “I met Jesus.” The Prophet 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 Abra –
ham whom I resembled more than any of his children did.” The Prophet 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.”

Volume 4 Book 55 Hadith 649

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 649:
Narrated Abdullah:
The Prophet mentioned the Massiah Ad-Dajjal in front of the people saying, Allah is not one eyed
while Messsiah, Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a bulging out grape. While
sleeping near the Ka’ba last night, I saw in my dream a man of brown color the best one can see
amongst brown color and his hair was long that it fell between his shoulders. His hair was lank and
water was dribbling from his head and he was placing his hands on the shoulders of two men while
circumambulating the Kaba. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They replied, ‘This is Jesus, son of Mary.’ Behind
him I saw a man who had very curly hair and was blind in the right eye, resembling Ibn Qatan (i.e.
an infidel) in appearance. He was placing his hands on the shoulders of a person while performing
Tawaf around the Ka’ba. I asked, ‘Who is this? ‘They replied, ‘The Masih, Ad-Dajjal.’ “

Narrated Salim from his father:
No, By Allah, the Prophet did not tell that Jesus was of red complexion but said, “While I was
asleep circumambulating the Ka’ba (in my dream), suddenly I saw a man of brown complexion and
lank hair walking between two men, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, ‘Who is this?’
The people said, ‘He is the son of Mary.’ Then I looked behind and I saw a red-complexioned, fat,
curly-haired man, blind in the right eye which looked like a bulging out grape. I asked, ‘Who is this?’
They replied, ‘He is Ad-Dajjal.’ The one who resembled to him among the people, was Ibn Qatar.”
