Volume 4, Book 55, Number 645:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a
man from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called
him. He said (to himself), ‘Shall I answer her or keep on praying?” (He went on praying) and did not
answer her, his mother said, “O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.” So while
he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a
shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later
she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him
and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablu –
tion and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, ‘O child! Who is your father?’ The child
replied, ‘The shepherd.’ (After hearing this) the people said, ‘We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,’
but he said, ‘No, of nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani
Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, ‘O Allah !
Make my child like him.’ On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, ‘O Allah! Do not
make me like him.’ The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, “As if I
were now looking at the Prophet sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.”) After a while the
people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child’s mother) said, ‘O Allah! Do not make my
child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, ‘O Allah! Make me like her.’
When she asked why, the child replied, ‘The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely
accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse.”

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.”

Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet said, “I saw Moses, Jesus and Abraham (on the night of my Ascension to the heavens).
Jesus was of red complexion, curly hair and a broad chest. Moses was of brown complexion, straight
hair and tall stature as if he was from the people of Az-Zutt.”
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.’ “
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 650:
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.”
