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.”
