It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prophets were presented before me. Musa (peace be upon him) was a man of moderate stature; he looked like the people of the Shanu’ah tribe. I saw ‘Isa (peace be upon him); he resembled ‘Urwah bin Mas‘ud the most. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him); he resembled your own companion the most—by this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant himself. And I saw Jibril (peace be upon him); he resembled Dihyah the most.
