حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " رَأَيْتُ عِيسَى ومُوسَى وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَأَمَّا عِيسَى فَأَحْمَرُ جَعْدٌ عَرِيضُ الصَّدْرِ ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَآدَمُ جَسِيمٌ سَبْطٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ الزُّطِّ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: 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."

Hadith Footnote:
Zutt is a tribe from Sudan or from among the Jews, whose people are thin and tall in stature.
The word "Zutt" has evolved into "Jat," which is a well-known community in India, belonging to both Hindu and Muslim religions.
In the narration, "‘an Mujahid ‘an Ibn ‘Umar," the transmitters have erred; the correct version is "‘an Mujahid ‘an Ibn ‘Abbas."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Previously, in the hadith, the attribute of Musa (alayhis salam) as "mudtarib" was mentioned, which means having a light and slender body, and this attribute is contrary to "jasim" (well-built) which is mentioned in this hadith.
In reality, physique sometimes refers to stoutness and sometimes to being tall in stature. Musa (alayhis salam) was tall, therefore the application of "jasim" to him is also correct. That is why it is said:
It is as if he was from among the people of the tribe of Zutt, because these people are from Habasha (Abyssinia) and they are known for being tall.
➋
It should be clear that "Zutt" is actually the Arabized form of "Jat," who are also called "Jaat."
In the Indian subcontinent, these people are famous for their tall stature, physique, and strength.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Shanu’, is the name of an Arab tribe whose people were tall in stature.
➋
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah, as usual, has established from this hadith that angels are not merely “abstract intellects” but are conscious beings.
They carry out Allah’s commands and have intense aversion to sins.
This is the reason that the Dajjal, who is the source of evil, will not be allowed to enter Madinah Tayyibah, because Madinah Tayyibah is the source of the light of guidance, and Dajjal will not be able to pollute it.
Wallahu al-musta‘an.

Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Sibt:
Both fathah and kasrah can occur on the letter "ba",
and if the "ba" is read as sukun, then both fathah and kasrah can occur on the letter "sin".
The meaning is: smooth and straight, in which there is no waviness.
