حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ
مُجَاهِدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فَذَكَرُوا الدَّجَّالَ ، فَقَالَ " إِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ " ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ قَالَ ذَاكَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ : " أَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَرَجُلٌ آدَمُ جَعْدٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ مَخْطُومٍ بِخُلْبَةٍ ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ إِذِ انْحَدَرَ فِي الْوَادِي يُلَبِّي " .
Narrated Mujahid: We were with Ibn `Abbas and the people mentioned Ad-Dajjal. Someone said, "The word 'Kafir' (unbeliever) is written in between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes." Ibn `Abbas said, "I have not heard the Prophet saying this, but he said, 'As regards Abraham, he looks like your companion (i.e. the Prophet, Muhammad), and as regards Moses, he is a brown curly haired man riding a camel and reigned with a strong jute rope, as if I am now looking at him getting down in the valley and saying, "Labbaik".'"

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) resembled our master Ibrahim (alayhis salam) in both character and appearance. That is why he said: Whoever wishes to see Ibrahim (alayhis salam), let him look at me.
(2)
The relevance of this hadith to the chapter heading is that it describes the hair of Musa (alayhis salam), stating that he had curly hair and his complexion was wheat-colored.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“It is as if I am still seeing him with the eye of imagination, riding a red camel, reciting the talbiyah as he descends into the valley.”
And Allah knows best.
