Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): He said, "No child spoke in the cradle except for three children: one was Jesus (peace be upon him), the second was a man named Jurayj among the Children of Israel. He was praying when his mother came and called him. He thought to himself, 'Should I continue praying or respond to my mother?' (He did not respond.) His mother said, 'O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees the faces of immoral women (and has to deal with them).' Then it happened that Jurayj was in his place of worship when a (prostitute) woman came and wanted to commit adultery with him, but Jurayj refused. Then she went to a shepherd, committed adultery with him, and gave birth to a boy. People asked her, 'Where did you get this boy from?' She said, 'He is from Jurayj.' Hearing this, people became very angry, saying, 'How could such a devout man commit adultery?' They came and destroyed his place of worship, brought him down, and insulted him. Jurayj performed ablution, prayed, then came to the child (who was born) and asked him, 'Who is your father?' The child (spoke at such a young age and) said, 'My father is so-and-so, the shepherd.' Seeing this, the people were ashamed and said to Jurayj, 'We will rebuild your place of worship with gold.' He said, 'No, build it with mud.' The third was a woman among the Children of Israel who was breastfeeding her child. A very handsome, well-dressed rider passed by. The woman, seeing him, said, 'O Allah! Make my son like this rider.' Upon hearing this, the child left his mother's breast, turned towards the rider, and said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.' After saying this, he started suckling his mother's breast again." Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It is as if I am seeing the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) at that moment, showing with his finger how the child started suckling the breast." Then a slave girl passed by (whom people were beating). The woman said, 'O Allah! Do not make my son like her.' Hearing this, the child again left the breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like this slave girl.' At that moment, the woman asked her child, 'What is this matter? (Why do you not want to be like the handsome rider, but want to be like this humiliated slave girl?)' He said, 'This rider who passed by is a tyrant among the oppressors, and this slave girl (is innocent); people are falsely accusing her, saying she has stolen, committed adultery, but she has done nothing.'"

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I saw (on the night of Mi'raj) 'Isa, Musa, and Ibrahim (peace be upon them). 'Isa (peace be upon him) was of reddish complexion, with curly hair and a broad chest, and Musa (peace be upon him) was wheat-colored, with long straight hair, resembling the people of the Zutt."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw myself in a dream at night near the Ka'bah (and I saw that) a man of very good wheat-colored complexion, whose hair was straight and reached his shoulders (because of combing), and water was dripping from his head, was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah with his hands placed on the shoulders of two men. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'This is the Messiah, son of Maryam (peace be upon him).' Then behind him I saw another man with very curly hair and a blind right eye. Of all the people I have seen, he most resembled Abdul Uzza bin Qatan (who died in the period of ignorance). He was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah with his hands placed on the shoulders of a man. So I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'This is the Messiah Dajjal.'"

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates in another narration that: By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say that Isa (peace be upon him) was red in complexion, but he said: "I was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah in a dream (when I saw) a man of wheat-colored complexion, with straight hair, leaning on the shoulders of two men, water was dripping or flowing from his head. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'This is Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him).' I looked further and saw a man with a red complexion, stout, with curly hair, blind in the right eye, his eye looked like a swollen grape. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'This is Dajjal, and among the people, (Abdul Uzza) ibn Qatan most resembles him.'"

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "I am the closest of all people to Jesus, son of Mary. All the prophets are like paternal brothers (their fathers are one, meaning their beliefs are the same, but their mothers are different, meaning their laws are different). There is no prophet between me and Jesus (peace be upon him)."

Narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I am the closest of all people to Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him), in this world and the Hereafter. The prophets are all brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion (belief) is one."

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) saw a man stealing and said to him, 'Did you steal?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, besides Whom there is no true deity.' Isa (peace be upon him) said, 'I believe in Allah and I deny my eyes.'"

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Do not elevate me (in praise) as much as the Christians elevated Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him); I am only Allah's servant and nothing more. So say: Allah's servant and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)."
