Hadith 165
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ مُوسَى : آدَمُ طُوَالٌ ، كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ ، وَقَالَ عِيسَى : جَعْدٌ مَرْبُوعٌ ، وَذَكَرَ مَالِكًا خَازِنَ جَهَنَّمَ ، وَذَكَرَ الدَّجَّالَ " .
Qatada reported that he heard Abu al-'Aliya saying that the cousin of your Prophet (ﷺ) , i. e. Ibn Abbas (RA) , told him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , while narrating his night journey observed: Musa (peace be upon him) was a man of high stature as if he was of the people of the Shanu'a (tribe), and Jesus was a well-built person having curly hair. He also mentioned Malik, the guardian of Hell, and Dajjal.

وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي عَلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، رَجُلٌ آدَمُ طُوَالٌ جَعْدٌ ، كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ مَرْبُوعَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ ، وَالْبَيَاضِ سَبِطَ الرَّأْسِ ، وَأُرِيَ مَالِكًا خَازِنَ النَّارِ ، وَالدَّجَّالَ فِي آيَاتٍ أَرَاهُنَّ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَلَا تَكُنْ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِنْ لِقَائِهِ " ، قَالَ : كَانَ قَتَادَةُ يُفَسِّرُهَا ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ لَقِيَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام .
Abu al-'Aliya reported: Ibn Abbas (RA) , the son of your Prophet's uncle, told us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had observed: On the night of my night journey I passed by Moses (ؑ) bin 'Imran (peace be upon him), a man light brown in complexion, tall. well-built as if he was one of the men of the Shanu'a, and saw Jesus son of Mary as a medium-statured man with white and red complexion and crisp hair, and I was shown Malik the guardian of Fire, and Dajjal amongst the signs which were shown to me by Allah. He (the narrator) observed: Then do not doubt his (i. e. of the Holy Prophet) meeting with him ( Moses (ؑ)). Qatada elucidated it thus: Verily the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , met Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him).
