حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ الأَنْبِيَاءُ ، فَإِذَا مُوسَى ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ ، كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ ، رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ ، رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا صَاحِبُكُمْ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ ، وَرَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ ، رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا دَحْيَةُ " ، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ رُمْحٍ : دَحْيَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ .
