Hadith 168

وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حميد وتقاربا في اللفظ ، قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا وَقَالَ عَبد ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِي ، لَقِيتُ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، فَنَعَتَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسِبْتُهُ ، قَالَ : مُضْطَرِبٌ رَجِلُ الرَّأْسِ ، كَأَنَّهُ مِنَ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ ، قَالَ : وَلَقِيتُ عِيسَى ، فَنَعَتَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا رَبْعَةٌ أَحْمَرُ ، كَأَنَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ يَعْنِي حَمَّامًا ، قَالَ : وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِهِ بِهِ ، قَالَ : فَأُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَيْنِ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا لَبَنٌ ، وَفِي الآخَرِ خَمْرٌ ، فَقِيلَ لِي : خُذْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ ، فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّبَنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : هُدِيتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَوْ أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ ، أَمَّا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: When I was taken for the night journey I met Moses (ؑ) peace be upon him). The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) gave his description thus: He was a man, I suppose-and he (the narrator) was somewhat doubtful (that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) observed): ( Moses (ؑ)) was a man erect in stature with straight hair on his head as it he was one of the men of the Shanu'a; and I met Jesus and the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) described him as one having a medium stature and a red complexion as if he had (just) come out of the bath He observed: I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and amongst his children I have the greatest resemblance with him. He said: There were brought to me two vessels. In one of them was milk and in the other one there was wine. And it was said to me: Select any one you like. So I selected the vessel containing milk and drank it. He (the angel) said: You have been guided on al-fitra or you have attained al-fitra. Had you selected wine, your Ummah would have been misled.

Bukhari — Hadith 3437
Narrated Hisham: From Ma`mar as below. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "I met Moses on the night of my Ascension to heaven." The Prophet then described him saying, as I think, "He was a tall person with lank hair as if he belonged to the people of the tribe of Shanu's.' The Prophet further said, "I met Jesus." The Prophet described him saying, "He was one of moderate height and was red-faced as if he had just come out of a bathroom. I saw Abraham whom I resembled more than any of his children did." The Prophet further said, "(That night) I was given two cups; one full of milk and the other full of wine. I was asked to take either of them which I liked, and I took the milk and drank it. On that it was said to me, 'You have taken the right path (religion). If you had taken the wine, your (Muslim) nation would have gone astray."
Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
➊
In some manuscripts of Sahih al-Bukhari, this narration is reported from Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu).

➋
In this hadith, it is stated regarding Isa (alayhis salam) that he was of medium stature and had a reddish complexion.
In another hadith it is mentioned:
The Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
Allah, the Exalted, showed me (in a dream) last night near the Ka‘bah. I saw a man who was of such a wheat-colored complexion that among those of wheat-colored complexion, there was none better than him.
The hair of his head hung below his earlobes and fell between his shoulders.
However, his hair was straight.
Water was dripping from his head.
He was performing tawaf of the House of Allah, placing both his hands on the shoulders of two men.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Ahadith al-Anbiya, Hadith: 3440)

➌
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was presented with the pure wine (sharab tahur) of Paradise, but in terms of this world, its interpretation is exactly as Jibril (alayhis salam) explained; otherwise, it is impossible that impure and filthy wine would be presented to him. Therefore, the wine that was presented should be understood as "sharab tahur," which is entirely befitting to your rank of Prophethood.
And Allah knows best.

Bukhari — Hadith 3394
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. Gabriel said, 'Drink whichever you like.' I took the milk and drank it. Gabriel said, 'You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.' "

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
In a narration from Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Musa (alayhis salam) was wheat-colored, tall in stature, and his hair was straight, as if he was a member of the tribe of Zutt.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Ahadith al-Anbiya, Hadith: 3438)

In the hadith of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) likened Musa (alayhis salam), in terms of height, to the people of the tribe of Shanu’ah. And in the narration from Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhuma), he was also described as resembling the people of the tribe of Zutt in terms of being tall, because the Abyssinians are tall.

There is no contradiction or opposition between these two hadiths.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 3130
´Narrated Abu Hurairah:` that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When I was taken on the Night of Isra I met Musa." He described him saying: "He was a man who was" and I think he said: "A thin man, whose hair was as if he was a man from Shanu'ah." He said: "I met 'Eisa" he described him saying: "Of average build, with a red face, as if he had just come out of the Dimas" meaning the bath-house. "And I saw Ibrahim" he said: "I am the one among his offspring that most resembles him" and he said: "I was brought two vessels, one of them containing milk and the other containing wine. I was told: 'Take whichever one of them you wish.' So I took the milk to drink from it. It was said to me: 'You were guided to the Fitrah' or: 'You chose the Fitrah, if you had take the wine your Ummah would have strayed.'"

That is, it would be afflicted with destruction and ruin because this is the very characteristic of wine.
