3649. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Prophets were presented to me, and Mūsā was a thin man, it was as if he was from the men of Shanū'ah. And I saw 'Eisā bin Mariam, and the closest of the people in resemblance to him, from those I have seen, is 'Urwah bin Mas'ūd. And I saw Ibrāhīm, and the closest of the people in resemblance to him, from those I have seen, is your companion" – meaning himself – "And I saw Jibrīl, and the closest of the people in resemblance to him, from those I have seen, is Dihyah." [And he is Ibn Khalifah Al-Kalbi.] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.

٣٦٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ،» فَإِذَا مُوسَى ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ، وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى بْنَ مَرْيَمَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا صَاحِبُكُمْ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ، وَرَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا دِحْيَةُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.
