Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " عُرِضَ عَلَىَّ الأَنْبِيَاءُ فَإِذَا مُوسَى ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا صَاحِبُكُمْ نَفْسَهُ وَرَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ شَبَهًا دِحْيَةُ " . هُوَ ابْنُ خَلِيفَةَ الْكَلْبِيُّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
Narrated Jabir: That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "The Prophets Were Presented To Me, And Musa Was A Thin Man, It Was As If He Was From The Men Of Shanu'Ah. And I Saw 'Eisa Bin Mariam, And The Closest Of The People In Resemblance To Him. From Those I Have Seen, Is 'Urwah Bin Mas'Ud. And I Saw Ibrahim, And The Closest Of The People In Resemblance To Him, From Those I Have Seen, Is Your Companion" - Meaning Himself - "And I Saw Jibril, And The Closest Of The People In Resemblance To Him, From Those I Have Seen, Is Dihyah." [And He Is Ibn Khalifah Al-Kalbi.]
