Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated: The Messenger of Allah (may peace<br />
be upon him) said: When I was taken for the Night Journey I met Moses (peace be upon<br />
him). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) gave his description thus: He was a<br />
man of an erect stature with straight (the narrator is doubtful regarding the word<br />
"straight") hair on his head as if he was one of the men of the Shanu'ah; and I met Jesus and<br />
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) described him as one having a medium<br />
stature and a red complexion as if he had (just) come out of the bath. He observed: I<br />
saw Abraham (peace be upon him) and among his children I have the greatest resemblance<br />
with him. He said: There were brought to me two vessels. In one of them was milk and in<br />
the other one there was wine. And it was said to me: Select any one you like. So I selected<br />
the vessel containing milk and drank it. He (the angel) said: You have been guided on the<br />
natural disposition or you have attained the natural disposition. Had you selected wine,<br />
your Ummah would have been misled.<br />

the Quraish were asking me about my Night Journey. I was asked about things pertaining<br />
to Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) which I could not preserve (in my mind). I was very much<br />
vexed, so vexed as I had never been before. Then Allah raised it (Bait Al-Maqdis) before my<br />
eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they questioned<br />
me. I also saw myself (in this Journey) among the group of Messengers. I sawMoses saying<br />
the Prayer and found him to be a well-built man as if he was a man of the tribe of Shanu'ah.<br />
I saw Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) offering the Prayer, of all of men he had the<br />
closest resemblance with 'Urwah bin Mas'ud Al-Thaqafi. I saw Abraham(peace be upon<br />
him) offering the Prayer; he had the closest resemblance with your companion (the
