Question:

Who is the companion who most resembles ‘Eesaa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), may Allaah exalt their mention?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

The companion who most resembles 'Eesaa (Jesus), may Allaah exalt hi mention, is 'Urwah Ibn Mas’ood  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him. The evidence is the narration reported by Imaams Muslim and At-Tirmithi may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them that Jaabir  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him narrated that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "I was shown the Prophets in front of me, and Moosaa  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention resembles the men of the tribe of Shanu’ah, and I saw ‘Eesaa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), may Allaah exalt their mention, and the person who resembles him most is ‘Urwah Ibn Mas’ood, and I saw Ibraaheem  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him and the person who resembles him most is your companion- referring to himself  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) and I saw Jibreel (the angel Gabriel), and the person who resembles him most is Dihyah.

Allaah Knows best.
