QuizTime(89)  Who was that Sahabi looks like a Eesaa (Jesus)(pbuh), the most ?

 

 

Ans: 'Urwah Ibn Mas’ood(May Allah please with him).

The companion who most resembles 'Eesaa (Jesus), may Allaah exalt hi mention, is 'Urwah Ibn Mas’ood(pbuh).  The evidence is the narration reported by Imaams Muslim and At-Tirmithi, that Jaabir(r.a) narrated that the Prophet(Pbuh) said: "I was shown the Prophets in front of me, and Moosaa (pbuh) 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(Pbuh) and the person who resembles him most is your companion- referring to himself (Pbuh), and I saw Jibreel (the angel Gabriel), and the person who resembles him most is Dihyah."

[Sahih muslim Hadith 423]

Urwah ibn Mas'ud(r.a) was a Thaqif'i chieftain of Taif who became a companion of Muhammad(pbuh). He was one of the first people from his tribe to accept Islam, and he was killed by his fellow chieftains while preaching Islam in his home city. He was one of the notables of Arabia who entered the negotiations regarding the peace of Hudaybiyah on behalf of Quraysh.

 

Allah knows the best.
