Descriptions of Prophets Ibrahim and Musa

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the description of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Musa, and how they are seen by the people.

It is narrated on the authority of Mujahid that he said: We were with Ibn 'Abbas and (the people) talked about al-Dajjal. (One of them remarked. There is written between his eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel). The narrator said: Ibn 'Abbas remarked: I did not hear him (the Holy Prophet) say it, but he said: So far as Ibrahim is concerned. you may see your companion and so far as Moses is concerned, he is a well-built man with wheat complexion (riding) on a red camel with its halter made of the fibre of date-palm (and I perceive) as if I am seeing towards him as he is going down in the valley saying: I am at Thy service! my Lord.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَذَكَرُوا الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ذَاكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَرَجُلٌ آدَمُ جَعْدٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ مَخْطُومٍ بِخُلْبَةٍ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا انْحَدَرَ فِي الْوَادِي يُلَبِّي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the descriptions of two prophets from Allah - Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Musa. It was narrated by Mujahid that he said that when he was with Ibn 'Abbas, they were talking about al-Dajjal. One person remarked that there is a word written between his eyes which reads "Kafir". Ibn 'Abbas then said that he did not hear this from the Holy Prophet but what he heard was regarding Prophet Ibrahim who looks like one's companion and regarding Prophet Moses who has a wheat complexion riding on a red camel with its halter made of date-palm fibre. He further added that it seemed as if he was seeing him going down in the valley saying "I am at Thy service! my Lord". This hadith teaches us to have faith in Allah's prophets and to remember their descriptions so we can recognize them if we ever come across them. We should also remember their devotion to Allah as they always remain humble before Him saying "I am at Thy service! my Lord".
