Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every child of the children of Adam is touched by Satan with his finger at the time of birth, except for ‘Isa ibn Maryam. Satan did go to touch him, but he struck through the veil and returned.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am the closest of all people to Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! How is that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different but their religion is one. So there is no prophet between me and Jesus (peace be upon him).

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I hope that if my life is prolonged, I will meet ‘Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, and if my death comes soon, then whoever among you meets him, convey my greetings to him.
