Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), describing the events of the night in which he was taken on the Mi'raj, said: I saw Musa (peace be upon him), and he was a thin man with straight hair, and it seemed as if he was from the tribe of Shanu. And I also saw Isa (peace be upon him); he was of medium height and had a very fair and reddish complexion, so fresh and clean that it seemed as if he had just come out of the bathhouse. And among his descendants, I most resemble Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Then two vessels were brought before me, one containing milk and the other wine. Jibril said: Drink whichever of these you wish. I took the cup of milk in my hand and drank it. It was said to me: You have chosen the natural disposition (milk is the natural food of man). If you had drunk the wine instead, your Ummah would have gone astray.
