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.
