Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 47, Hadith 182

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When I was taken on the Night of Isra I met Musa.” He described him saying: “He was a man who was” and I think he said: “A thin man, whose hair was as if he was a man from Shanu’ah.” He said: “I met ‘Eisa” he described him saying: “Of average build, with a red face, as if he had just come out of the Dimas” meaning the bath-house. “And I saw Ibrahim” he said: “I am the one among his offspring that most resembles him” and he said: “I was brought two vessels, one of them containing milk and the other containing wine. I was told: ‘Take whichever one of them you wish.’ So I took the milk to drink from it. It was said to me: ‘You were guided to the Fitrah’ or: ‘You chose the Fitrah, if you had take the wine your Ummah would have strayed.'”

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِي لَقِيتُ مُوسَى ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَعَتُّهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ مُضْطَرِبٌ رَجِلُ الرَّأْسِ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شُنُوءَةَ قَالَ وَلَقِيتُ عِيسَى ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَعَتُّهُ قَالَ رَبْعَةٌ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ دِيمَاسٍ يَعْنِي الْحَمَّامَ وَرَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَشْبَهُ وَلَدِهِ بِهِ قَالَ وَأُتِيتُ بِإِنَاءَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا لَبَنٌ وَالآخَرُ خَمْرٌ فَقِيلَ لِي خُذْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ ‏.‏ فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّبَنَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَقِيلَ لِيَ هُدِيتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَوْ أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
