No, by Allah, the Prophet ﷺ did not describe Isa as red-complexioned. Rather, he said, "While I was asleep, I dreamed I was making tawaf around the Kaabah, and there was a brown-skinned man with straight hair, being supported between two men, water dripping from his head," or "water flowing from his head."I asked, "Who is this?"They replied, "The son of Maryam."Then I turned and saw a red-complexioned, heavily built man with curly hair, blind in his right eye, his eye looking like a floating grape.I asked, "Who is this?"They replied, "This is the Dajjal, and the person who most resembles him is Ibn Qatan."Zuhri said, He was a man from Khuza who perished in the time of pre-Islamic ignorance.
لا، والله ما قال النبي ﷺ لعيسى: أحمر، ولكن قال: بينما أنا نائم أطوف بالكعبة، فإذا رجل آدم سبط الشعر يهادى بين رجلين ينطف رأسه ماء أو يهراق رأسه ماء، فقلت: من هذا؟ قالوا: ابن مريم، فذهبت ألتفت، فإذا رجل أحمر جسيم، جعد الرأس، أعور عينه اليمنى، كأن عينه عنبة طافية، قلت: من هذا؟ قالوا: هذا الدجال، وأقرب الناس به شبها ابن قطن. قال الزهري: رجل من خزاعة هلك في الجاهلية.
Bukhari narrated it in "The Prophets" (3441), and this is his wording, and Muslim narrated it in "Faith" (171), both from the hadith of Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, who mentioned it. Except that Muslim did not mention Ibn Umar's denial that Isa was ruddy.The way to reconcile Abu Hurairah's statement, "of medium build, ruddy," with Ibn Umar's statement that the Prophet ﷺ did not describe Isa as "ruddy," is that Isa was not ruddy in a way that disfigured his features like Dajjal. Rather, he was ruddy leaning toward a brown complexion, which is a mark of beauty in appearance, since the climate of Palestine would not have made Isa
dark-skinned leaning toward black.
