عن إبن عباس رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي ﷺ رأيت عيسى وموسى وإبراهيم فأما عيسى فأحمر جعدٌ عريض الصدر وأما موسى فآدم جسيم سبطٌ كأنه من رجال الزط
فأما عيسى فأحمر اللون وهو عند العرب الشديد البياض مع الحمرة
كأنه من رجال الزط - جنس من السودان وقيل هم نوع من الهنود وهم طوال الأجسام مع نحافة فيها … جسيماً بالنسبة لطوله

From Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: The Prophet (SAW) said: I saw ‘Isa, and Musa, and Ibrahim – and ‘Isa was red, had curly hair and a wide chest, and Musa was brown, corpulent, had straight hair, like he was one of the Zutt men.

“And ‘Isa was red [ahmar]” – in complexion; among the Arabs this meant extremely white with some redness.

“Like he was one of the Zutt men” : a people-group from Sudan; and it is also said: they are a class of Indians, and have tall, lanky bodies. … “corpulent” in the sense of his being tall.
