The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Is 'Isa (peace and blessings be upon him) considered a Companion? Peace be upon you. Is he considered a Companion because he will descend in the last of time and be a follower of the Ummah of Muhammad?
The Shaykh:
No, he is a Prophet; he is a Prophet. He is one of the Prophets of the Children of Israel,[As-Saf 61:6], so he is a Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And prophethood is better than being a Companion.

And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad."
وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ
