(1) <b>Hadrat Abu Hurairah reports that the Holy prophet said:</b> “ I wear by him in whose hand is my soul: The son of Mary shall descend among you, as a just ruler. Then he will break the cross, and kill the swineA , and put an end to war (in another Tradition, there is the word jizyah instead of Herb(War), meaning that he will abolish of Jizyah;b then there will be such abundance of wealth that nobody will like to accept it, and (conditions will be such that) performing of one sajada (prostration) before Allah will be considered better that the world and what it contains.” (Bukhari: Kitab Ahadith al-Anbiya, bab Nuzul’Isa Ibn Maryam; Muslim: bab Nuzul’Isa: Tirmizhi: Abwabul Fitan, Bab fi Nuzul ‘Isa; Musnad Ahmad: Marwiyat Abu Hurairah). (2) Another Tradition from Hadrat Abu Hurairah is to the effect: “Resurrection will not take place until Jesus son of Mary has descended…” (This is followed by the same theme as reported in the above-cited Tradition). (Bukhari: Kitab al-Mazalim, Bab Kasr as-Salab, Ibn Majah: Kitab al-Fitan).
(3) <b>Hadrat Abu Hurairah reports that the Holy Prophet said:</b> “How will you be when the son of Mary will descend among you, and your Imam at that time will be from among yourselves? [1] [1](Bukhari: Kitab Ahadith Anbiya’, Bab Nuzul’Isa: Muslim: Nuzul’Isa; Musnad Ahmad).
(4)<b> Hadrat Abu Hurairah has reported that the holy Prophet said:</b> “Jesus son of Mary shall descend; then he will kill the swine and destroy the Cross [2] [2]; and a congregation will be held for him for the Prayer; and he will distribute so much wealth that people will be satiated with it; and he will abolish the tribute; and he will encamp at Rauha’, [3] [3] and from there will go to perform Hajj or “Umrah, or both.” (The reporter is in doubt as to what exactly the Holy Prophet said). (Musnad Ahmad: Marwiyat Abu Hurairah; Muslim: Kitab al-Hajj).
(5) <b>Hadrat Abu Hurairah reports that the Holy Prophet (after making mention of the appearance of the Dajjal) said: </b>“In the meantime, when the Muslims will be making preparations to fight him, will be lining u (for the Prayer) and the Iqamah will have been pronounced, Jesus son of Mary shall descend and lead them in the Prayer; and the enemy of Allah (Dajjal i.e. the Antichrist) on seeing him alone, he would melt to death anyway, but Allah will have him killed at his hand, and he will show his blood on this spear to the Muslims.” (Mishkat: Ikitab al-Fitan, with reference to Muslim).
(6) <b>Abu Hurairah reports that the Holy Prophet said:</b> “There is not prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus Christ), and he shall descend. So, recognize him when you see him. He is a man of medium height, of ruddy and fair complexion; he will be dressed in two yellow garments; the hair of his head will appear as though water was going to trickle down from it, whereas it will not be wet. He will fight people in the cause of Islam, will break the Cross and kill the swine and will abolish jizyah; and Allah will put an end to all communities in his time except Islam [4] [4]; and he will slay the Antichrist (Dajjal); and he will stay in the world for 40 years; the will die and the Muslims will offer the funeral Prayer for him.” (Abu Da’ud: Kitab al-Malahim; Musnad Ahmad: Marwiyat Abu Hurairah).
(7) <b>Hadrat Jabir bin ‘Abdullah says that he heard the Holy Prophet say;</b> “…then Jesus son of Mary will descend. The leader of the Muslims will say, “No: you yourselves are leaders over one another. [5] [5] This he will say in view of the honor that Allah has bestowed on this Community.” (Muslim: Bayan Nuzul “Isa Ibn Maryam; Musnad Ahmad: Marwiyat Fabir bin ‘Abdullah).
(8) <b>Jabir bin ‘Abdullah reports (in connection with the story of Ibn Sayyad:</b> “Then, “Umar bin al-Khattab submitted; O Messenger of Allah, permit me to kill him. The Messenger of Allah replied: If he is the same person (i.e. the Dajjal), then you will not kill him, but he will be killed by Jesus son of Mary. And if he is not he (i.e. the Dajjal), then you have no right to kill a man from among the dhimmis.” (Mishkat: Kitab al-fitan).
