Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 167

In the Sunni school of Islam, Imam Abu Hanifah is the great-
est collector of hadiths on the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second com-
ing. In the final part of his Al-Fiqh al-Akbar, he states that:
The emergence of the dajjal and of Gog and Magog is a reality; the
rising of the sun in the West is a reality; the descent of the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh), upon whom be peace, from the heavens is a reality; and
all the other signs of the Day of Resurrection, as contained in au-
thentic traditions, are also established realities. 12
The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming is one of the ten
great signs of the Last Day, and many Islamic scholars have dealt
with the subject in great detail. When all of these views are consid-
ered together, it becomes apparent that there is a consensus on this
event. That the hadiths are reliable is explained, as follows:
Muhammad al-Shawkani said that he had collected 29 hadiths and,
when he had recorded them all, he said: "Our hadiths have reached
the level of tawatur (reliable), as you can see. With this, we reach the
conclusion that the hadiths on the anticipated Mahdi, the dajjal, and
the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming are mutawatir (gen-
uine). 13
At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, al-Bazzaz, Ibn Majah, al-Hakim,
al-Tabarani, and al-Musuli recorded many hadiths narrated by the
Companions, such as 'Ali, Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn 'Umar, Talha, Abu
Hurayra, Anas, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, Umm Habiba, Umm Salama,
'Ali al-Hilali, and 'Abd Allah ibn al-Harith ibn Jaz, upon whose
narrations they based their collection on. For instance, Ibn Hajr
