second coming, have achieved such a high degree of
trustworthiness that their truth is beyond all doubt. The
fact that some scholastic theologians deem it obligatory to
believe in hadith about the signs of the Day of Judgment,
while they still have doubts as to whether a part of these
hadith are reliable or not, stems from their insufficient
