Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
(pbuh) second coming; only those who oppose to God's Book, His
Messenger and Ahl al-Sunnah may deny Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second
coming to Earth. 14
Another explanation about the hadiths' reaching the level of
tawatur is as folows:
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 conclu-
sion that the hadiths on the anticipated Mahdi, the Dajjal, and Jesus'
second coming are mutawatir (genuine)." 15
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 nar-
16
rations they based their collection on. For instance, Ibn Hajr Al-
Haythami in the book Al-Sawa'iq Al-Muhriqa, al-Shablanji in his book
Nur al-Absar, Ibn Sabbagh in his book Al-Fusul Al-Muhimma,
Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Sabban in his book Is`af ar-Raghibin fi Sirat al-
Mustafa wa Fada'il Ahl Baytihi at-Tahirin, and Muhammad Amin
Suwaidi in his book Saba'ik az-Zahab, wrote that the hadiths
about Jesus' second coming are reliable. 17
