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
