Page 67 - The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming

God’s Promise:
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) Will Return

These hadiths are recorded by the Ahl as-Sunnah scholars
and hadith experts in their own works. For instance, Abu Dawud,
Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, al-Hakim, an-Nasa'i,
al-Tabarani, al-Rawajini, Abu Nu`aym al-Isfahani, ad-Daylami, al-
Baihaqi, as-Salabi, Hamawaini, Manawi, Ibn al-Jawzi, Muhammad
ibn `Ali al-Sabban, al-Mawardi, al-Khanji al-Shafi, as-Samani, al-
Khwarizmi, ash-Sharani, ad-Daraqutni, Ibn Sabbagh al-Maliki,
Muhibbuddin at-Tabari, Ibn Hajr al-Haythami, Shaikh Mansur `Ali
Nasif, Muhammad ibn Talha, Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, al-Qurtubi, al-
Baghawi and many more deal with the subject in their books.
`Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda reveals that the hadiths about
Jesus returning to Earth and killing the Dajjal have reached the de-

established by the Sunnah, and Ijma al-Ummah (concensus of the
Islamic community), and the hadiths on this issue and Dajjal and
the Mahdi are mutawatir. In his commentary Al Bahru Al-Muhit, Ibn
Atiyya al Garnati states that the Islamic community has the com-
mon belief that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is alive, that he will come back
at the End Times and that the hadiths about this issue are mutawatir.
Such books show the great number of hadiths that exist on this
subject. Furthermore, the hadiths that reveal Jesus' second coming
in the End Times as a sign of the Last Day are found in the main ha-
dith source books, such as those by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Some of
these are as follows:

By Him Whose Hand is my life, the son of Mary (Jesus) will certainly
invoke the name of God for Hajj or for Umrah, or for both, in the val-
ley of Rawha. (Sahih Muslim)
"It [the Day of Judgment] will not come until you see ten signs," and
