What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42). (Using translation from Muslim 2940a)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "The Dajjal will come out and Allah will send Jesus son of Mary, ﷺ , as if he were Urwah bin Mas'ood Ath-Thaqafi. He will seek him out and kill him, and then the people will live for nine years without any enmity between them. Then Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of Sham, which will not spare anyone with even an atom's weight of faith in their hearts. The wind will seize them until even if someone were in the depths of a mountain, it would reach them. I heard it from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . The worst of people will remain, light as birds and with the minds of beasts, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what is evil. The devil will appear to them and command them to worship idols, and they will do so. Their sustenance will be good during that time, but then a blast will be blown in the trumpet and no one will be left except that they will be struck. Then Allah will send rain, from which the bodies of the people will grow. Another blast will be blown, and they will rise, looking around. Then it will be said, 'O people, come to your Lord,' and they will stand. Then it will be said, 'Drive out the people of the Fire,' and it will be asked, 'How many are they?' It will be said, 'Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every one thousand.' On that day, the children will become grey-haired. And on that day, 'The covering of shame will be removed from the leg.' Muhammad bin Ja'far said, "Shu'bah narrated to me this hadith from An-Nu'man bin Salim, and I presented it to him."

There appeared before me the apostles, and Moses was among men as if he was one of the people of Shanu'a, and I saw Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) and I saw nearest in resemblance with him was 'Urwa b. Mas'ud, and I saw Ibrahim (blessings of Allah be upon him) and I see your companions much in resemblance with him, i. e. his personality, and I saw Gabriel (peace be upon him) and I saw Dihya nearest in resemblance to him; but in the narration of Ibn Rumh it is Dihya b. Khalifa.

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'On the night of my ascension, I placed my feet where the feet of the prophets are placed in the House of Jerusalem. Jesus, the son of Mary, was presented to me, and he resembled 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud the most among the people. Moses was presented to me, and he resembled a man from the men of Shanu'ah tribe. Ibrahim (Abraham) was presented to me, and he resembled your companion (the Prophet Muhammad) the most among the people.'"

I swear by Allah that the son of Mary will certainly descend as a just judge and he would definitely break the cross, and kill swine and abolish Jizya and would leave the young she-camel and no one would endeavour to (collect Zakat on it). Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people to accept wealth, not even one would do so.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيَنْزِلَنَّ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَحَكَمًا عَادِلًا فَيَكْسِرُ الصَّلِيبَ وَلَيَقْتُلَنَّ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَلَيَضَعَنَّ الْجِزْيَةَ وَلَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْقِلَاصَ فَلَا يُسْعَى عَلَيْهَا وَلَتَذْهَبَنَّ الشَّحْنَاءُ وَالتَّبَاغُضُ وَالتَّحَاسُدُ وَلَيُدْعَوُنَّ إِلَى الْمَالِ فَلَا يَقْبَلُهُ أَحَدٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The son of Mary will descend as a just ruler and will break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizyah (tax on non-Muslims) and no one will be obligated to pay it. The sparrows will be left alone and no one will hunt them. Enmity, hatred, and jealousy will disappear, and people will be called to wealth but no one will accept it."  

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيَنْزِلَنَّ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا عَادِلًا فَيَكْسِرُ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَلَيَضَعَنَّ الْجِزْيَةَ وَلَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْقِلَاصُ فَلَا يُسْعَى عَلَيْهَا وَلَتَذْهَبَنَّ الشَّحْنَاءُ وَالتَّبَاغُضُ وَالتَّحَاسُدُ وَلَيَدْعُوَنَّ إِلَى الْمَالِ فَلَا يَقْبَلُهُ أَحَدٌ»

The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).

"لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ الرُّومُ بِالأعمَاقِ أوْ بِدَابِقَ، فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِم جَيْشٌ مِنَ الْمَدينَةِ، مِنْ خيَارِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فإِذَا تَصَافُّوا قَالَت الرُّومُ: خَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الذِينَ سُبُوا مِنَّا نُقَاتِلهُمَ، فَيَقُولُ المُسْلِمُونَ: لاَ وَالله، لاَ نُخَلِّ بَيْنكُم وبَيْنَ إِخْوانِنَا فَتُقَاتِلُونَهُم، فَينْهَزِمُ ثُلُثٌ لاَ يَتُوُبُ الله عَلَيْهِم أَبَدًا، ويُقْتَلُ ثُلُثٌ هُمْ أفْضَلُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَ الله، ويَفْتَتِحُ الثُّلُثُ، لا يُفْتَنُونَ أَبَدًا، فَيفْتَتحُونَ قُسْطَنْطِينيَّةَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَقْتَسمُونَ الغَنَائِمَ قَدْ عَلَّقُوا سُيُوفَهُمْ بالزَّيْتُون إِذ صَاحَ فِيهِم الشَّيْطَانُ: إِنَّ المَسِيحَ قَدْ خَلَفَكُم في أَهْلِيكُم، فَيَخْرُجُونَ، وَذَلِكَ بَاطِلٌ، فإِذَا جَاءُوا الشَّامَ خَرجَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُم يُعدُّونَ لِلقِتَالِ يُسَوَّونَ الصُّفُوفَ إِذ أُقيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَنَزَلَ عِيسَى بْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَأَمَّهُم، فَإِذَا رآهُ عَدُوُّ الله ذَابَ كَمَا يَذُوبُ المِلح في الْمَاءِ، فَلَوْ تَرَكَهُ لاَ نْذَابَ حتَّى يَهْلِكَ، ولَكِنْ يَقْتُلُهُ الله بِيَدِهِ، فَيُرِيهِمْ دَمَهُ في حَرْبَتِه".  

I was near the House (i. e. Ka'bah) in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such (part). Qatada said: I asked him who was with me (i e. the narrator) and what he meant by such and such (part). He replied: (It means that it was opened) up to the lower part of his abdomen (Then the hadith continues): My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position, after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called al-Buraq, bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it, and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad ﷺ. It was said: Has he been sent for? He (Gabriel) said: Yes. He (the Prophet) said: Then (the gate) was opened for us (and it was said): Welcome unto him! His is a blessed arrival. Then we came to Adam (peace be upon him). And he (the narrator) narrated the whole account of the hadith. (The Holy Prophet) observed that he met Jesus in the second heaven, Yahya (peace be on both of them) in the third heaven, Yusuf in the third, Idris in the fourth, Harun in the fifth (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). Then we travelled on till we reached the sixth heaven and came to Moses (peace be upon him) and I greeted him and he said: Welcome unto righteous brother and righteous prophet. And when I passed (by him) he wept, and a voice was heard saying: What makes thee weep? He said: My Lord, he is a young man whom Thou hast sent after me (as a prophet) and his followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers. Then we travelled on till we reached the seventh heaven and I came to Ibrahim. He (the narrator) narrat- ed in this hadith that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ told that he saw four rivers which flowed from (the root of the lote-tree of the farthest limits): two manifest rivers and two hidden rivers. I said: ' Gabriel! what are these rivers? He replied: The two hidden rivers are the rivers of Paradise, and as regards the two manifest ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates. Then the Bait-ul-Ma'mur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait-ul-Ma'mur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end.

Malik bin Sasaa said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ described to them his Night Journey saying, "While I was lying in Al-Hatim or Al-Hijr, suddenly someone came to me and cut my body open from here to here." I asked Al-Jarud who was by my side, "What does he mean?" He said, "It means from his throat to his pubic area," or said, "From the top of the chest." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "He then took out my heart. Then a gold tray of Belief was brought to me and my heart was washed and was filled (with Belief) and then returned to its original place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me." (On this Al-Jarud asked, "Was it the Buraq, O Abu Hamza?" I (i.e. Anas) replied in the affirmative). The Prophet ﷺ said, "The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. I was carried on it, and Gabriel set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven. When he asked for the gate to be opened, it was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has Muhammad been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the first heaven, I saw Adam there. Gabriel said (to me). 'This is your father, Adam; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me till we reached the second heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel answered in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened. When I went over the second heaven, there I saw Yahya (i.e. John) and ʿIsa (i.e. Jesus) who were cousins of each other. Gabriel said (to me), 'These are John and Jesus; pay them your greetings.' So I greeted them and both of them returned my greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the third heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the third heaven there I saw Joseph. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is Joseph; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the fourth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed, what an excel lent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the fourth heaven, there I saw Idris. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is Idris; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the fifth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked. 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is! So when I went over the fifth heaven, there I saw Harun (i.e. Aaron), Gabriel said, (to me). This is Aaron; pay him your greetings.' I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the sixth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked. 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. It was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' When I went (over the sixth heaven), there I saw Moses. Gabriel said (to me),' This is Moses; pay him your greeting. So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' When I left him (i.e. Moses) he wept. Someone asked him, 'What makes you weep?' Moses said, 'I weep because after me there has been sent (as Prophet) a young man whose followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the seventh heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,' Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' So when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw Abraham. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is your father; pay your greetings to him.' So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then I was made to ascend to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary) Behold! Its fruits were like the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near Medina) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Gabriel said, 'This is the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary) . Behold ! There ran four rivers, two were hidden and two were visible, I asked, 'What are these two kinds of rivers, O Gabriel?' He replied,' As for the hidden rivers, they are two rivers in Paradise and the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.' Then Al-Bait-ul-Ma'mur (i.e. the Sacred House) was shown to me and a container full of wine and another full of milk and a third full of honey were brought to me. I took the milk. Gabriel remarked, 'This is the Islamic religion which you and your followers are following.' Then the prayers were enjoined on me: They were fifty prayers a day. When I returned, I passed by Moses who asked (me), 'What have you been ordered to do?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to offer fifty prayers a day.' Moses said, 'Your followers cannot bear fifty prayers a day, and by Allah, I have tested people before you, and I have tried my level best with Bani Israel (in vain). Go back to your Lord and ask for reduction to lessen your followers' burden.' So I went back, and Allah reduced ten prayers for me. Then again I came to Moses, but he repeated the same as he had said before. Then again I went back to Allah and He reduced ten more prayers. When I came back to Moses he said the same, I went back to Allah and He ordered me to observe ten prayers a day. When I came back to Moses, he repeated the same advice, so I went back to Allah and was ordered to observe five prayers a day. When I came back to Moses, he said, 'What have you been ordered?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to observe five prayers a day.' He said, 'Your followers cannot bear five prayers a day, and no doubt, I have got an experience of the people before you, and I have tried my level best with Bani Israel, so go back to your Lord and ask for reduction to lessen your follower's burden.' I said, 'I have requested so much of my Lord that I feel ashamed, but I am satisfied now and surrender to Allah's Order.' When I left, I heard a voice saying, 'I have passed My Order and have lessened the burden of My Worshipers." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3887)

I found myself in Hijr and the Quraish were asking me about my might journey. I was asked about things pertaining to Bait-ul-Maqdis which I could not preserve (in my mind). I was very much vexed, so vexed as I had never been before. Then Allah raised it (Bait-ul-Maqdis) before my eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they questioned me I also saw myself among the group of apostles. I saw Moses saying prayer and found him to be a well-built man as if he was a man of the tribe of Shanu'a. I saw Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) offering prayer, of all of men he had the closest resemblance with 'Urwa b. Masu'd al-Thaqafi. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) offering prayer; he had the closest resemblance with your companion (the Prophet himself) amongst people. When the time of prayer came I led them. When I completed the prayer, someone said: Here is Malik, the keeper of the Hell; pay him salutations. I turned to him, but he preceded me in salutation.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْحِجْرِ وَقُرَيْشٌ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ مَسْرَاىَ فَسَأَلَتْنِي عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ لَمْ أُثْبِتْهَا فَكُرِبْتُ كُرْبَةً مَا كُرِبْتُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ قَالَ فَرَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ لِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ مَا يَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ أَنْبَأْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فَإِذَا مُوسَى قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ جَعْدٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَإِذَا عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَإِذَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِهِ صَاحِبُكُمْ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ فَحَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَأَمَمْتُهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا مَالِكٌ صَاحِبُ النَّارِ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ فَبَدَأَنِي بِالسَّلاَمِ  

I found myself in Hijr and the Quraish were asking me about my might journey. I was asked about things pertaining to Bait-ul-Maqdis which I could not preserve (in my mind). I was very much vexed, so vexed as I had never been before. Then Allah raised it (Bait-ul-Maqdis) before my eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they questioned me I also saw myself among the group of apostles. I saw Moses saying prayer and found him to be a well-built man as if he was a man of the tribe of Shanu'a. I saw Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) offering prayer, of all of men he had the closest resemblance with 'Urwa b. Masu'd al-Thaqafi. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) offering prayer; he had the closest resemblance with your companion (the Prophet himself) amongst people. When the time of prayer came I led them. When I completed the prayer, someone said: Here is Malik, the keeper of the Hell; pay him salutations. I turned to him, but he preceded me in salutation. (Using translation from Muslim 172)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْحِجْرِ وَقُرَيْشٌ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ مَسْرَايَ فَسَأَلُونِي عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ لَمْ أُثْبِتْهَا فَكُرِبْتُ كَرْبًا مَا كُرِبْتُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ فَرَفَعَهُ اللهُ لِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا سَأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَتَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِذَا مُوسَى ﷺ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ جَعْدٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَإِذَا عِيسَى قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَإِذَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِهِ صَاحِبُكَمْ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ ﷺ وَحَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَمَمْتُهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ لِي قَائِلٌ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا مَالِكٌ صَاحِبُ النَّارِ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَبَدَأَنِي بِالسَّلَامِ  

"لَقَدْ رأَيتَنِى في الحِجْرِ وَقُرَيشٌ تَسأَلُنِى عَن مَسْراى، فَسَأَلَتْنِى عن أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ بَيتِ المقدِس لَمْ أُثْبِتْها ، فَكُرِبْتُ كَرْبًا مَا كُرِبتُ مِثْله قَطُّ فَرَفَعَهُ اللهُ لي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيهِ

مَا سَأَلُونِى عن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا أَنْبأتُهم بِه، وَقَدْ رَأَيتُنِى في جَمَاعَةٍ من الأَنْبِيَاءِ، فإِذَا مُوسى-عليه السلام- قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، فإِذَا رَجُلٌ جَعْدٌ ضَرْبٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِن رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ، وإِذَا عيسى بن مَريَم قَائِم يُصَلِّي أَقْربُ النَّاسِ به شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بن مَسْعُودٍ الثقَفِيُّ، وإِذَا إِبْرَاهيمُ قَائمٌ يُصلِّى، أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِه صَاحِبُكمْ -يعني نفسه- فَحَانَتْ الصَّلاةَ فأَمَمْتُهم، فلمَّا فَرَغْتُ من الصَّلاةِ، قَال قائل: "يَا مُحمَدُ هَذَا مالك صَاحِبُ النَّارِ فَسَلِّمَ علَيهِ، فالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيّه فبدأَنِى بالسَّلامِ".  

Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, would gather people. The believers would stand till the Paradise would be brought near them. They would come to Adam and say: O our father, open for us the Paradise. He would say: What turned ye out from the Paradise was the sin of your father Adam. I am not in a position to do that; better go to my son Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: He (Ibrahim) would say: I am not in a position to do that. Verily I had been the Friend (of Allah) from beyond, beyond; you better approach Moses (peace be upon him) with whom Allah conversed. They would come to Moses (peace be upon him), but he would say: I am not in a position to do that; you better go to Jesus, the Word of Allah and His Spirit. Jesus (peace be upon him) would say: I am not in a position to do that. So they would come to Muhammad ﷺ. He would then be permitted (to open the door of Paradise). Trustworthiness and kinship would be despatched, and these would stand on the right and left of the Path and the first of you would pass with (the swiftness) of lightning. He (the narrator) said: I said, O thou who art far dearer to me than my father and my mother I which thing is like the passing of lightning? He said: Have you not seen lightning, how it passes and then comes back within the twinkling of an eye? Then (they would pass) like the passing of the wind, then like the passing of a bird, and the hastening of persons would be according to their deeds, and your Apostle would be standing on the Path saying: Save, O my Lord, save. (The people would go on passing) till the deeds of the servants would be failing in strength, till a man would come who would find it hard to go along (that Path) but crawlingly. He (the narrator) said: And on the sides of the Path hooks would be suspended ready to catch anyone whom these would be required (to catch). There would be those who would somehow or other succeed in trasversing that Path and some would be piled up in Hell. By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Abu Huraira it would take one seventy years to fathom the depth of Hell.

The mother of every person gives him birth according to his true nature. It is subsequently his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Magian. Had his parents been Muslim he would have also remained a Muslim. Every person to whom his mother gives birth (has two aspects of his life) ; when his mother gives birth Satan strikes him but it was not the case with Mary and her son (Jesus Christ).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ تَلِدُهُ أُمُّهُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَأَبَوَاهُ بَعْدُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُمَجِّسَانِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ فَمُسْلِمٌ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ تَلِدُهُ أُمُّهُ يَلْكُزُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي حِضْنَيْهِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمَ وَابْنَهَا

None spoke in the cradle but only three (persons), Christ son of Mary, the second one the companion of Juraij. Juraij had got constructed a temple and confined himself in that. His mother came to him as he was busy in prayer and she said: Juraij. He said: My Lord, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in) my prayer. He continued with the prayer. She returned and she came on the next day and he was busy in prayer, and she said: Juraij. And he said: My Lord, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged) in prayer, and he continued with the prayer and she went back, and then on the next day she again came and he was busy in prayer and she said: Juraij. And he said: My Lord, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in my prayer, and he continued with the prayer, and she said: My Lord, don't give him death unless he has seen the fate of the prostitutes. The story of Juraij and that of his meditation and prayer gained currency amongst Bani Isra'il. There was a prostitute who had been a beauty incarnate. She said (to the people): If you like I can allure him to evil. She presented herself to him but he paid no heed (to her). She came to a shepherd who lived near the temple and she offered herself to him and he had a sexual intercourse with her and so she became pregnant arid when she gave birth to a child she said: This is from Juraij. So they came and asked him to get down and demolished the temple and began to beat him. He said: What is the matter? They said: You have committed fornication with this prostitute and she has given birth to a child from your loins. He said: Where is the child? They brought him (the child) and he said: just leave me so that I should observe prayer. And he observed prayer and when he finished, he came to the child. He struck his stomach and said: O boy, who is your father? lie said: He is such shepherd. So they turned towards Juraij, kissed him and touched him (for seeking blessing) and said: We are prepared to construct your temple with gold. He said. No, just rebuild it with mud as it had been, and they did that. Then there was a babe who was sucking his mother that a person dressed in fine garment came riding upon a beast. His mother said: O Allah, make my child like this one. He (the babe) left sucking and began to see towards him, and said: O Allah, don't make me like him. He then returned to the chest and began to suck the milk of his mother. He (Abu Huraira) said: I perceived as if I am seeing Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he is explaining the scene of his sucking milk with his forefinger in his mouth and sucking that. He (Abu Huraira) further reported Allah's Apostle (may be peace upon him) as saying: There happened to pass by him a girl who was being beaten and they were saying: You have committed adultery and you have committed theft and she was saying: Allah is enough for me and He is my good Protector, and his mother said: O Allah, don't make my child like her and he left sucking the milk, and looked towards her and said: O Allah, make me like her, and there was a talk between them. She said: O with shaven head, a good-looking person happened to pass by and I said: O Allah, make my child like him, and you said: O Allah, don't make me like him, and they passed by a girl while they were beating her and saying: You committed fornication and you committed theft, and I said: O Allah, don't make my child like her, and you said: O Allah, make me like her. Thereupon he said: That person was a tyrant, and I said: O Allah, don't make me like him, and they were saying about her: You committed fornication whereas in fact she had not committed that and they were saying: You have committed theft whereas she had not committed theft, so I said: O Allah, make me like her.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Only three people spoke in their cradles: Jesus, the son of Mary, and a man from the children of Israel named Jurayj. He was a devoted worshiper who built a place of worship and prayed in it. The children of Israel mentioned the worship of Jurayj one day, and one of them said, "If you wish, we can tempt him." They agreed, and a woman came to him and tried to seduce him, but he did not pay attention to her. So, she went to a shepherd who used to take his sheep to the foundation of Jurayj's place of worship, and she had sexual intercourse with him and became pregnant. When she gave birth to a son, the people asked her, "Who is the father?" She said, "Jurayj." So, they came to him, insulted and beat him, and destroyed his place of worship. He asked them, "What is your problem?" They said, "You committed adultery with this woman, and she gave birth to a son." He asked, "Where is the child?" They said, "Here he is." He stood up, prayed, and supplicated to Allah. Then he approached the child and stabbed him with his finger, saying, "By Allah, O boy, who is your father?" The child replied, "I am the son of the shepherd." Then they went to Jurayj and started kissing him, saying, "We will rebuild your place of worship with gold." He replied, "I have no need for that, rebuild it with mud, just as it was." Abu Hurairah said, "It is as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrating this story, placing his finger in his mouth and sucking on it." Then, he passed by a woman who was being beaten. She said, "O Allah, do not make my son like her." He left her breasts and approached the woman, saying, "O Allah, do not make me like her." Then he passed by another woman who was also being beaten. Again, he left the woman's breasts and said, "O Allah, make me like her." He said, "O my people, the rider with the sign is a tyrant among the tyrants, and this woman, they accuse her of wrongdoing, stealing, and she says, 'Allah is sufficient for me.'"

Verily the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the words of Allah, the Great and Glorious, that Ibrahim uttered. My Lord! lo! they have led many of mankind astray:" But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me" (al-Qur'an, xiv. 35) and Jesus (peace be upon him) said:" If thou punisheth them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgiveth them-verily Thou art the Mighty, the Wise" (al-Qur'an, v 117). Then he raised his hands and said: O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah, and wept; so Allah the High and the Exalted said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad (though your Lord knows it fully well) and ask him: What makes thee weep? So Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him and asked him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it fully well). Upon this Allah said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad and say: Verily We will please thee with regard to your Ummah and would not displease thee.

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A party of my people will continue to fight for the Truth and will prevail until the Day of Resurrection."

He said: "Then Jesus, the son of Mary, would descend and their Commander (the Mahdī) would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: 'No, some amongst you are commanders over some. This is the honor from Allah for this Ummah.'"

"I was brought an animal that was larger than a donkey and smaller than a mule, whose stride could reach as far as it could see. I mounted it, and Jibril was with me, and I set off. Then he said: 'Dismount and pray,' so I did that. He said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Taibah, which will be the place of the emigration.' Then he said: 'Dismount and pray,' so I prayed. He said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Mount Sinai, where Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, spoke to Musa, peace be upon him.' So I dismounted and prayed, and he said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Bethlehem, where 'Eisa, peace be upon him, was born.' Then I entered Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) where the Prophets, peace be upon them, were assembled for me, and Jibril brought me forward to lead them in prayer. Then I was taken up to the first heaven, where I saw Adam, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the second heaven where I saw the maternal cousins 'Eisa and Yahya, peace be upon them. Then I was taken up to the third heaven where I saw Yusuf, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fourth heaven where I saw Harun, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fifth heaven where I saw Idris, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the sixth heaven where I saw Musa, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven where I saw Ibrahim, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up above seven heavens and we came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha and I was covered with fog. I fell down prostrate and it was said to me: '(Indeed) The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined upon you and your Ummah fifty prayers, so establish them, you and your Ummah.' I came back to Ibrahim and he did not ask me about anything, then I came to Musa and he said: 'How much did your Lord enjoin upon you and your Ummah?' I said: 'Fifty prayers.' He said: 'You will not be able to establish them, neither you nor your Ummah. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it.' So I went back to my Lord and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced to five prayers. He (Musa) said: 'Go back to you Lord and ask Him to reduce it, for two prayers were enjoined upon the Children of Israel but they did not establish them.' So I went back to my Lord and asked Him to reduce it, but He said: 'The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined fifty prayers upon you and your Ummah. Five is for fifty, so establish them, you and your Ummah.' I knew that this was what Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had determined so I went back to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said: 'Go back.' But I knew that it was what Allah had determined, so I did not go back."

I heard al-Hajjaj addressing the people say: The similitude of ‘Uthman with Allah is like the similitude of Jesus son of Mary. He then recited the following verse and explained it: “Behold! Allah said: O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehood) of those who blaspheme.” He was making a sign with his hand to us and to the people of Syria.  

اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَىَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا } يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا بِيَدِهِ وَإِلَى أَهْلِ الشَّامِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Dajjal (Antichrist) saying: If he comes forth while I am among you I shall be the one who will dispute with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth when I am not among you, a man must dispute on his own behalf, and Allah will take my place in looking after every Muslim. Those of you who live up to his time should recite over him the opening verses of Surat al – Kahf, for they are your protection from his trial. We asked: How long will he remain on the earth ? He replied : Forty days, one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and rest of his days like yours. We asked : Messenger of Allah, will one day’s prayer suffice us in this day which will be like a year ? He replied : No, you must make an estimate of its extent. Then Jesus son of Marry will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus. He will then catch him up at the date of Ludd and kill him.  

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ إِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ دُونَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَلَسْتُ فِيكُمْ فَامْرُؤٌ حَجِيجُ نَفْسِهِ وَاللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاتِحَ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ فَإِنَّهَا جِوَارُكُمْ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ قُلْنَا وَمَا لُبْثُهُ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا يَوْمٌ كَسَنَةٍ وَيَوْمٌ كَشَهْرٍ وَيَوْمٌ كَجُمُعَةٍ وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ كَأَيَّامِكُمْ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَسَنَةٍ أَتَكْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلاَةُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ قَالَ لاَ اقْدُرُوا لَهُ قَدْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ شَرْقِيَّ دِمَشْقَ فَيُدْرِكُهُ عِنْدَ بَابِ لُدٍّ فَيَقْتُلُهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus ﷺ. He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ يَعْنِي عِيسَى وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ بَيْنَ مُمَصَّرَتَيْنِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ فَيُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الإِسْلاَمَ وَيُهْلِكُ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The prophets are like brothers, their religion is the same, but their mothers are different. I am the closest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary, because there was no prophet between me and him. He will descend so when you see him, recognize him. He is a man with a reddish-white complexion, as if his head is dripping water. Even if he does not get his hands wet, he will break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the Jizya, and put an end to all religions except Islam. Allah will destroy the false messiah during his time. Security will prevail on earth to the extent that camels can graze with lions, tigers with cows, and wolves with sheep. Children and youth will play with snakes and scorpions and will not harm one another. This time will last as long as Allah wills, then he (Jesus) will die, and the Muslims will pray over him and bury him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلَّاتٍ دِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَأُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى وَأَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ سَبْطٌ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ بَيْنَ مُمَصَّرَتَيْنِ فَيَكْسِرُ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيُعَطِّلُ الْمِلَلَ حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلُ كُلُّهَا غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَيُهْلِكُ اللهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ الْكَذَّابَ وَتَقَعُ الْأَمَنَةُ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى تَرْتَعَ الْإِبِلُ مَعَ الْأُسْدِ جَمِيعًا وَالنُّمُورُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ وَيَلْعَبَ الصِّبْيَانُ وَالْغِلْمَانُ بِالْحَيَّاتِ لَا يَضُرُّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَيَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى فَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ  

[Machine] That the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Indeed, the spirit of Allah, Jesus son of Mary, will descend among you. When you see him, recognize him as a man with a reddish and white complexion, wearing two garments that are pressed. It will appear as if water is dripping from his head, even though he does not become wet. He will break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizyah tax, and call people to Islam. Allah will destroy the false messiah during his time, and trust will be placed on the people of the earth to the extent that the lion will graze with camels and the tiger with cows, and the wolf will live peacefully with sheep. Children will play with snakes and they will not harm them. He will remain among you for forty years and then pass away, and the Muslims will offer prayers upon him."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ رُوحَ اللَّهِ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ نَازِلٌ فِيكُمْ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ مُمَصَّرَانِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ وَتَقَعُ الْأَمَنَةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى تَرْعَى الْأَسْوَدُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ وَالنُّمُورُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ وَيَلْعَبُ الصِّبْيَانُ مَعَ الْحَيَّاتِ لَا تَضُرُّهُمْ فَيَمْكُثُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "The prophets are like brothers from different mothers, and their religions may vary. But I am the closest among all people to Jesus, the son of Mary, and indeed, he will descend. So recognize him, for he is a man with fair complexion, as if his head drips water. Even though he does not have any ailment, he will eradicate the cross, kill the swine, distribute wealth, abolish the Jizyah (tax), and in his time, Allah will destroy all faiths except Islam. Allah will destroy the misguided, blind, deceitful Messiah, and He will cause trustworthiness to prevail until lions will graze with camels, tigers with cattle, and wolves with sheep. Children will play with snakes without harm."  

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْأَنْبِيَاءُ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلَّاتٍ وَأُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى وَأَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَاعْرِفُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ يَنْزِعُ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بِلَّةٌ وَإِنَّهُ يَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيُفِيضُ الْمَالَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْلِكُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَيَهْلِكُ اللَّهُ الْمَسِيحَ الضَّالَّ الْأَعْوَرَ الْكَذَّابَ وَيُلْقِي اللَّهُ الْأَمَنَةَ حَتَّى يَرْعَى الْأَسَدُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ وَالنَّمِرُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ وَيَلْعَبُ الصِّبْيَانُ مَعَ الْحَيَّاتِ لَا يَضُرُّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All the prophets are brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one. And I am the closest of people to Jesus son of Mary, for there is no prophet between me and him. He will descend, so when you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, with reddish-white complexion, wearing two garments, and his head seeming as if it is dripping water, even though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the sake of Islam, break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizyah (tax), and Allah will destroy all religions except Islam during his time. He will kill the False Messiah (Dajjal), and peace and security will prevail on Earth, to the extent that lions will graze with camels, tigers with cows, and wolves with sheep. And young children will play with snakes without them harming anyone. He will stay on Earth for forty years, then he will pass away, and the Muslims will offer funeral prayer for him with the prayers of Allah upon him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلَّاتٍ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَأَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ بَيْنَ مُمَصَّرَيْنِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ فَيُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْإِسْلَامَ وَيُهْلِكُ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ وَتَقَعُ الْأَمَنَةُ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى تَرْتَعَ الْأُسْدُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ وَالنِّمَارُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ وَيَلْعَبَ الصِّبْيَانُ بِالْحَيَّاتِ لَا تَضُرُّهُمْ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ»  

"الأنبياءُ إِخوةٌ لِعَلَّات أُمَّهاتُهم شَتَّى ودينُهم واحدٌ، وإنِّي أَوْلى الناس بِعيسى ابنِ مريَم، لأنه لم يكن بَيني وبينه نَبيُّ وإنه نازلٌ فإذا رأَيتموه فاعرفوه، رجُلٌ مَربوع إِلى الحُمْرة والبيَاض عليه ثوبان مُمَصَّران، رَأسُهُ يَقْطِرُ وإِن لم يُصِبْه بَلَل، فَيدُقُّ الصليبَ ويقْتُلُ الخنْزيرَ، ويَضَع الجزْيَة، ويدعو الناسَ إِلى الإِسلام فَيُهْلكُ في زَمَانه المِلَل كُلَّها إلا الإِسلام، وترتعُ الأُسودُ مع الإبل والنِّمارُ مع البَقَر، والذئابُ مع الغنم وَتلعب الصبيانُ بالحيَّاتِ فلا تضرهم، فَيَمْكثُ أربعيِنَ سَنة ثم يُتَوفى ويصلى عليه المسلمون".
