Prophet Jesus's عليه
السلام
descent
and the killing of Dajjal (Anti-Christ)
Jesus
will descend at dawn, while the Muslims are preparing to pray the
early morning prayer.
Jabir
reported that Prophet Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said,
"A party of my followers will not cease to fight for victory
until the Day of Resurrection. He (the Prophet) said, then Jesus, son
of Mary, will come down. Their Imam will say," Come and lead our
prayer" He will reply, "Some of you are leaders over others
on account of divine honour upon these people." (Sahih
Muslim)
Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
"... then Jesus son of Mary عليه
السلام
will
descend. The leader of the Muslims will say to him, 'Come, lead us in
the Prayer', but he will say, 'No, you yourselves are leaders over
one another ." This, he will say: this is in view of the honour
that Allah has bestowed on this Nation (the Muslim nation)."
(Sahih Muslim and Musnad Ahmad)
Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
" While the Muslims will be making preparations to fight him
(Anti-Christ), they will be lining up (for the Prayer) and the lqamah
will have been pronounced, Jesus Son of Mary عليه
السلام
shall
descend and lead them in the Prayer; and Allah's enemy (Anti-Christ)
on seeing him (Jesus) shall start dissolving like salt in water. If
Jesus عليه
السلام
were
to leave him (Anti-Christ) alone, he (Anti-Christ) would melt to
death anyway, but Allah will have him (Anti-Christ) killed by his
(Jesus') hand, and he (Jesus) will show the Muslims his
(Anti-Christ's) blood on his (Jesus') spear." (Sahih Muslim).
Abu
Huraira reported that Prophet Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said,
"By the one whose hands my life is in, surely the Son of Mary
عليه
السلام
will
descend amongst you as a just ruler. He will destroy the cross (this
could mean that Jesus will put a final end to Christianity), kill the
pig (meaning Jesus will outlaw raising pigs) and abolish the Jizya
(this tax on Christians & Jews will be abolished because
Christianity and Judaism will end.)." (Sahih Bukhari)
Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
"In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and
this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesus عليه
السلام).
He (Jesus عليه
السلام
)
will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret
(tower), dressed in the two yellowish garments, with his hands
resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head,
water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it
will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any
disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up
to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary
will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate
of Lud , and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).
Abu
Umamah Al-Bahili said, " Prophet Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
delivered
a speech to us, most of which dealt with the Dajjal (the Anti-Christ)
and warned us against him. Umm Sharik bint Abi-'Akr said, ‘O
Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?’. Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said,
"At that time they will be few in number; most of them will be
in the Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their Imam will be a righteous
man. While their Imam is going forward to lead the people in the
morning prayer, Isa (Jesus) son of Mary will descend. The Imam will
step back, to let Jesus lead the people in prayer, but Jesus will
place his hand between the man's shoulders and say, 'Go forward and
lead the prayer, for the Iqamah was made for you.' So the Imam will
lead the people in prayer… Jesus son of Mary will be a just ruler
and leader of my Ummah (Nation). He will break the cross, kill the
pigs (outlaw raising pigs), and abolish the Jizya (tax on Christians
& Jews). He will not collect the Sadaqa (charity), so he will not
collect sheep and camels. Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear.
Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will
be able to put his hand into a snake's mouth without being harmed, a
small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf
will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The Earth will be
filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be
in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will
cease…” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)

Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
"Exactly at the time when the Imam of the Muslims will have
stepped forward to lead them in the Morning Prayer, Jesus son of Mary
عليه
السلام
shall
descend upon them. The Imam will step back so that Jesus may step
forward (to lead the Prayer), but Jesus عليه
السلام,
placing his hand between his two shoulders, will say, "No, you
should lead, for the congregation has assembled to follow you. So,
the Imam will lead the Prayer. After the salutation, Jesus will say,
"Open the gate;" so the gate will be opened. Outside, there
will be the Dajjal, along with 70,000 of the armed Jews. As soon as
the Anti-Christ sees Jesus (upon whom be peace), he will start
dissolving like salt in water, and will flee. Jesus will say, "I
shall strike you a blow which will not allow you survive." And
he (Jesus عليه
السلام)
will overtake him (Anti-Christ) at the eastern gate of Lud, and Allah
will cause the Jews to be defeated.... And the Earth will be so
filled with the Muslims as a vessel is filled with water. The entire
world shall recite and follow one and the same Kalimah (the testimony
of Islam: There is no god, but Allah. Mohammad is a Messenger of
Allah) and none shall be worshipped except Allah." (Ibn Majah).
Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
(while
relating the story of the Dajjal) said: "At that time, suddenly
Jesus son of Mary عليه
السلام
shall
appear among the Muslims. Then, the people will stand up for the
Prayer, and he (Jesus عليه
السلام)
will be asked, 'Step forward, Oh Spirit of Allah (and lead us in the
Prayer); but he (Jesus عليه
السلام)
will say, 'No, your own leader should step forward and lead the
Prayer.' Then, after offering the Morning Prayer, the Muslims shall
go forth to fight the Dajjal.' He said, 'When the Liar (Anti-Christ)
sees Jesus عليه
السلام,
he will start dissolving like salt in water. Then, Jesus عليه
السلام
will
advance towards him and will slay him; and it will so happen that the
trees and the stones will cry out: 'Oh Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew
hiding behind me.' None will be left from among the followers of the
Dajjal, whom he (Jesus عليه
السلام
)
will not kill." (Musnad Ahmad).
Prophet
Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
"Then in the morning, Jesus son of Mary عليه
السلام
will
join the Muslims, and Allah will cause the Dajjal and his followers
to be routed, until the walls and the roots of the trees will call
out: "Oh believer, here is a disbeliever hidden behind me: come
and kill him." (Musnad Ahmad and Al-Hakim).
Based
on Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, Prophet Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
" Every Kaafir (Disbeliever) who smells his sweet breath will
die and his breath will reach as far as he can see. On seeing prophet
Jesus عليه
السلام
,
Imam Mahdi will take a couple of steps backwards so Prophet Jesus
عليه
السلام
can
lead the prayer; however, Prophet Jesus عليه
السلام
will
place his hands on the Imam's shoulder and will say: 'Go forward and
lead the prayer as the Iqamah was made for you'. Thus Imam Mahdi will
lead the prayer." ( Ibn-Majah).
Abu
Huraira narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
said:
"How will you be if the Son of Mary (Jesus عليه
السلام)
descends on you and your Imam (leader of prayer) is one of you?"
(Sahih Bukhari)
حدثنا
قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا يعقوب يعني ابن عبد
الرحمن عن سهيل عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة
أن
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لا
تقوم الساعة حتى يقاتل المسلمون اليهود
فيقتلهم المسلمون حتى يختبئ اليهودي من
وراء الحجر والشجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجر
يا مسلم يا عبد الله هذا يهودي خلفي فتعال
فاقتله إلا الغرقد فإنه من شجر اليهود
Abu
Huraira reported Allah's Messenger صلى
الله عليه وسلم
as
saying: "The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight
against the Jews and the Muslims kill them to the extent that the
Jews will hide behind a rock or a tree and the rock or the tree will
say: O' Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come
and kill him; but the Gharqad tree ( Boxthorn tree) will not say that
because it is the tree of the Jews." (Sahih Muslim) The Jews are
currently planting lots of Gharqad trees in Israel to protect them.
الدجال
يخرج في بغض من الناس وخفة من الدين وسوء
ذات بين، فيرد كل منهل، فتطوى له الأرض
طي فروة الكبش، حتى يأتي المدينة، فيغلب
على خارجها، ويمنع داخلها، ثم جبل إيلياء،
فيحاصر عصابة من المسلمين، فيقول لهم
الذي عليهم:
ما
تنتظرون بهذا الطاغية أن تقاتلوه حتى
تلحقوا بالله أو يفتح لكم، فيأتمرون أن
يقاتلوه إذا أصبحوا، فيصبحون ومعهم عيسى
ابن مريم ، فيقتل الدجال، ويهزم أصحابه،
حتى إن الشجر والحجر والمدر يقول:
يا
مؤمن!
هذا
يهودي عندي؛ فاقتله
.
رواه
الحاكم في "مستدركه"،
وقال "صحيح
الإسناد ولم يخرجاه"،
وقال الذهبي في "تلخيصه":
"على

".
قلت:
وله
حكم المرفوع؛ لأن مثله لا يقال من قبل
الرأي، وإنما يقال عن توقيف.
