Chapter: The descent of 'Eisa bin Mariam to judge according to the Shari'ah of our Prophet Muhammad (saws); And how Allah has honored this Ummah; And clarifying the evidence that this religion will not be abrogated; and that a group from it will continue to adhere to the truth and prevail until the day of resurrection
The same hadith is transmitted from Zuhri with the same chain of transmission. But in the tradition narrated by Ibn 'Uyaina the words are: impartial leader and just judge and in the tradition narrated by Yunus: the judge judging with justice and impartial leader are not mentioned. And in the hadith narrated by Salih like the one transmitted by Laith the words are: impartial judge . And in the hadith transmitted by Ziyad the words are: Till one sajda is better than the worldand what it contains. Then Abu Huraira used to say, recite if you like: Not one of the People of the Book will fail to believe in him before his death.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger or Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed: 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.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed: What will be your state when the son of Mary descends amongst you and there will be an Imam amongst you?
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that he heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: What would you do when the son of Mary would descend and lead you?
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed: What would you do when the son of Mary would descend amongst you and would lead you as one amongst you? Ibn Abi Dhi'b on the authority of Abu Huraira narrated: Your leader amongst you. Ibn Abi Dhi'b said: Do you know what the words: He would lead as one amongst you mean? I said: Explain these to me. He said: He would lead you according to the Book of your: Lord (hallowed be He and most exalted) and the Sunnah of your Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection. He said: Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their (Muslims') commander would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some (amongst you). This is the honour from Allah for this Ummah.
