Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What will be your condition when the son of Maryam (peace be upon him) descends (from the sky), and then one from among you will lead you in prayer?" (The narrator, Walid bin Muslim, said:) I said to Ibn Abi Dhi’b: 'Awza’i narrated to me a hadith from Zuhri, from Nafi’, from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), in which it is mentioned: 'Your Imam will be from among yourselves.' Ibn Abi Dhi’b said: "Do you know what it means that your leadership will be from among yourselves?" I said: "You tell me." So he said: "Isa (peace be upon him) will lead you according to the Book of your Lord (i.e., the Noble Qur’an) and the Sunnah of your Prophet."
