أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" الْأَنْبِيَاءُ إِخْوَةٌ ، لِعَلَّاتٍ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى ، وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ ، وَأَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ ، وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ ، فَاعْرِفُوهُ رَجُلًا مَرْبُوعًا 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 الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْإِسْلَامَ ، وَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ ، وَتَقَعُ الْأَمَنَةُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ، حَتَّى تَرْتَعَ الْأُسُودُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ ، وَالنِّمَارُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ ، وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ ، وَيَلْعَبَ الصِّبْيَانُ بِالْحَيَّاتِ لَا تَضُرُّهُمْ ، فَيَمْكُثُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All the noble prophets (peace be upon them) are like paternal brothers (who have the same father but different mothers); all of their mothers are different but their religion is one. And among all people, I am the closest to Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) because there is no prophet between me and him, and soon he will descend upon the earth. Therefore, when you see him, recognize him by the following signs: he will be a man of medium height, of a reddish-white complexion, wearing two garments dyed with saffron, and it will appear as if drops of water are falling from his head, though he will not be wet. Then he will break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizya, and invite people to Islam. In his time, Allah will destroy all religions except Islam, and in his time, he will have the Messiah Dajjal killed, and peace and security will prevail over the earth, so much so that snakes will graze with camels, leopards with cows, and wolves with sheep at the same watering place, and children will play with snakes and they will not harm them. In this way, Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) will remain on earth for forty years and then pass away, and the Muslims will perform his funeral prayer.
