ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ آدَمَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 يُهْلِكَ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ 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 اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ، ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى ، فَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ " .
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, so 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. Drops of water will appear to be falling from his head, though he will not have been touched by wetness. Then he will break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizya, and invite people to Islam. In his time, Allah will erase all religions except Islam, and in his time, he will have the false messiah (Dajjal) killed, and peace and security will be established on the face of the earth, so much so that snakes will graze with camels, leopards with cows, and wolves with sheep, all drinking from the same place, and children will play with snakes and they will not harm them. In this way, Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) will live on the earth for forty years and then pass away, and the Muslims will perform his funeral prayer.
