English translation

4324. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no Prophet between myself and him" – meaning 'Eisā. "He will descend and when you see him you should recognize him, a man of medium height with a reddish complexion, wearing two garments Mumaṣṣarah,[2] with his head looking as if it is dripping although it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam, and he will break the cross and kill the pigs, and he will abolish the Jizyah. At his time Allāh, will cause all religions to perish except Islam, and he will destroy Al-Masihid-Dajjal. He will remain on the earth for forty years, then he will die, and the Muslims will perform the funeral prayer for him.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

4324 - حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ آدَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ - يَعْنِي عِيسَى - وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ: رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ، بَيْنَ مُمَصَّرَتَيْنِ، كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ، فَيُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ، وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ، وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ، وَيُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْإِسْلَامَ، وَيُهْلِكُ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ، فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ "
