3448. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “By Him (Allāh) in Whose Hands my soul is, surely [‘Īsā (Jesus)], the son of Maryam (Mary) عليها السلام (Muslims) will shortly descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ān (as a just ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya(1) (i.e., taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allāh [in Ṣalāt (prayers)] will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abū Hurairah added: “If you wish, you can recite (this Verse of the Qur’ān) :- ‘And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him (i.e., Īsā, son of Maryam, as only a Messenger of Allāh and a human being) before his [Īsā عليه السلام or a Jew’s or a Christian’s] death; (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection he (Īsā عليه السلام) will be a witness against them.’” (V.4:159) (See Faṭḥ Al-Bārī) [According to the quotation of Kushmaihani there is “Al-Jizya” instead of Al-Ḥarb”].
