Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,
«الْأَنْبِيَاءُ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلَّاتٍ،
أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى، وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَإِنِّي أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ
مَرْيَمَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَإِذَا
رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ: رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ، عَلَيْهِ
ثَوْبَانِ مُمَصَّرَانِ، كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ،
فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ، وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ، وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ، وَيَدْعُو النَّاسَ
إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَيُهْلِكُ اللهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْإِسْلَامَ،
وَيُهْلِكُ اللهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ،ثُمَّ تَقَعُ الْأَمَنَةُ عَلَى
الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى تَرْتَعَ الْأُسُودُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ، وَالنِّمَارُ مَعَ الْبَقَرِ،
وَالذِّئَابُ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ، وَيَلْعَبُ الصِّبْيَانُ بِالحَيَّاتِ لَا تَضُرُّهُمْ،
فَيَمْكُثُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى، وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُون»
(The Prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion
is one. I, more than any of mankind, have more right to `Isa, son of Maryam, for
there was no Prophet between him and I. He will descend, and if you see him, know
him. He is a well-built man, (the color of his skin) between red and white. He will
descend while wearing two long, light yellow garments. His head appears to be dripping
water, even though no moisture touched it. He will break the cross, kill the pig,
and banish the Jizyah and will call the people to Islam. During his time, Allah
will destroy all religions except Islam and Allah will destroy Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal
(the False Messiah). Safety will then fill the earth, so much so that the lions
will mingle with camels, tigers with cattle and wolves with sheep. Children will
play with snakes, and they will not harm them. `Isa will remain for forty years
and then will die, and Muslims will offer the funeral prayer for him.) Abu Dawud
also recorded it.
