ibn Maryam
*Please appropriately reference

Question:
What is the news concerning the awaiting Mahdee and the descending
of 'Eesaa (Jesus) the son of Mary (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)?
Response:
As regards the Mahdee, then it has been mentioned in the ahaadeeth
that he shall rule this ummah,
so refer to ((Sunan Abee Daawood)) and ((Sunan Ibn Maajah))
and other than these from the books of the Sunnah
as the ahaadeeth
are mentioned therein. (However), there is nothing mentioned
in the authentic ahaadeeth
indicating a specific time (for his appearance). Likewise,
that which is mentioned regarding 'Eesaa (Jesus) the son of
Mary (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), then refer to the book ((at-Tasreeh
feemaa Tawaatara fee Nuzool al-Maseeh)) and the ((Tafseer
Ibn Katheer)), at the point where it mentions:
{But
Allaah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto
Himself...}
[Soorah
an-Nisaa., Aayah
158]
And
(likewise) nothing is mentioned in the authentic ahaadeeth,
according to that which we know, indicating a specific time
for his descending, however, there is mention that he will
descend when the Dajjaal
appears.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
