What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth says the return narrations conflict with the Quran, the Sunnah and Islam's principles, rest on solitary reports that cannot found aqidah, and contradict one another, from Constantinople to who the Dajjal is. He notes that the hadith of Jibril on faith and the Prophet's answers on the signs of the hour do not mention Jesus.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth sums up his objections to the narrations of Jesus's return in three points. First, their details conflict with the overall message of the Quran, of the Sunnah and of the established principles of Islam. Second, they are established through khabar ahad, solitary reports, and are not part of aqidah in the way people have made them. Third, the narrations contradict each other massively: one says the Dajjal will come when the Muslims conquer Constantinople, which happened hundreds of years ago; others say the Dajjal already existed, or will be born later; one has the Prophet thinking the Dajjal was a particular Jew and saying he would deal with him himself without mention of Jesus; others say every prophet warned of the Dajjal, yet he melts like salt the moment Jesus appears. He adds that the setting in Damascus becomes prominent in the hadith only after the Muslims moved their capital there, and that when Jibril asks the Prophet what faith is, and when the Prophet is asked about the signs of the hour, Jesus is not mentioned.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth holds that the narrations of Jesus's return conflict with the Quran, the Sunnah and the established principles of Islam, are solitary reports that are not part of creed in the way people have made them, and contradict one another.
“when we look at the details of these hadith we find them conflicting with the overall message of the Quran with the overall message of the Sunnah and with the established principles in Islam”

Asahi Hadid say that Imam Malik brings that Jesus when he saw pigs he was really peaceful with pigs so you see when you look at this and the Sun so look my point isn't to I want to retry something does this one when you look at this to sum this up when we look at the overall message of these I hadith we find it conflicting with sorry when we look at the details of these hadith we find them conflicting with the overall message of the Quran with the overall message of the Sunnah
and with the established principles in Islam we saw so that's an issue secondly these things are established through hobro are hard they are not part of a leader the way people have made them okay so just to kind of establish just to kind of summarize these points thirdly these narrations contradict each other massively things like once Muslims conquer Constantinople the jail will come and Jesus will be here but then that's happened hundreds of years ago other narrations saying oh that the job was already the other naration saying no the job will be born later on other
narrations saying oh the the Prophet thought that the job was a Jew and then him saying don't worry I'll take care of him not mentioning Jesus other narrations saying every prophet warned about this dejar but then this the journal is such an anti-climax because the moment Jesus comes he just melts like snot like salt so it's like was that it really you know that was all that was gonna take and so so when you start looking at all of these things and all these miracles and then and also the Christian narrative of Mount Sinai Damascus all of sudden Damascus is interesting why Damascus become so interesting once the Muslims move the
capital offer a few decades to Damascus all of a sudden this hadith everything's happening in Damascus all of a sudden you know it's interesting that whoa okay you know but when the Prophet is asked by the angel jibreel what is faith he doesn't mention Jesus when he's asked about the hour what are the signs of the away doesn't mention Jesus so these are some things that I've kind of highlighted in showing okay
