The answer in brief
machinesummary, machine-writtenMuslims have no reason of their own for Jesus to return; Mufti Abu Layth rejects the descent hadith because they clash with the Quran and other hadith, not from any misunderstanding of yanzilu.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says John's gospel expects Jesus back within John's lifetime, Jews await a messiah to restore David's kingdom, and Christians need Jesus back to finish his mission; he asks why Muslims, who believe the Prophet Muhammad completed the message, would need him back, and finds the answers shocking. He says only a few hadith mention Jesus killing the Dajjal while most describe him as a judge, exactly as the gospels do, and that scholars such as Ibn Hajar say he comes to kill the Jews, which Mufti finds senseless two thousand years after the events. He then addresses the Mauritanian scholar Shaykh Salek bin Siddina, who refuted him in a video: Siddina said Ibn Ashur is not an authority because al-Bunnani [?] had said centuries earlier that no one after him would be, which Mufti counters with the verse that above every possessor of knowledge is one more knowing. Siddina also argued that yanzilu means to come down, not to be resurrected; Mufti replies that he understands the Arabic perfectly well and rejects these hadith because they clash with the Quran and with other hadith, and he rejects the charge that calling the return a Christian concept makes the Prophet a Christian.

Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says he does not accept the hadith of Jesus's descent because they clash with the Quran and with other hadith, not because of any misunderstanding of the Arabic yanzilu.
“no it's not that I don't understand the word yinz Luffy come it's that I don't accept these are these because they clash with the Quran and with other hadith”

why is Jesus coming back according to the Christians because he had to he was yet to fulfill his mission of making people believe in him he had to do this year to rule the world and hence st. John in his gospel says that he believes Jesus is gonna come back in his own lifetime now Jews believe a messiah is gonna come because he has to establish the kingdom of David Christians believe Jesus has to come back to do that why do muslims believe jesus is gonna come back when we believe that the prophet muhammed sallalahu lives and completed his message why you know when you ask this
question the answers are actually quite really it's shocking and why not another prophet why not Moses why not our own profit you see that they almost trying to make up an excuse for him to come back because you know this thing of him killing that the journal only comes in a few hadith most of them do not mention him killing the de jure most of them mention him coming as a judge to judge over mankind exactly what the gospel said what Christianity teaches right so
this thing that oh why is Jesus coming back why Jesus do you know what scholars like if Mahad you're saying you know what scholars life not just they say Jesus is coming back because he's gonna kill the Jews well like this is what they right he's gonna kill the Jews like you think what hahaha why is Jesus gonna kill the Jews oh yeah because they tortured him yeah but that was 2,000 years ago why isn't he gonna kill them it's enough if he wanted to take revenge why not kill them why is he coming 2,000
years later to kill these Jews like what have they done you know it's like how does that go in line with him being just so okay let's and do you know what they say by the way and chefs Alec Ben sadhana who is a Mauritania scholar I'd I believe in America some way I respect him as he's a Mauritania scholar senior kind of in age and things like this he also responded to me in a video refuted me saying these people are
misleading and so on and say don't listen to people like he said I'm not sure whether if not sure says this or not but if not sure is not an authority right because bonne année three hundred years before him said nobody after today will be an authority ok can you see how absurd these statements sound to non-muslims so like three hundred years ago somebody wrote that ok from today onwards nobody's can nobody is knowledgeable anymore but what does Allah say in the Quran well folk acutally the element aleem above every person of knowledge is somebody with greater knowledge but apparently Boone Ani realized that nobody has more
knowledge than him because he realized nobody has knowledge anymore and not only in his time he negated it for the future the audacity and wait a minute your knowledge to make that judgment is like so these kind of statements are trying to make people into black place blinkers on people are very irresponsible very irresponsible but then chefs Alec Ben Sydnor made an interesting point because I was glad somebody asked him the question he makes this thing and he goes on and then he he says first of all his arguments you know I I expect it better
I'm gonna be honest I thought you know from very learned scholar he said well this person is saying look why is Jesus gonna come how is he is gonna come down but the hadith says Yan Zi Luo Yin Zi Luo doesn't he understand Yan Zi no in Arabic means to come down like I don't carry like why doesn't the hadith say you buy a so he will be resurrected he says yen's illusions I mean I thought I thought honorable right yeah Allah may Allah bless you you know you're a senior to me right so you know in age and I and I humbly but you know for the love of God right obviously I don't accept those heady I mean it's not
that I then he said oh it's because people don't understand Arabic that they end up doing Kufa I thought okay I respect your Arabic is it must be awesome but Sheikh we do understand Arabic and we do understand this and no it's not that I don't understand the word yinz Luffy come it's that I don't accept these are these because they clash with the Quran and with other hadith and then in the India and then he said well for him to say that Jesus coming back as a Christian concept he's them claiming that the Prophet is a Christian you know and I thought stuff from Russia
I thought behaved you know behave like that kind of stuff is absurd to say right I'm actually saying that you guys are missing buting to our prophet statements right so and I'm going to highlight this okay like just actually which really if you had a critical mind you would understand that but okay what I wanted to come to was an interesting point when chef Seligman Cigna finishes his video it's not too long somebody asks him shake these people say like me and other people that if Jesus was to come down from the sky which by the way is a quote from the Bible and the Son of
