What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Imam Malik's Muwatta contains no hadith of Jesus's return and has Jesus greeting a pig in peace; Mufti Abu Layth reads this as Malik rejecting Zuhri's reports, half of which carry the return narrative.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth continues the list of details: lions grazing with camels, children playing with snakes, all animals turning vegetarian while Jesus kills the pigs, which he says contradicts the Quran's teaching that everything has its nature. He then turns to Imam Malik, whom he calls a saviour for the Ummah in these times, saying Malik taught not to accept hadith blindly, that one-from-one transmission would snatch the religion away, and that the Muwatta, one of the oldest compilations, has chapters on the end times, faith and Paradise but nothing on Jesus returning. He says almost half of the Jesus reports come through Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, that Malik, Zuhri's most reliable student, transmitted only about three hundred of his hadith and left a container of some twelve thousand he refused to transmit because they did not make sense. He says Malik held that Jesus died a natural death, and that the Muwatta's kitab al-jami' has Jesus telling a pig to pass by in peace, the character of a prophet of love, against reports of him killing pigs; he reads this, together with Malik's report of the Prophet's dream description of Jesus and a report of Jesus performing Hajj that was excluded from the final version, as Malik pointing out that Ibn Shihab's details were not right. He notes that in these reports Jesus's geography is Damascus, Jerusalem and Mount Sinai, never Makkah or Madinah, and says the detail clashes so much with Islam that the whole must be weighed, promising to come to tawatur and ijma later.

Position stated

correctedChecked by two independent reviews, not by the channel

Mufti Abu Layth holds that Imam Malik deliberately left the hadith of Jesus's return out of the Muwatta, transmitting only a fraction of al-Zuhri's reports, and that Malik's refusal to accept isolated hadith blindly is the approach to follow.

In his words

“is this a coincidence that Imam Malik doesn't bring any hadith to do with Jesus coming back but then he brings this hadith to show that Jesus said to the pig that go with peace”

be peace and he will rule over Jew Jew and Gentile and apparently the Muslims are saying the same thing now when Jesus comes he will establish it'll be saw and what do these same sorry I did say animals all become vegetarians people this is what the hadith says no I'm not I'm not misquoting this that Lions will now sit with camels Tigers will now sit with buffaloes and cows and graze with them they will graze with them and they will become now Lions will become herbivores and vegetarians children will pray around with play around snakes this is what the hadith says what does Allah saying for I know animals all of you

58:37

have your own nature what does that need saying no no even the nature of animals will change with Jesus Christ they will all become vegetarians on earth by the way all animals will be safe except pigs which Jesus will go around killing himself why is he killing pigs for God's sake I doesn't make any sense but but he's gonna kill the pigs anyway now what's interesting is when you look at him and Malak in my malik people wallah he now that is a savior for this on my in these times of distress what did Imam Ali teach he taught us do

59:15

not blindly just accept these hadith he said go for the sooner the sooner the sooner people in my Malik in his famous statement said that this one hadith from one in a wide and wide he n0 demon Benny they it will snatch the Dean from in front of you now it's interesting Imam Malik has one of the oldest compilations of hadith today in the world the Mokpo did he bring any hat does he bring hadith - what does he bring he brings all kinds of hadith in me does he bring hadith about the end of times yes does he bring hadith about Iman yes does he bring hadith about Jenna yes does he bring hadith about Oh

59:52

what does he say about Jesus he doesn't say anything about Jesus coming again do you know something most of all most sorry not most almost half of these hadith to do with Jesus all come through who she had with Dina Zoe come through she have Adina Zoe one narrator most of them comes through are not most about half of them come through him who is the most reliable person through Shehab Adina sorting all the most of my hadith in say who is it Imam Malik do you know Imam Malik only

1:00:30

transmitted 300 of his hadith and in when Imam Malik died Imam Malik said that I have so many hadith of zouri which I refused to transmit when Imam Malik died they found this large container with up to 12,000 hadith of zuri which Imam Malik refused to transmit because he knew they didn't make sense right check this out then in my mind it goes on to teach which even harsher and all these other people bring is transmitted in the lot to me he said Jesus died a natural death on earth Jesus died a

1:01:10

natural death right he wasn't crucified on the cross but afterwards he died a natural death what else does he man Malik bringing his mortal people what do these hadith say these hadith say that Jesus Christ when he comes down youngji loafie come upon the Maryam and he will yell to Lindsay he will kill the pig kill the pig what is in the most part imam malik al re Duns of this thing Don's of this thing he brings a hadith in his kitab Oh Jemmy from transmitting about Jesus the Son of

1:01:48

Mary may peace and blessings be upon him he was walking with his companions and saw a pink this is my mannequin is more thought marubi in zeal he walked past a pig what did Jesus say what did Jesus say my Malik brings he stopped them and he said to the pig unfelt be Salah pass by with peace that is the character of our beloved prophet Jesus as we know him a prophet of God who was about love

1:02:25

Jesus Christ was all about love he said this isn't a mothball Imam Malik he says to the pig go by peace what do these people transmit he will be killing pigs this is this a coincidence that Imam Malik doesn't bring any hadith to do with Jesus coming back but then he brings this hadith to show that Jesus said to the pig that go with peace is it a coincidence you know they say Imam Malik not in his final version of the more table or in other transmissions to even know what happened other people he brings a hadith about Jesus Christ not about him coming but Jesus Christ doing

1:03:03

Hajj do you know first of all Imam Malik excluded that from his final version but do you know why he brings that in my understanding Imam Malik was trying to show us something Imam Malik brings one narration in his Mata about Jesus the prophet saw him in a dream and his description of his skin color and stuff like this he brings the narration which goes against the other narration of ignition observing to show that what Abner Shahab is transmitting even those details are not right and in these other according to even Wahab when

1:03:42

he said about the Hajj in my understanding why did he bring this because when we look at all of these narrations of Jesus Christ where is Jesus in Damascus in Damascus do you know in some of hadith when Jesus when there's a problem it mentions that there will be a tribulation a fitna and Jesus has to save mankind do you know where it says we're gonna take him do you know we're so sorry do you know where it says Jesus will take mankind to save them like where does he take mankind to save them is it Makkah because the Prophet in some

1:04:20

hadith he this hadith about the Dajjal not being able to come to Mohammed it no is it Medina not wrong again where does Jesus take them to save them Mount Sinai Mount Sinai it seems to be all about Damascus Jerusalem Mount Sinai nothing about Makkah Medina this once again was the reason that Imam Malik brought that earlier on to show look Oh what about this transmission it contradicts what they say and then in his final version of the map I even left

1:04:59

that out right ok so these are some interesting points people that we have to people say what about the dye job I'm gonna come to the point on tour tour and iijima so it's not that I'm forgetting that but I'm just mentioning the detail why the detail clashes with Islam so much that the message that Allah - that Islam must be reasoned out that a lot of taught that there's no force in Islam the hadith say that they will be forced and Allah teaches that people will always remain in disagreement till the end of time and if Allah wanted they could have all had faith but the hadith teaches no but Jesus Christ when he comes they will all believe the hadith

1:05:38

teaches that that they will always be disagreements people will always do evil the Chloe the Quran teaches that the hadith iya says this hadith e essays of Jesus Christ when he comes evil will disappear and the Quran and the Sunna teach that everything has a nature humans animals these hadith over here teach all animals will all become vegetarians they will all become like this and these people do you know what they will do they will then interpret they will then take all but this doesn't mean this is a metaphor this is this this is exaggeration oh really so now we can exaggerate
