The answer in brief
machinesummary, machine-writtenMuslims have had to invent a reason for Jesus's return; killing a Dajjal who melts on sight is an anti-climax, and the other tasks contradict Jesus's own character and the Quran.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says Ibn Hajar called the Mahdi mutawatir and al-Shawkani brought fifty Mahdi hadith, more than for Jesus, with Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, al-Sakhawi and others [?] all calling it mutawatir, yet the Mahdi is absent from Tahawi and the early books of Ash'ari creed, which he calls a big problem for his critics. Restating why he gave this backdrop, he says the return reads exactly like the gospels and that Muslims seem to have tried too hard to find a reason for it: Jesus comes to kill the Dajjal, but the Dajjal melts the moment he appears, an anti-climax he compares to a disappointing Mayweather fight, when the Mahdi or the Muslims could have killed him. He asks why Jesus, himself a Jew who preached love and turning the other cheek, would return to kill the Jews, force everyone into Islam, rule over Jew and Gentile as judge with no one's faith counting any more, and kill pigs, when Imam Malik's sahih report has him greeting a pig in peace. He says that looking at the Quran and the Sunnah is the point.

Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says Muslims seem to try hard to invent a reason for Jesus to return, and that the tasks the reports give him contradict the love and compassion of his life.
“so it seems that Muslims are almost trying really hard to make up a reason for why Jesus has to come back because oh he has to kill the Jews”

has knowledge about the end of time is that what I mean they can say yeah but knowledge hear me the sign it's the mean whoa what's all this interpretation I thought you said God is so clearly said this in the Quran so look this people is my summary of saying look these people quoting all these things have contradictions them quoting this being motivated doesn't make sense because they reject themselves so many motivated alleged claims them saying each man that scholars reject this and they disagree amongst himself I'm saying this is in the books of a fee that is interesting
because what about the Maddy do you know who said the Maddy was motivated even a Hodja said he was motivated show candy brings more hadith for the mackney then he does for Jesus he brings 50 hadith regarding the Maddy if natural Haytham me a Sahara is safari me Albert is mg all these people say the Maddy is motor water yet it's not in the Howie you know your sacred the Howie if you reject the line of the Howie it's not in the early books of art either a
shoddy Creed oh this one big problem so this is that so the point is look I gave all this backdrop to and I really went on today about this because I felt it created such a discussion online I wanted people to understand where I'm coming from why I feel this is because it reads exactly from the Gospels and
then the detail of this because the big question is why is he actually coming because then it looks like Muslims have tried too hard to find a reason for his coming oh because he's gonna kill the judge but then the jail just dies straight away as soon as he's here I mean you know if that was all he was why not the Madi just kill him or why not the Muslims just get together and kill him well why create you know this was the the big fear that as soon as Jesus comes he just melts I mean that sounds to be it an anti-climax isn't it like oh here's this great rest you know this great
showdown between the great titans but as soon as he comes Jesus dead it's like yeah should I at least put up a bit of a fight you know like people do know this it's more disappointing then it's more disappointing than then some of these boxing matches what's-his-name Mayweather that big fight of Mayweather that everybody stayed up to watch I don't actually follow boxing but those fights are disappointing so you think well look come on there should be some awesome showdown but no so it seems that Muslims
are almost trying really hard to make up a reason for why Jesus has to come back because oh he has to kill the Jews and then the rocks will stop but why does he have to you know what is all this about hating Jews all of a sudden like why do we have to hate Jews I'm like I don't get this like it's really all of a sudden and Jesus is a Jew by the way Jesus a Jewish you know it doesn't make any sense and Jesus spent his whole life speaking about love and compassion and turn the other cheek and no you know I don't want to fight and all of a sudden he comes back and now he's this kind of like a force everybody to be Muslim and
I'm here and I'm gonna rule over Jew and Gentile and I'm this kind of judge and by the way nobody's faith counts anymore and and all these things so look so this is why and by animals will become vegetarians and all animals are safe except pigs because Jesus is going around killing pigs which makes no sense obviously why these guinea pigs but anyway he's killing pigs but what does 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 the Sun now the Sun a
people Quran and the Sunnah the Quran and the Sunnah 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 a hadith we find it conflicting with the 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 feeder the
