# What does Mufti Abu Layth say about the Ibn Mas'ud hadith on the end of time and Jesus's return? *The Ibn Mas'ud report: the Christians' claim, unknown narrators and the fluid from beneath the Throne* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/s/28/ - Date: 2021-03-14 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Reply to Yasir Qadhi's False Claims on 2nd Coming of Jesus | Mufti Abu Layth (2:07:24–2:11:22) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3NSX3UFy8&t=7644s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/ **Topics:** Text criticism, reason and the Quran; Narrator criticism; The second coming of Jesus **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** The Ibn Mas'ud report has unknown narrators, opens by noting the Christians' claim that Jesus will return, and ends with life regrowing from a seminal fluid sent from beneath the Throne, a detail Mufti Abu Layth calls preposterous and uses to argue that such reports can be questioned. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says the Ibn Mas'ud report of the return opens by noting the Christians' claim that Jesus will return, which shows the belief creeping in, has unidentifiable narrators in its chain, and ends with life regrowing from a seminal fluid sent from beneath the Throne, a detail he calls preposterous. **Evidence, his words at 2:07:40:** “ibn masawa begins by saying that the christians claim jesus will come back you see this belief creeping in” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3NSX3UFy8&t=7660s) ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth turns to the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, noting that its chain contains a narrator nobody can identify, whose name is given variously, a problematised Hashim [?], and a barely known Abu Za'ra [?]. He points out that the report itself opens with Ibn Mas'ud saying that the Christians claim Jesus will come back, which he says shows the belief creeping in. The report then gives elaborate detail of the end of time: a wind, Gog and Magog, people dying and utter destruction, after which, Mufti says, bracing the audience, Allah sends down from beneath his Throne a fluid like the sperm of men, which showers the earth and from which life and the dead grow again. He repeats the passage, calls the idea of such a store beneath the Throne of God preposterous, and says this is one of the hadith Qadhi says cannot be questioned with reason. ## Sources and names cited - Ibn Mas'ud - report: ibn masud the christians claim jesus will return and after the destruction allah sends down a fluid from beneath the throne like the sperm of men from which the dead regrow - Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) - Yasir Qadhi ## Transcript (machine tier, 2:07:24–2:11:22) [2:07:05] there he's the only person to have ever said that and that's where he was massively undervalued now you tell me is that not suspicious right then i wanted to highlight and then wrap up as well all of this there's a hadith of ibn masarud he mentioned abnormal now this there's no idea who he is some people say his name is rafara afaza rafawa uh there's no idea hashem is problematized uh right but this is the hadith i wanted to [2:07:40] focus on people there is this hadith uh where first of all ibn masawa begins by saying that the christians claim jesus will come back you see this belief creeping in then obviously this chain is problematic as well it's got this uh abuza in it who's you know barely unknown and has problematized as well but anyway check this out more interesting people i want to bring your attention elaborate detail on the end of time [2:08:18] what's going to then happen is look at all of this what will he he goes through in you know details this is going to happen that's going to happen a wind is going to come yet george mcjugger's going to come people are going to die all this stuff but then what's going to happen after this utter destruction now this is the hadith he was saying that we can't question with reason now check this out [2:08:49] what does the hadith say at the end when there's utter destruction how will this be brought back to check this then allah will say no i have to translate this so brace yourselves people allah will send there's a fluid from beneath the arch which will ejaculate like the sperm of men [2:09:27] [Laughter] i i'm people let me repeat look at it for yourselves send down on earth shower down on earth fluid from beneath his arch so beneath his throne there's a collection of fluid which is kameni year rijal which is like the sperm of men [Laughter] this is going to shower down on the globe and what's gonna happen is this is gonna then give birth [2:10:03] to uh to once again life so sperm so for that people i had to have to so oh yeah blizzard huh [2:10:33] [Laughter] so allah is going to send down a blizzard of sperm like sorry man sperm like fluid so this and for some reason this sperm bank is under the throne of god i mean that's that's what this actually is saying look and it mentions yumny that this it will come down as it will be ejaculated down onto [2:11:11] what on earth is going on seriously i mean what on earth is going on here uh this is so preposterous honestly and you know people say that we can't problematize these hadith you know i wanted to highlight to you you know in one of the chains just before the ibnomus odd one uh there was uh there's in one of the chains there's this person yazidi he's in the chain not only now check this out this is a person who's transmitting this that jesus will come back not only is he not reliable and people ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment TR3NSX3UFy8/s/28. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/s/28/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
