The hadeeth "There is no Mahdi except `Eesa" is not saheeh

Question:

Is the hadeeth "There is no Mahdi except `Eesa" saheeh?.


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

This hadeeth was narrated by Ibn Maajah in his Sunan (4039).

Almost all the muhadditheen (hadeeth scholars) are agreed that this hadeeth is da'eef (weak)"

It was classed as da'eef by al-Bayhaqi, al-Haakim, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah in Manhaaj al-Sunnah (8/256), and Ibn al-Qayyim in al-Manaar al-Muneef (p. 148).

Al-Dhahabi said in Meezaan al-I'tidal (3/535): it is a munkar report.

Al-Qaari said in Mirqaat al-Mafaateeh (10/183): it is da'eef according to the consensus of the muhadditheen.

It was mentioned by al-Shawkaani in al-Qawaa'id al-Majmoo'ah, 127. He said: al-San'aani said: (it is) mawdoo' (fabricated).

Al-Albaani said in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Da'eefah (77): It is munkar.

Even if this hadeeth were saheeh _ but it is not saheeh _ the meaning would be that there is no one who perfectly guided (mahdi) or protected from sin and error except `Eesa ibn Maryam. This was stated by al-Qurtubi, Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn Katheer.

This does not contradict the fact that the Mahdi will emerge at the end of time and that he will join forces with `Eesa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him), and `Eesa will pray behind him in congregation.

Is it possible to trust all ahaadeeth?

Question:

Is it possible to trust all ahaadeeth?


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Among the ahaadeeth which are attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), there are some which are saheeh (sound), concerning which there is no doubt that they are the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). There are others which are da'eef (weak) and there are doubts that they can be attributed to him. Both saheeh and da'eef are well known to the scholars. Books of saheeh have been compiled which include saheeh ahaadeeth such as Saheeh al-Bukhaari and Saheeh Muslim; there are other books which include saheeh ahaadeeth and others, like the other books of hadeeth, The scholars have gone to great lengths to distinguish the saheeh from others, as is well known to young students let alone those who have specialized in the study of the Sunnah.

INTRODUCTION

JESUS IS A UNIQUE FIGURE IN HUMAN HISTORY. His words and deeds inspire many, and his life continues to fascinate and raise questions.

The Quran tells the story of the conception and birth of Jesus and the difficulty Mary went through; it affirms Jesus' many miracles, summarizes his mission and call to God, refers to and praises the disciples, discusses the plot to kill Jesus and his ascension, and alludes to his expected second coming. In fact, Jesus and his mother, Mary, are two of the main figures in The Quran, presented as examples for all to follow.
