- This hadith is a narration from Abu Huraira, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, one of the most authentic collections of hadith in Islam. The hadith refers to a future event when Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) will return to Earth and descend amongst the people.

This event is known as the Second Coming of Jesus.

In summary, this hadith highlights the important role of Prophet Jesus in Islamic eschatology and emphasizes the importance of unity and cooperation between different communities in the pursuit of justice and righteousness.
