Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #22396 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Isa (Jesus, AS), son of Maryam, was not killed or crucified; Allah raised him up. Near the end of time he descends again, kills the Dajjal, and rules by the law of Muhammad ﷺ as a just ruler.

[Described Characteristics]: He descends at the white minaret east of Damascus, wearing two saffron-dyed garments, his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall like pearls. He finds the Dajjal at the gate of Lud and kills him. He breaks the cross, kills the pig, abolishes the jizyah, and wealth becomes so plentiful no one accepts it. He lives on earth for a time, marries, then dies and the Muslims pray over him.

[Timeline & Context]: He descends during the Dajjal's forty days, just as the Muslims are getting ready for prayer, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj come out in his time.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever of you meets him, convey my salam to him.

[Core Subject]: Ghazwat al-Hind is an expedition to al-Hind (the Indian subcontinent) that the Prophet ﷺ promised, with great reward for those who take part.

[Described Characteristics]: In the hadith of Thawban, which al-Albani graded sahih, two groups of the ummah are protected from the Fire: one that fights in al-Hind, and one that will be with Isa ibn Maryam. The narrations of Abu Hurayrah on the same subject have weak chains.

[Timeline & Context]: The sahih text gives no time. Scholars differ: some say it was fulfilled by the early campaigns into Sindh (Muhammad ibn al-Qasim, 92 AH) and later ones; others connect it with the time of Isa (AS) because the two groups are named together.

[Prophetic Practice]: Read the narration with its grade, and be wary of anyone who uses it to stir hatred between neighbours.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : India (al-Hind).
