Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا بقية بن الوليد، عن صفوان، عن بعض المشيخة، عن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وذكر الهند، فقال: «ليغزون الهند لكم جيش، يفتح الله عليهم حتى يأتوا بملوكهم مغللين بالسلاسل، يغفر الله ذنوبهم، فينصرفون حين ينصرفون فيجدون ابن مريم بالشام» قال أبو هريرة: إن أنا أدركت تلك الغزوة بعت كل طارف لي وتالد وغزوتها، فإذا فتح الله علينا وانصرفنا فأنا أبو هريرة المحرر، يقدم الشام فيجد فيها عيسى ابن مريم، فلأحرصن أن أدنو منه فأخبره أني قد صحبتك يا رسول الله، قال: فتبسم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وضحك، ثم قال: «هيهات هيهات»

They will invade India. You have an army. Allah will grant them victory until they bring their kings bound in chains. Allah will forgive their sins. When they depart, they will find the son of Mary in the Sham (Greater Syria). Abu Hurairah said: If I achieve that raid, I will sell every one of my children and children and I will fight it. If Allah grants victory to us and we depart, then I will be Abu Hurairah the liberator. He will come to the Sham (Greater Syria) and find Jesus the son of Mary there, so be sure to get close to him and tell him that I have I am with you, O Messenger of Allah. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and laughed, then said: Far from it, very low.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1236 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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 : Sham (Greater Syria), India (al-Hind).
