The ruling on denying the descent of 'Isa (peace be upon him) in the end times

Question:
The Shaykh informed us, may Allah reward you. What is your opinion of a man who denies the descent of 'Isa (peace and blessings be upon him) in the end times, and says that the hadiths regarding this are ahad (reports with a limited chain)? Are they ahad or mutawatir (mass-transmitted reports)?

Answer:
The hadiths regarding the descent of the Messiah are said to be concealed. Some of them wrote a book titled "The Correction of What Has Been Mass-Transmitted Regarding the Stars of the Messiah," and it is a printed book. If they are mutawatir, then the one who denies them is a disbeliever. The Qur'an indicates the descent of 'Isa in the end times, and this is the saying of Allah the Exalted: This is a reference to his descent in the end times, and that the Jews and Christians will believe in him before his death (peace and blessings be upon him) if he descends.
And in His saying, the Exalted: "And it is indeed a sign of the Hour," meaning in the reading "And it is indeed a sign of the Hour," it means a sign among the signs of the establishment of the Hour. So among the signs of the Hour is the descent of the Messiah . Thus, his descent is among the signs, and this is by the Great Qur'an itself. As for the Sunnah, there are many hadiths that have reached the level of tawatur (mass transmission). The one who denies the descent of the Messiah is considered a disbeliever because he contradicted what the Qur'an indicated and what the Sunnah mass-transmitted, and the Muslims agreed upon the descent of the Messiah in the end times.
So here, he denied that person, Abu 'Ubayd. The scholars responded to him and refuted his doubts, praise be to Allah. Among that is what Shaykh Mahmud al-Suyuti (may Allah have mercy on him) responded with in his book "The Companions of the Community in the Signs of the Hour," refuting this idea and refuting 'Ubayd specifically, and he cited his statements, praise be to Allah, and others responded to him as well. Yes.
The majority of those who deny the existence of the Messiah are the rationalists. The rationalists do not believe in much of the Sunnah. They say, "Even if it were true, we would not believe in it as long as it is contrary to reason." We do not say that one of them asks, "What is in this?" May Allah be our helper. I say, "I am not prepared to abandon my reason for a hadith that is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." The matter is very serious, and the cure for that is... Yes.
Meaning, it is an imitation of those who rushed into the science of hadith and placed themselves in the position of Imam al-Bukhari, Muslim, and Imam Ahmad, and they began to authenticate. Among the wonders is that most of their studies are either physics, or medicine, or agriculture, or engineering, and they became distorters overnight, in the space of a day and night. And their entire study is theoretical, meaning worldly, which does not enable one to possess religious knowledge, because it is either agriculture, or medicine, or engineering, or physics, or whatever it is called. This is not among the wonders and strange things. Yes.
