তৃতীয় প্রসঙ্গ: পৃথিবীতে তাঁর অবস্থানের সময়কাল এবং তাঁর ওফাত ও দাফন

According to Imam Ahmad, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Dawud, Ibn Jarir, and Ibn Hibban, on his authority: he will remain for forty years, then he will pass away, the Muslims will perform the funeral prayer over him, and they will bury him beside our Prophet (ﷺ).

Imam Ahmad, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Ya'la, and Ibn Asakir recorded from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Isa ibn Maryam will descend and slay the Dajjal; then Isa will remain on the earth for forty years as a just leader and an equitable arbiter."

Imam Ahmad recorded in 'al-Zuhd' from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "Isa ibn Maryam will remain for forty years; if he were to say to the wide gravel valley, 'Flow with honey,' it would surely flow." In 'al-Muntazam' by Imam Ibn al-Jawzi, it is narrated from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Isa ibn Maryam will descend, marry, and have offspring; some of them mentioned two sons, one named Musa and the other Muhammad, and their mother will be from Yazd. He will remain for forty-five years, then die and be buried with me in my tomb, and Isa and I will rise from a single grave between Abu Bakr and Umar." It is as though the narrations citing forty years omitted the fractional years, and in another narration it is stated: "He will remain for seven years."
