The Dajjal And The Return of Jesus_ Yusuf Ibn Abdullah Ibn Yusuf Al Wabil

---
The Duration ef his Stqy efter his Descenion & his Death
While in the narration of Imam A]:imad and Abu Dawud it
occurs,
"He will remain upon the earth for forty years. Then
he will die and Muslims will pray (the funeral prayer)
upon him." 100
Both of these narrations are authentic and it is difficult (to
harmonized between them) except if the narration of seven years
refers to the duration of his stay after his descension, which is to
be added to his (initial) stay upon the earth before he was raised
to the sky, his age being at that time thirty-three years as is well
known. 1111
And Allah knows better
