He said, “He who will fight with the companion of Jesus the son of Mary.

He said, “He who will fight with the companion of Jesus the son of Mary.”[^5] It is reported that Abu ‘Abd Allah (‘a) said, “Jesus the son of Mary is the Spirit of Allah and His Word. He was thirty-three years old in the world. Then Allah raised him to heaven. He will descend to the earth and it is he who will kill the Antichrist (Dajjal.)”[^6] Abu Ja‘far (‘a) about the verse O you who believe!

Be helpers of Allah, as Jesus the son of Mary said to his disciples, ‘Who will be my helpers in the cause of Allah?’ The disciples said, We are the helpers of Allah. So, a party of the children of Israel believed and another party disbelieved. Then We aided those who believed against their enemy, and they became uppermost (61:14) said, “The group that became disbelievers was the group that killed and crucified one who was similar to Jesus (‘a).

The group that became believers was the group [one of whose members] accepted the one who was like Jesus so that he would not be killed. Then the group that killed and crucified him was killed.

This is [the explanation of] His saying, Then We aided those who believed against their enemy, and they became uppermost.(61:14) [^7] It is reported that Jesus will say to al-Mahdi, “I was raised as a minister not as a commander.”[^8] Hudhayfah reported that the Prophet (S) said, “Al-Mahdi will turn his face to Jesus when he descends as if water were dropping from his hair, and will say to him, ‘Go ahead and say the prayer.’ Jesus will say, ‘The prayer has been set up only for you.’ So, Jesus will pray behind a man who is among my sons.”[^9] 10 It is reported that Ka‘b said, “Jesus will descend from heaven.

Then the Jews and Christians will come to him and say, ‘We are your people.’ He will say, ‘You lie. The emigrants, the rest of the people of battles, are my people.’ Then Jesus will come to the place that the Muslims are gathered and find their Caliph[^10] is praying with them, who will say to him, ‘O Christ! Pray in front of us.’ He will say, ‘But you pray with your people.

I have been raised as a minister, not as a commander.’[^11] The Apostle of Allah (S) said, “…The leader of the people on that day will be a righteous man. It will be said that he prays the morning prayer. When he says “Allah Akbar” and begins to pray, Jesus the son of Mary (‘a) will descend. When the righteous man sees him, he will know him, return and walk back. Then Jesus (‘a) will come, put his hand between his shoulders and say, ‘Pray.
