Are the hadiths that mention that Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend at the white minaret east of Damascus or at the Umayyad Mosque authentic?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Ahadith indicate that Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) - peace be upon him - will descend near the white minaret to the east of Damascus, as stated in Sahih Muslim. He will descend between two cloaks dyed with saffron, placing his palms on the wings of two angels. It is mentioned in some narrations that he will descend in Jordan or among the Muslim army. There is no contradiction between these locations, as they are all situated in the same region.
