What is the authenticity of the hadith mentioned in Tafsir al-Tabari (6/154) under number (6544) and by Ibn Abi Hatim (9/408), which states: "Do you not know that our Lord is Living and does not die, and that 'Isa (Jesus) will be subject to annihilation"?
Jesus, peace be upon him, is alive. Allah raised him to Himself, both in spirit and body. He did not die. He will descend at the end of time as a just ruler, break the cross, kill the swine, abolish the jizya, and slay the Dajjal (Antichrist). As for the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, I will take you in full and raise you to Myself" (Quran 3:55), what is meant by it is the taking of his spirit and body without death.
