Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكُمُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا فَيَكْسِرَ الصَّلِيبَ، وَيَقْتُلَ الْخِنْزِيرَ، وَيَضَعَ الْجِزْيَةَ، وَيَفِيضَ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لاَ يَقْبَلَهُ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Qutayba ibn Said narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Ibn al-Musayyab, who heard Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, say that the Messenger of Allah said: “By Him in whose hand my soul is, the son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross, kill the pig, set aside the jizya, and wealth will flow abundantly until no one accepts it.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic says yadha al-jizya, literally to set down or lay aside the jizya. The English witness renders this as abolishing the tax.
