Qur'anic Indications Are Strong But Not Explicit
- The Qur'an contains verses that strongly suggest but do not definitively state Isa's return.
- Early exegetes largely read these verses as indicating a future return, though minority readings exist.
Hadiths Provide Clear, Repeated Testimony
- Hadith literature provides numerous explicit reports of Isa's descent, including mutawātir claims.
- Sahih Bukhari and Muslim contain key narrations that make the hadith evidence clear and central.

- Many major scholars across disciplines considered the reports of Isa's return to be mutawātir.
- This consensus spans hadith specialists, mufassirūn, and theologians historically.
