Peace, all.
I just wanted to share this (reported) saying of Prophet Muhammad about Jesus that I like very much (from the Bukhari hadith:)
...[Prophet Muhammad] said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it."...(Book #55, Hadith #657)
Peace.
PS: For the record, I am not a Muslim. I am a Sabian who believes that Muhammad was a Prophet.
This is indeed a Hadith (a saying of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family). However, Muhammad spoke to the people according to what they understood. This is a very well known concept in Islam, we only talk to people according to what they understand. That is why the Hadith that you mention is not to be understood word per word.
I have talked in this thread about who Jesus is in Islam.
