{{See also|Hadith of Jesus Praying Behind Mahdi}}

The [[Hadith]]s are reported sayings of Muhammad that developed a canonical status in the third Muslim century as a source of authority for the Muslim community. The Muslim perception of Jesus emerging from the Hadiths is of a miraculous, sinless, and eschatological figure, pointing people, again according to the Muslim's perspective of prophethood, to the Muslim faith (''Muslim''; one who submits to the will of God).{{sfn|Barker|Gregg|2010|p=97}}

Jesus is featured as a major figure in two categories of hadiths which can be described as apocalyptic and biblical.{{sfn|Khalidi|2001|p=25}} The eschatological role of Jesus in the hadiths may have been influenced by ideas of the [[Second coming]] held by the [[Eastern Churches]], as well as the Quranic Jesus mentioned in {{qref|43|61|pl=y}}.{{sfn|Khalidi|2001|p=25}} Many of the hadiths which feature Jesus's sayings were not included in the canonical [[hadith collections]], which became more focused on the sayings of Muhammad, but were instead included in a separate genre known as {{transliteration|ar|[[Qisas al-anbiya]]}} ('Stories of the Prophets').{{sfn|Khalidi|2001|p=26}}
