Although there is no doubt that raj'a will take place, as it is backed by widely transmitted hadiths, its details, including the number and identity of those who will return, are not certain. However, the majority of scholars maintain that during raj'a, only the [[Prophet (s)]], the [[Imams (a)]], and the pure believers and unbelievers will return. | |||
===Prophets and Believers before the Advent of Islam=== | |||
According to some hadiths, Daniel ([[Daniyal (a)]]), Joshua ([[Yusha' (a)]]), Jesus ([['Isa (a)]]), and [[Khidr]] are among those who will return. Also, it is mentioned that some believers and followers of the previous religions, such as the [[People of the Cave]], will return. | |||
'''Return of Jesus''' | |||
Both Shi'a and [[Sunni]] sources state that 'Isa (a) will return at the time of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]]. It can be understood from the traditions with certainty that 'Isa (a) will return after the [[reappearance of the Imam (a)]] and will pray behind him. According to some traditions, the Imam will give 'Isa (a) the leadership and governance of a part of the world. Sunni sources indicate that the duration of the return of 'Isa (a) will be forty years. | |||
According to some hadiths, verse 159 of [[sura al-Nisa']] "There is none among the [[People of the Book]] but will surely believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them" ([[Qur'an: 4|Qur'an 4]]:159) is related to the return of 'Isa (a). | |||
===The Prophet (s), Ahl al-bayt (a), and Their Companions=== | |||
The Prophet (s) will return together with [[Imam Ali (a)]]. According to some hadiths, all the [[Imams (a)]] and some of their companions, such as [[Salman]], [[Miqdad]], [[Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari]], [[Malik al-Ashtar]], [[al-Mufaddal b. 'Umar]], [[Humran b A'yan]], [[Muyassir b. 'Abd al-Aziz]], and the [[List of Companions of Imam al-Husayn (a)|companions]] of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], will return. | |||
Some other hadiths state that pure believers and unbelievers will return, without giving any specific names. | |||

From among the Prophets (a), those mentioned are; Daniel ([[Daniyal (a)]]), Joshua ([[Yusha' (a)]]), Jesus ([['Isa (a)]]), [[Khidr (a)]], the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. The [[Imams (a)]] and a number of their companions such as; [[Salman al-Farsi|Salman]], [[Miqdad b. 'Amr]], [[Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari]], [[Malik al-Ashtar al-Nakha'i|Malik al-Ashtar]], [[Mufaddal b. 'Umar]], [[Hamran b. A'yan]] and [[Muyassir b.
