   • 7th century CE, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Buḵāriyy, 46:37:

     لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ فِيكُمُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا، فَيَكْسِرَ الصَّلِيبَ، وَيَقْتُلَ الْخِنْزِيرَ، وَيَضَعَ الْجِزْيَةَ، وَيَفِيضَ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لَا يَقْبَلَهُ أَحَدٌ

     lā taqūmu s-sāʕatu ḥattā yanzila fīkumu bnu maryama ḥakaman muqsiṭan, fayaksira aṣ-ṣalība, wayaqtula l-ḵinzīra, wayaḍaʕa l-jizyata, wayafīḍa l-mālu ḥattā lā yaqbalahu ʔaḥadun

     The hour will not arise until the son of Mary comes down upon you as a just ruler, and he will destroy the cross, and he will kill the swine, and abolish the jizya, and fortunes will overflow so that nobody will accept them as gifts.
