AMJ contradicts the works of Abu Hurairah r.a

Case 1:

One of the most presented hadith by AMJ is the one related by Hazrat Abu Hurairah, this hadith is used in support of AMJ’s tafsir on Surah Jummah as an attempt to prove that Muhammad saw will "spiritually" come into the world again in the form of the Promised Messiah:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) Surat Al-Jumu’a was revealed to him, and when the Verse, “And He (Allah) has sent him (Muhammad) also to other (Muslims)…..’ (62.3) was recited by the Prophet, I said, “Who are they, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) did not reply till I repeated my question thrice. At that time, Salman Al-Farisi was with us. So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) put his hand on Salman, saying, “If Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiya (pleiades, the highest star), even then (some men or man from these people (i.e. Salman’s folk) would attain it.”(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Hadith #420)

 Ahmadiyya Commentary:

The prophet Muhammad(saw) made it clear that it would be a spiritual coming of a man from the people of Salman Farsi, meaning he would be of the Persian lineage as the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) indeed was.

So according AMJ’s commentary we understand the following:

1.     Prophet Muhammad (saw) made it clear that it was the Promised Messiah who would appear in the latter days and not Esa ibne Maryam.

2.    Which also clarifies that during the life time of Muhammad saw Abu Hurairah was clear on the death of Esa a.s.

Now let’s look at Case 2: 

According to this passage, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad has stated that Abu Hurairah (r.a) believed Jesus was alive and was only corrected on this “erroneous” belief of Jesus’s bodily ascension, at the occasion of Muhammad’s saw demise.

So the obvious contradiction is as following:

1.     According to Case 1 During the lifetime of Muhammad saw, Abu Hurairah (r.a) believed Jesus a.s had died.

2.     According to Case 2 During the lifetime of Muhammad saw, Abu Hurairah (r.a) believed Jesus a.s was alive.

This is a very nerve wrecking contradiction as a right minded person cannot draw the same conclusion from both the cases as AMJ has. It is also noteworthy that it was Abu Hurairah (r.a) who questioned Muhammad saw 3 times about the coming of a person in the latter days:

…I said, “Who are they, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) did not reply till I repeated my question thrice..”

If this hadith is indeed the background for Surah Jummah, Why would Abu Hurairah (r.a) inquire about the latter day Messiah, when he himself believed it was Jesus a.s who was to return? Why didn’t he (r.a) clarify this belief in the presence of Muhammad saw when the subject at hand was concerning the coming of a "Promised Messiah"? 

It could perhaps be because this hadith was never narrated in regards to the coming of any "Promised Messiah" and the fact that Abu Hurairah (r.a) believed Jesus is alive makes it obvious that this hadith has only been quoted by AMJ based on their own interpretation (as opposed to the orthodoxy and the scholars from the last 1400 years), and have deliberately drawn their own conclusions from it to suit their agenda.
