What is the matter with you? We said: Messenger of Allah, you made a mention of the Dajjal in the morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some (near) part of the cluster of the date-palm trees. Thereupon he ﷺ said: I harbor fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjal. If he comes forth while I am among you, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (Dajjal) would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to ʿAbd-ul-ʿUzza b. Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (xviii). He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Messenger of Allah, how long would he stay on the earth? He ﷺ said: For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Messenger of Allah, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he ﷺ said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Messenger of Allah, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he ﷺ said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their pasturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would be at this very time that Allah would send Jesus, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odor of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (Dajjal) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur. And then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (which would attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single person. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will. Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Dajjal one morning, he belittled him and mentioned his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of date-palms." He said: "We departed from the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then we returned to him, and he noticed that(concern) in us. So he said: 'What is wrong with you?'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! You mentioned the Dajjal this morning, belittling him, and mentioning his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of the date-palms.' He said: 'It is not the Dajjal that I fear for you. If he were to appear while I am among you, then I will be his adversary on your behalf. And if he appears and I am not among you, then each man will have to fend for himself. And Allah will take care of every Muslim after me. He is young, with curly hair, his eyes protruding, resembling someone from 'Abdul-Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, then let him recite the beginning of Surah Ashab Al-Kahf.'"He said: 'He will appear from what is between Ash-Sham and Al-'Iraq, causing devastation toward the right and toward the left. O worshippers of Allah! Hold fast!'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How long will he linger on the earth?' He said: 'Forty days, a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the remainder of his days are like your days.'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Do you think that during the day that is like a year, the Salat of one day will be sufficient for us?' He said: 'No. You will have to estimate it.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How fast will he move through the earth.' He said: 'Like a rain storm driven by the wind. He will come upon a people and call them, and they will deny him, and reject his claims. Then he will leave them, and their wealth will follow him. They will awaken in the morning with nothing left. Then he will come upon a people and call them, and they will respond to him, believing in him. So he will order the Heavens to bring rain, and it shall rain, and he will order the land to sprout, and it will sprout. Their cattle will return to them with their coats the longest, their udders the fullest and their stomachs the fattest.' He said: 'Then he will come upon some ruins, saying to it: "Bring me your treasures!" He will turn to leave it, and it will follow him, like drone bees. Then he will call a young man, full of youth, and he will strike him with the sword cutting him into two pieces. Then he will call him, and he will come forward with his face beaming and laughing. So while he is doing that, 'Eisa bin Mariam, peace be upon him, will descend in eastern Damascus at the white minaret, between two Mahrud, with his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall, and when raises it, gems like pearls drop from him.' He said: 'His (the Dajjal's) breath does not reach anyone but he dies, and his breath reaches as far as his sight.' He said: 'So he pursues him(the Dajjal) and he catches up with him at the gate of Ludd where he kills him.' He said: 'So he remains there as long as Allah wills.' He said: 'Then Allah reveals to him: "Take my slaves to At-Tur, for I have sent down some creatures of Mine which no one shall be able to kill.'" He said: 'Allah dispatches Ya'juj and Ma'juj, and they are as Allah said: They swoop down from every mount.' "He said: 'The first of them pass by the lake of Tiberias, drinking what is in it. Then the last of them pass by it saying: "There was water here at one time." They travel until they reach a mountain at Bait Al-Maqdis. They will say: "We have killed whoever was in the earth. Come! Let us kill whoever is in the skies." They will shoot their arrows into the Heavens, so Allah will return their arrows to them red with blood. Eisa bin Mariam and his Companions be surrounded, until the head of a bull on that day would be better to them than a hundred Dinar to one of you today.' "He ﷺ said: "Eisa will beseech Allah, as will his companions.' He said: 'So Allah will send An-Naghaf down upon their necks. In the morning they will find that they have all died like the death of a single soul.' He said: " 'Eisa and his companions will come down, and no spot nor hand-span can be found, except that it is filled with their stench, decay and blood. So 'Eisa will beseech Allah, as will his companions.' So Allah will send upon them birds like the necks of Bukht(milch)camels.' They will carry them off and cast them into an abyss. The Muslims will burn their bows, arrows and quivers for seventy years.' "He ﷺ said: 'Allah will send upon them a rain which no house of hide nor mud will bear. The earth will be washed, leaving it like a mirror. Then it will be said to the earth: "bring forth your fruits and return your blessings." So on that day, a whole troop would eat a pomegranate and seek shade under its skin. Milk will be so blessed that a large group of people will be sufficed by one milking of a camel. And that a tribe will be sufficed by one milking of a cow, and that a group will be sufficed by the milking of sheep. While it is like that, Allah will send a wind which grabs the soul of every believer, leaving the remainder of the people copulating publicly like the copulation of donkeys. Upon them the Hour shall begin.'"

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'"

[Machine] "So a man from the Amadad tribe joined us and sought refuge with our caravan. He had nothing with him except a sword, no other weapon. He slaughtered a Muslim man as a sacrifice and continued to deceive until he took off his skin like a garment and spread it on the ground. He then threw himself on it until he became dry, and he made it a shield-like covering. It was decided that we would meet our enemies, a mixture of Romans and Arabs, from Qadada, so we fought them fiercely. Among their people was a Roman man on a horse, with blonde hair, a golden saddle, a speckled saddlecloth, and a sword like his. He carried it and tricked our people. The Amadadi man continued to deceive the Roman until he passed by him, then he struck the veins of his horse with the sword and it fell. He followed him and struck him with the sword until he killed him. When Allah granted us victory, he came forward to ask for his share of the spoils, and the people testified in his favor as his killer. Khalid gave him some of his spoils and kept the rest. When he returned to the caravan of Awf, he mentioned it to him. Awf said to him, 'Go back to him and let him give you what remains.' So he returned to him, but he refused. Awf then went to Khalid and said to him, 'Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed that the spoils belong to the killer?' He replied, 'Yes.' Awf said, 'Then what prevents you from giving him the spoils of his victim?' Khalid said, 'I kept it for him, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah then heard about it and became angry. He said to Khalid, 'Don't give it to him, Khalid. Are you leaving my commands? Your example and his are like a man who bought camels and sheep, took them to a watering hole, and let them drink from it and left the scum. So the choice part is for you, and the scum shall be for them.'"

[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Antichrist will emerge during a period of confusion in religion and ignorance in knowledge. He will have forty nights that are equivalent to one year, one night equivalent to a month, and one night equivalent to a week. The rest of his days will be like your days. He will have a donkey on which he will ride, its ear to its ear measuring forty cubits. He will say to the people, 'I am your Lord,' even though he is blind in one eye. Indeed, your Lord is not one-eyed, and it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever (Kafir). Every believer will read it, literate or illiterate. There will not be any water or well left except for the cities of Madinah and Makkah, which Allah has made forbidden for him. The angels will stand guarding their gates, and with him will be mountains of bread. The people will be in great distress, except those who follow him. With him, there will be two rivers. I know which is Paradise and which is Hell. Whoever is entered into the one named Paradise will actually be in Hell, and whoever is entered into the one named Hell will actually be in Paradise." He said, "Allah will send devils with him, who will speak to the people. With him, there will be a great trial. He will command the sky, and it will rain upon the people, and he will kill a person, then bring him back to life before the people's eyes. He will not have control over any people other than his own. He will say, 'O people, why don't you come out to the deceitful liar?' They will say, 'This is a genie man,' and they will set out towards him. Suddenly, they will find themselves with Jesus, the son of Mary. The prayer will be established, and it will be said to him, 'Come forward, O Spirit of Allah.' He will reply, 'Let your Imam come forward and lead you in prayer.' After performing the morning prayer, they will go towards the Antichrist. When the Antichrist sees Jesus, he will start melting like salt in water, and he will try to flee from him. Jesus will pursue and kill him until even a tree or a stone will call out, 'O Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] From the hadith of Amr al-Hadrami, from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us one day, and the majority of his sermon was about mentioning the Dajjal. He informed us about him in detail until he finished his sermon. Then, on that day, he said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation about the Dajjal. And I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last of the nations. Surely, he is among you, there is no doubt. If he appears while I am among you, then I am the guardian of every Muslim. And if he appears among you after me, then every individual is the guardian of themselves. And Allah is my Khalifah (Caliph) over every Muslim. He will emerge from the land situated between Iraq and Sham (Greater Syria), and will roam through the east and west. O servants of Allah, be steadfast. He will start by claiming to be a prophet, even though there is no prophet after me. Then, he will claim to be your Lord, even though you have not seen your Lord until you die. And it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, and every believer will be able to read it. So, whoever among you meets him should recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) against him. He will have control over one soul from the descendants of Adam, and he will kill it and then bring it back to life. And he will not have control over another soul besides that. He will bring with him Paradise and Hell as part of his fitnah (trial), but his Paradise will be Hell, and his Hell will be Paradise. So, whoever is afflicted with his Hellfire, let him close his eyes and seek refuge with Allah, for it will become cool and peaceful for him, just as fire was cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him. And whoever meets him while believing in him and affirming his truthfulness, then let him seek rain from him. For Allah will cause the sky to rain upon them from their own day, and the Earth will bring forth for them from its own day, and their livestock will return to them fully satisfied from their own day. It will be their greatest and fattest day. But whoever meets him while disbelieving in him and rejecting him, then let him seek dryness from him. For he will not have a single drop of rain to give, and he will curse them, so that they will not have a rider or a passenger, and his days will be forty days. One of his days will be like a year, one day will be like a month, one day will be like a week, and the rest of his days will be like ordinary days." Then he (the Prophet, ﷺ) said, "A man will be at the door of Al-Madinah, and he will reach the other end of the city before evening comes." They asked, "How should we pray, O Messenger of Allah, in those short days?" He said, "Estimate the time (according to the length of the day) and then pray as you would in the longer days."

What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42). (Using translation from Muslim 2940a)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know what the Antichrist (Dajjal) has with him. He has two rivers, one fire that appears as blazing flames to anyone who sees it, and the other is water that appears white. So if any of you can find him, let him close his eyes and drink the water that appears as fire, for it is actually cool water. Beware of the other river, for it is the tribulation. Know that it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, which can be read by those who can read and even those who cannot read. And know that one of his eyes is wiped over which a mark is left, and from that mark he will emerge towards the end of his affair on the outskirts of the Jordan River, near his house. He will awake and everyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day will be in the vicinity of the Jordan River. And know that he will kill one-third of the Muslims, defeat one-third, and leave one-third. The night will befall them, and some of the believers will say to others, 'What are you waiting for to join your brothers for the sake of pleasing your Lord? So whoever has extra food, let him feed his brother. Pray when dawn breaks and hurry in performing the prayer, then face your enemy.' When they stand for prayer, Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend to lead them in prayer. After he finishes, he will say, 'This is how you should relieve yourselves from the enemy of Allah.' Abu Hazim said, 'He will melt like salt melts in water.' Abdullah ibn Amr said, 'He will vanish like salt dissolves in water.' Allah will give victory to the Muslims, and they will kill their enemies until even the rocks and the trees will call, 'O Abdullah, O slave of the Most Merciful, O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' So Allah will expose the Muslims, and they will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya (tax on non-Muslims). While they are in this state, Allah will bring forth Gog and Magog. They will drink from the lake at the beginning, and the last of them will pass by it and say, 'We have defeated our enemies, here is a trace of water.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions will follow them until they enter one of the cities in Palestine called Lud. They will say, 'We have defeated those on earth, let us fight those in the sky.' At that moment, Allah will send a disease upon them, opening up boils in their necks, and none of them will remain except that their stench will harm the Muslims. At that point, Jesus, peace be upon him, will call upon Allah, and Allah will send a wind that will throw them into the sea, all of them."

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4075)

[Machine] "On the authority of Amr Al-Hadrami, from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us one day, and the majority of his sermon was about the mentioning of the Dajjal (the Antichrist), warning us about him and informing us about him until he finished his sermon. On that day, he said to us: Indeed, Allah ﷻ has not sent a Prophet except that he warned his nation. And I am the last of the Prophets, and you are the last of the nations. And indeed, he will come out amongst you without a doubt. If he comes out while I am among you, then I am the guardian of every Muslim. And if he comes out amongst you after me, then every person will be his own guardian. And Allah ﷻ is my Caliph over every Muslim. Indeed, he will emerge from a place between Iraq and Sham (Syria). He will wander to the right and to the left. O servants of Allah, remain firm. Indeed, he will start by claiming to be a Prophet, and there will be no Prophet after me. And indeed, it will be written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, and every believer will be able to read it. So, whoever among you meets him, then let him spit in his face and read the Surah of the People of the Cave against him. And indeed, he will be given control over a person from the offspring of Adam, and he will kill him, then bring him back to life. And he will not be able to do the same with anyone else. Indeed, one of his trials is that he will have Paradise and Hell with him. His Hell will be Paradise, and his Paradise will be Hell. So, whoever is tested with his Hellfire, then let him close his eyes and seek refuge with Allah, for it will become cool and peaceful, just as the fire was cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (Abraham). And indeed, his (Dajjal's) days will be forty days. One day will be like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like normal days. And the last of his days will be like a mirage. A man will approach the gate of the city in the morning, walking, and by evening he will reach the other gate. So, the companions asked: O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray in those short days? He replied: Estimate (the timings) in them as you estimate the timings in the longer days."

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

[Machine] "Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq wrote a letter to Khalid bin Al-Walid, who was in Al-Yamamah, from Abdullah Abu Bakr's caliph. Peace be upon you, O Khalid bin Al-Walid and those who are with him from the Muhajireen, the Ansar, and the followers. I praise Allah to you, the One whom there is no god but He. After that, all praise be to Allah who fulfilled His promise, supported His servant, honored His guardian, humiliated His enemy, and defeated the factions individually. Indeed, Allah, whom there is no god but He, has said: 'Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them.' (Qur'an 24:55) He wrote the entire verse and recited the verse as a promise from Him, with no deviation, and made jihad obligatory upon the believers, saying: 'Fighting has been prescribed upon you while it is hateful to you.' (Qur'an 2:216) Until he finished reciting the verses, he affirmed the promise of Allah to you, so obey Him in what He has prescribed upon you. Even if the burden becomes heavy, the provision becomes scarce, and difficulties arise, consider it small compared to the immense reward from Allah. So march, and may Allah have mercy upon you, in the path of Allah with light and heavy weapons, and strive with your wealth and yourselves.' (Qur'an 9:41) He wrote the entire verse saying, 'Behold, I have commanded Khalid bin Al-Walid to march to Iraq, and he should not leave it until my order reaches him. So march with him and do not lag behind, for it is a way in which Allah has glorified and increased the reward for those whose intention is good and whose desire for goodness is great. So when you reach Iraq, stay there until my order comes to you. May Allah suffice us and you from the difficulties of this world and the hereafter. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.' The Sheikh (narrator) then elaborated on the historical events and the inclusion of his letter in the biography towards Sham (Greater Syria) and the reinforcement of the army leaders there and the victories of the Muslims in the days of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, and the departure of Heraclius towards Byzantium and the conquests in Iraq, Persia, and the destruction of Khosrow and the carrying of his treasures to Al-Madina in the days of Umar bin Al-Khattab."

"عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُمَرَ يَوْمَ طُعِنَ، فَمَا مَنَعِنى أَنْ أَكُوُنَ فِى الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ إِلَّا هَيْبَتُهُ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مَهِيبًا، فَكُنْتُ فِى الصَّفِّ الَّذِى يَلِيهِ، وَكَانَ

عُمَرُ لَا يُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى يَسْتَقْبِلَ الصَّفَّ الْمُقَدَّمَ بِوَجْهِهِ، فَإِنْ رَأَى رَجُلًا مُتَقَدِّمًا مِنَ الصَّفَ أَوْ مُتَأَخِّرًا ضَرَبَهُ بِالدِّرَّةِ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذى مَنَعَنِى مِنْهُ، وَأَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُ أَبو لَؤْلُؤَةَ فَطَعَنَهُ ثَلَاثَ طَعَنَاتٍ، فَسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ -هَكَذَا بِيَدهِ قَدْ بَسَطَهَا-: دُوَنكُم الْكَلْبَ قَدْ قَتَلَنِى وَمَاجَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِى بَعْضٍ فَصَلَّى بنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ بِأَقْصَرِ سُورَتَيْنِ (في الْقُرْآنِ) {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّه}، وَ {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ}، وَاحْتُمِلَ عُمَرُ فَدَخَلَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ اخْرُجْ فَنَادِ فِى النَّاسِ؛ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: (إِنَّ) أَميرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ يَقُولُ: أعَنْ مَلأٍ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا: مَعَاذَ اللَّه مَا عَلِمْنَا وَلَا أطَّلَعْنا، فَقَالَ: ادْعوا لِى طَبِيبًا، فَدُعِى لَهُ الطَّبِيبُ فَقَالَ: أىُّ شَرَاب أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ (قَالَ) نَبِيذٌ، فَسُقى نَبِيذًا فَخَرَجَ (مِنْ بَعْضِ طَعَنَاتِهِ)، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: هَذَا صَدِيدٌ، اسْقُوهُ لَبنًا، فَسُقِى لَبنًا فَخَرَجَ، فَقَالَ الطَّبيبُ: (مَا أُرَاكَ تُمْسِى) فَمَا كُنْتَ فَاعِلًا فَافْعَلْ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه بْنَ عُمَرَ إِيتنِى بِالْكَتِفَ الّتِى كَتَبْتُ فِيهَا شَأنَ الْجَدِّ بِالأَمْسِ، فَلَوْ أَرَادَ اللَّه أَنْ يُمْضِى مَا فِيهِ أَمْضَاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: (أَنَا) أكْفِيكَ مَحْوهَا فَقَالَ: لَا، وَاللَّه لَا يَمْحُوهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِى، فَمَحَاهَا عُمَرُ بيَدِهِ، وَكَانَ فِيهَا فَرِيضَةُ الْجَدِّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُو لِى عَلِيًا وَعُثْمَانَ وَطَلحَةَ وَالزُّبيْرَ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحَمِن بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدًا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عنْده قَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنْ وَلَّوْهَا الأَجْلَحَ سلَكَ بهِمُ الطَّرِيقَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمِنيِنَ؟ قَالَ: أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَتَحَمَّلَهَا حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا".
