It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us, and most of his speech had to do with telling us about Dajjal.

He warned about him, and among the things he said was:

‘There will not be any tribulation on earth, since the time Allah created the offspring of Adam, that will be greater than the tribulation of Dajjal.

Allah has not sent any Prophet but he warned his nation about Dajjal. I am the last of the Prophets, and you are the last of the nations. He will undoubtedly appear among you. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on behalf of every Muslim, and if he appears while I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf.

He will emerge from Al-Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast. I will describe him to you in a manner in which none of the Prophets has described him before me.

He will start by saying “I am a Prophet,” and there is no Prophet after me. Then a second time he will say: “I am your Lord.” But you will not see your Lord until you die. He is one-eyed, and your Lord is not one-eyed, and written between his eyes is Kafir.
Every believer will read it, whether he is literate or illiterate.
Part of his Fitnah will be that he will have with him Paradise and Hell, but his Hell will be a Paradise and his Paradise a Hell.

Whoever is tested with his fire (hell), let him seek the help of Allah and recite the first Verses of Al-Kahf, then it will be cool and safe for him, as the fire was for Ibrahim.

Part of his Fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin: “What do you think, if I resurrect your father and mother for you, will you bear witness that I am your Lord?” He will say: “Yes.” Then two devils will appear to him in the form of his father and mother and will say: “O my son, follow him, for he is your Lord.”

And part of his Fitnah will be that he will overpower a single soul and kill him, then he will cut him with a saw until he falls in two pieces. Then he will say: “Look at this slave of mine; I will resurrect him now, then he will claim that he has a Lord other than me.”

Then Allah will resurrect him and the evil one will say to him: “Who is your Lord?” and he will say: “Allah is my Lord, and you are the enemy of Allah, you are Dajjal. By Allah, I have never had more insight about you than I have today.”

(An addition) Abul-Hasan Tanafisi said: “Muharibi told us: ‘Ubaidullah bin al-Walid Al-Wassafi told us, from ‘Atiyyah, that Abu Sa’eed said:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘That man will be the highest in status in my nation in Paradise'” – He said: “Abu Sa’eed said: ‘By Allah, we did not think that man would be anyone other than ‘Umar bin Khattab, until he passed away. –

Muharibi said: “Then we went back to the narration of Abu Rafi’.” He said: – ‘Part of his Fitnah will be that he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan and they will disbelieve in him, so all their flocks will perish and none will be left. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan who will believe in him, so he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so, until their flocks will come back in the evening of that day, bigger and fatter than they have ever been, with their flanks stretched and their udders full of milk. There will be no part of the earth left that he does not enter and prevail over, except for Makkah and Al-Madinah, for he will not approach them on any of their mountain paths but he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords, until he will stop at the red hill at the end of the marsh.

Then Al-Madinah will be shaken with its people three times, and no hypocrite, male or female, will be left, all will come out to him. Thus it will be cleansed of impurity just as the bellows cleanses the iron of dross. And that day will be called the Day of Deliverance.’

“Umm Sharik bint Abi ‘akar said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be that day?’ He said: ‘On that day they will be few, and most of them will be in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their leader will be a righteous man.
When their leader has stepped forward to lead them in subh prayer, ‘Eisa bin Maryam will come down to them. Their leader will step backwards so that ‘Eisa can come forward and lead the people in prayer, but ‘Eisa will place his hand between his shoulders and say to him: “Go forward and pray, for the Iqamah was given for you.” Then their leader will lead them in prayer. When he has finished, ‘Eisa (as), will say: “Open the gate.” So they will open it and behind it will be Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews, each of them carrying an adorned sword and wearing a greenish cloak. When Dajjal looks at him, he will start to melt as salt melts in water. He will run away, and ‘Eisa (as), will say: “I have only one blow for you, which you will not be able to escape!” He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak – no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal – except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak – except that it will say: “O Muslim slave of Allah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!” “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘His (Dajjal’s) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (i.e., they will pass quickly). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes.’ It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?’ He said: ‘Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Eisa bin Maryam (as), will be a just judge and a just ruler among my nation. He will break the cross, slaughter the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and charity will be left. No one will be appointed to (collect the Zakah of) sheep and camels. Grudges and mutual hatred will disappear and the venom of every venomous creature will be removed, so that a baby boy will but his hand in a snake and it will not harm him, and a baby girl will make a lion run away, and it will not harm her; and the wolf will be among the sheep like their sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace just as a vessel is filled with water. The people will be united and none will be worshipped except Allah. War will cease and Quraish will no longer be in power. The earth will be like a silver platter, with its vegetation growing as it did at the time of Adam, until a group of people will gather around one bunch of grapes and it will suffice them, and a group will gather around a single pomegranate and it will suffice them. An ox will be sold for such and such amount of money, and a horse will be sold for a few Dirham.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why will horses be so cheap?’ He said: ‘They will never be ridden in war again.’ It was said to him: ‘Why will oxen be so expensive?’ He said: ‘Because all the land will be tilled.

Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills.’ It was said: ‘What will the people live on at that time?’ He said: ‘Tahlil, Takbir, Tasbih and Tahmid. That will take the place of food for them.'” Abu ‘Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said: “I heard Abul-Hasan Tanafisi say: ‘I heard ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-Muharibi say: “This Hadith should be sent to every teacher so that they can teach it to the children in the schools.
