Sahih Muslim — Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour

Abdullah b. Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went along with him in the company of some persons and there was Umar b. Khattab also amongst them till they saw Ibn Sayyad as a young boy just on the threshold of adolescence playing with children near the battlement of Bani Mu'awiya; the rest of the hadith is the same but with these concluding words:" Had his mother left him (to murmur) his matter would have become clear

حدثنا الحسن بن علي الحلواني، وعبد بن حميد، قالا حدثنا يعقوب، - وهو ابن ابراهيم بن سعد - حدثنا ابي، عن صالح، عن ابن شهاب، اخبرني سالم بن عبد الله، انالله عليه وسلم ومعه رهط من اصحابه فيهم عمر بن الخطاب حتى وجد ابن صياد غلاما قد ناهز الحلم يلعب مع الغلمان عند اطم بني معاوية . وساق الحديث بمثل حديث يونس الى منتهى حديث عمر بن ثابت وفي الحديث عن يعقوب قال قال ابى - يعني في قوله لو تركته بين - قال لو تركته امه بين امره

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to pass by Ibn Sayyad along with his Companions including 'Umar b. Khattab as he was playing with children near the battlement of Bani Maghala and he was also a child by that time. The rest of the hadith is the same as narrated by Ibn Umar (in which there is a mention of) setting out of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) along with Ubayy b. Ka'b towards the date-palm trees

وحدثنا عبد بن حميد، وسلمة بن شبيب، جميعا عن عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن سالم، عن ابن عمر، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مر بابن صياد في نفر من اصحابه فيهم عمر بن الخطاب وهو يلعب مع الغلمان عند اطم بني مغالة وهو غلام . بمعنى حديث يونس وصالح غير ان عبد بن حميد لم يذكر حديث ابن عمر في انطلاق النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مع ابى بن كعب الى النخل

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar met Ibn Si'id on some of the paths of Medina and he said to him a word which enraged him and he was so much swollen with anger that the way was blocked. Ibn 'Umar went to Hafsa and informed her about this. Thereupon she said:May Allah have mercy upon you, why did you incite Ibn Sayyad in spite of the fact that you knew it would be the extreme anger which would make Dajjal appear in the world?

حدثنا عبد بن حميد، حدثنا روح بن عبادة، حدثنا هشام، عن ايوب، عن نافع، قال لقي ابن عمر ابن صايد في بعض طرق المدينة فقال له قولا اغضبه فانتفخ حتى ملا السكة فدخل ابن عمر على حفصة وقد بلغها فقالت له رحمك الله ما اردت من ابن صايد اما علمت ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " انما يخرج من غضبة يغضبها

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar said:I met lbn Sayyad twice and said to some of them (his friends): You state that it was he (the Dajjal). He said: By Allah, it is not so. I said: You have not told me the truth; by Allah some of you informed me that he would not die until he would have the largest number of offspring and huge wealth and it is he about whom it is thought so. Then Ibn Sayyad talked to us. I then departed and met him again for the second time and his eye had been swollen. I said: What has happened to your eye? He said: I do not know. I said: This is in your head and you do not know about it? He said: If Allah so wills He can create it (eye) in your staff. He then produced a sound like the braying of a donkey. Some of my companions thought that I had struck him with the staff as he was with me that the staff broke into pieces, but, by Allah, I was not conscious of it. He then came to the Mother of the Faithful (Hafsa) and narrated it to her and she said: What concern you have with him? Don't you know that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said that the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger?

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا حسين، - يعني ابن حسن بن يسار - حدثنا ابن، عون عن نافع، قال كان نافع يقول ابن صياد . قال قال ابن عمر لقيته مرتين - قال - فلقيته فقلت لبعضهم هل تحدثون انه هو قال لا والله - قال - قلت كذبتني والله لقد اخبرني بعضكم انه لن يموت حتى يكون اكثركم مالا وولدا فكذلك هو زعموا اليوم - قال - فتحدثنا ثم فارقته - قال - فلقيته لقية اخرى وقد نفرت عينه - قال - فقلت متى فعلت عينك ما ارى قال لا ادري - قال - قلت لا تدري وهي في راسك قال ان شاء الله خلقها في عصاك هذه . قال فنخر كاشد نخير حمار سمعت - قال - فزعم بعض اصحابي اني ضربته بعصا كانت معي حتى تكسرت واما انا فوالله ما شعرت - قال - وجاء حتى دخل على ام المومنين فحدثها فقالت ما تريد اليه الم تعلم انه قد قال " ان اول ما يبعثه على الناس غضب يغضبه

Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). made a mention of Dajjal in the presence of the people and said:Allah is not one-eyed and behold that Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو اسامة، ومحمد بن بشر، قالا حدثنا عبيد، الله عن نافع، عن ابن عمر، ح وحدثنا ابن نمير، - واللفظ له - حدثنا محمد بن بشر، حدثنا عبيد الله، عن نافع، عن ابن عمر، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكر الدجال بين ظهرانى الناس فقال " ان الله تعالى ليس باعور . الا وان المسيح الدجال اعور العين اليمنى كان عينه عنبة طافية

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar through another chain of transmitters

حدثني ابو الربيع، وابو كامل قالا حدثنا حماد، - وهو ابن زيد - عن ايوب، وحدثنا محمد بن عباد، حدثنا حاتم، - يعني ابن اسماعيل - عن موسى بن عقبة، كلاهما عن نافع، عن ابن عمر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمثله

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:There is never a prophet who has not warned the Ummah of that one-eyed liar; behold he is one-eyed and your Lord is not one-eyed. On his forehead are the letters k f. r. (Kafir)

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، ومحمد بن بشار، قالا حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن قتادة، قال سمعت انس بن مالك، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ما من نبي الا وقد انذر امته الاعور الكذاب الا انه اعور وان ربكم ليس باعور ومكتوب بين عينيه ك ف ر

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:There would be written three letters k. f. r., i. e. Kafir, between the eyes of the Dajjal

حدثنا ابن المثنى، وابن، بشار - واللفظ لابن المثنى - قالا حدثنا معاذ بن هشام، حدثني ابي، عن قتادة، حدثنا انس بن مالك، ان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " الدجال مكتوب بين عينيه ك ف ر اى كافر

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Dajjal is blind of one eye and there is written between his eyes the word" Kafir". He then spelled the word as k. f. r., which every Muslim would be able to read

وحدثني زهير بن حرب، حدثنا عفان، حدثنا عبد الوارث، عن شعيب بن الحبحاب، عن انس بن مالك، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الدجال ممسوح العين مكتوب بين عينيه كافر " . ثم تهجاها ك ف ر " يقروه كل مسلم

Hudhaifa reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Dajjal is blind of left eye with thick hair and there would be a garden and fire with him and his fire would be a garden and his garden would be fire

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، ومحمد بن العلاء، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال الاخران، حدثنا ابو معاوية، عن الاعمش، عن شقيق، عن حذيفة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الدجال اعور العين اليسرى جفال الشعر معه جنة ونار فناره جنة وجنته نار

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said:The Messenger of Allah said: 'I know what the Dajjal will have with him. He will have two flowing rivers, one that appears to the eye to be clear water, and one that appears to the eye to be flaming fire. If anyone sees that, let him go to the river which he thinks is fire and close his eyes, then lower his head and drink from it, for it is cool water. The Dajjal has one blind eye, with a layer of thick skin over it, and between his eyes is written "disbeliever," which every believer will read, whether he is literate or illiterate

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، عن ابي مالك الاشجعي، عن ربعي بن حراش، عن حذيفة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لانا اعلم بما مع الدجال منه معه نهران يجريان احدهما راى العين ماء ابيض والاخر راى العين نار تاجج فاما ادركن احد فليات النهر الذي يراه نارا وليغمض ثم ليطاطي راسه فيشرب منه فانه ماء بارد وان الدجال ممسوح العين عليها ظفرة غليظة مكتوب بين عينيه كافر يقروه كل مومن كاتب وغير كاتب

Uqba b. 'Amr Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported:I went to Hudhaifa b. Yaman and said to him: Narrate what you have heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pertaining to the Dajjal. He said that the Dajjal would appear and there would be along with him water and fire and what the people would see as water that would be fire and that would burn and what would appear as fire that would be water and any one of you who would see that should plunge in that which he sees as fire for it would be sweet, pure water, and 'Uqba said: I also heard it, testifying Hudhaifa

حدثنا علي بن حجر، حدثنا شعيب بن صفوان، عن عبد الملك بن عمير، عن ربعي، بن حراش عن عقبة بن عمرو ابي مسعود الانصاري، قال انطلقت معه الى حذيفة بن اليمان فقال له عقبة حدثني ما سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الدجال . قال " ان الدجال يخرج وان معه ماء ونارا فاما الذي يراه الناس ماء فنار تحرق واما الذي يراه الناس نارا فماء بارد عذب فمن ادرك ذلك منكم فليقع في الذي يراه نارا فانه ماء عذب طيب " . فقال عقبة وانا قد، سمعته تصديقا، لحذيفة

Hudhaifa and Ibn Mas'ud met together. Hudhaifa said:I know more than you as to what there would be along with the Dajjal. There would be along with him two canals (one flowing with water) and the other one (having) fire (within it), and what you would see as fire would be water and what you would see as water would be fire. So he who amongst you is able to see that and is desirous of water should drink out of that which he sees as fire

حدثنا علي بن حجر السعدي، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، - واللفظ لابن حجر قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال ابن حجر، حدثنا جرير، عن المغيرة، عن نعيم بن ابي هند، عن ربعي، بن حراش قال اجتمع حذيفة وابو مسعود فقال حذيفة " لانا بما مع الدجال اعلم منه ان معه نهرا من ماء ونهرا من نار فاما الذي ترون انه نار ماء واما الذي ترون انه ماء نار فمن ادرك ذلك منكم فاراد الماء فليشرب من الذي يراه انه نار فانه سيجده ماء " . قال ابو مسعود هكذا سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:May I not inform you about the Dajjal what no Apostle of Allah narrated to his people? He would be blind and he would bring along with him an Image of Paradise and Hell-Fire and what he would call as Paradise that would be Hell-Fire and I warn you as Noah warned his people

حدثني محمد بن رافع، حدثنا حسين بن محمد، حدثنا شيبان، عن يحيى، عن ابي، سلمة قال سمعت ابا هريرة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الا اخبركم عن الدجال حديثا ما حدثه نبي قومه انه اعور وانه يجيء معه مثل الجنة والنار فالتي يقول انها الجنة هي النار واني انذرتكم به كما انذر به نوح قومه

An-Nawwas b. Sam`an reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made a mention of the Dajjal one day in the morning. He (ﷺ) sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very significant (and we felt) as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him (to the Holy Prophet) in the evening and he read (the signs of fear) in our faces, he (ﷺ) said:What is the matter with you? We said: Allah's Messenger, 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 `Abd-ul-`Uzza 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: Allah's Messenger, 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: Allah's Messenger, 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: Allah's Messenger, 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

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say:We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):" I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them

حدثنا علي بن حجر السعدي، حدثنا عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد بن جابر، والوليد بن مسلم - قال ابن حجر دخل حديث احدهما في حديث الاخر - عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد بن جابر بهذا الاسناد . نحو ما ذكرنا وزاد بعد قوله " لقد كان بهذه مرة ماء ثم يسيرون حتى ينتهوا الى جبل الخمر وهو جبل بيت المقدس فيقولون لقد قتلنا من في الارض هلم فلنقتل من في السماء . فيرمون بنشابهم الى السماء فيرد الله عليهم نشابهم مخضوبة دما " . وفي رواية ابن حجر " فاني قد انزلت عبادا لي لا يدى لاحد بقتالهم

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) one day gave a detailed account of the Dajjal and in that it was also included:He would come but would not be allowed to enter the mountain passes to Medina. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near Medina, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you are Dajjal about whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had informed us. The Dajjal would say: What is your opinion if I kill this (person), then I bring him back to life; even then will you harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill (the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring that person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the fact (that you are a Dajjal) than at the present time (that you are actually so). The Dajjal would then make an attempt to kill him (again) but he would not be able to do that. Abu Ishaq reported that it was said: That person would be Khadir (Allah be pleased with him)

حدثني عمرو الناقد، والحسن الحلواني، وعبد بن حميد، - والفاظهم متقاربة والسياق لعبد - قال حدثني وقال الاخران، حدثنا يعقوب، - وهو ابن ابراهيم بن سعد - حدثنا ابي، عن صالح، عن ابن شهاب، اخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، ان ابا سعيد الخدري، قال حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما حديثا طويلا عن الدجال فكان فيما حدثنا قال " ياتي وهو محرم عليه ان يدخل نقاب المدينة فينتهي الى بعض السباخ التي تلي المدينة فيخرج اليه يوميذ رجل هو خير الناس - او من خير الناس - فيقول له اشهد انك الدجال الذي حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حديثه فيقول الدجال ارايتم ان قتلت هذا ثم احييته اتشكون في الامر فيقولون لا . قال فيقتله ثم يحييه فيقول حين يحييه والله ما كنت فيك قط اشد بصيرة مني الان - قال - فيريد الدجال ان يقتله فلا يسلط عليه " . قال ابو اسحاق يقال ان هذا الرجل هو الخضر عليه السلام

This hadith has been narrated by Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثني عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي، اخبرنا ابو اليمان، اخبرنا شعيب، عن الزهري، في هذا الاسناد بمثله

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:The Dajjal would come forth and a person from amongst the believers would go towards him and the armed men of the Dajjal would meet him and they would say to him: Where do you intend to go? He would say: I intend to go to this one who is coming forth. They would say to him: Don't you believe in our Lord? He would say: There is nothing hidden about our Lord. They would say: Kill him. Then some amongst them would say: Has your master (Dajjal) not forbidden you to kill anyone without (his consent)? And so they would take him to the Dajjal and when the believer would see him, he would say: O people. he is the Dajjil about whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has informed (us). The Dajjal would then order for breaking his head and utter (these words): Catch hold of him and break his head. He would be struck even on his back and on his stomach. Then the Dajjal would ask him: Don't you believe in me? He would say: You are a false Masih. He would then order him to be torn (into pieces) with a saw from the parting of his hair up to his legs. After that the Dajjal would walk between the two pieces. He would then say to him: Stand, and he would stand erect. He would then say to him: Don't you believe in me? And the person would say: It has only added to my insight concerning you (that you are really the Dajjal). He would then say: O people, he would not behave with anyone amongst people (in such a manner) after me. The Dajjal would try to catch hold of him so that he should kill him (again). The space between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he would find no means to kill him. So he would catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him (into the air) and the people would think as if he had been thrown in the Hell-Fire whereas he would be thrown in Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He would be the most eminent amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the eye of the Lord of the world

حدثني محمد بن عبد الله بن قهزاذ، من اهل مرو حدثنا عبد الله بن عثمان، عن ابي حمزة، عن قيس بن وهب، عن ابي الوداك، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يخرج الدجال فيتوجه قبله رجل من المومنين فتلقاه المسالح مسالح الدجال فيقولون له اين تعمد فيقول اعمد الى هذا الذي خرج - قال - فيقولون له اوما تومن بربنا فيقول ما بربنا خفاء . فيقولون اقتلوه . فيقول بعضهم لبعض اليس قد نهاكم ربكم ان تقتلوا احدا دونه - قال - فينطلقون به الى الدجال فاذا راه المومن قال يا ايها الناس هذا الدجال الذي ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال فيامر الدجال به فيشبح فيقول خذوه وشجوه . فيوسع ظهره وبطنه ضربا - قال - فيقول اوما تومن بي قال فيقول انت المسيح الكذاب - قال - فيومر به فيوشر بالميشار من مفرقه حتى يفرق بين رجليه - قال - ثم يمشي الدجال بين القطعتين ثم يقول له قم . فيستوي قايما - قال - ثم يقول له اتومن بي فيقول ما ازددت فيك الا بصيرة - قال - ثم يقول يا ايها الناس انه لا يفعل بعدي باحد من الناس - قال - فياخذه الدجال ليذبحه فيجعل ما بين رقبته الى ترقوته نحاسا فلا يستطيع اليه سبيلا - قال - فياخذ بيديه ورجليه فيقذف به فيحسب الناس انما قذفه الى النار وانما القي في الجنة " . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " هذا اعظم الناس شهادة عند رب العالمين

Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:No one asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) more about Dajjil than I asked him. He said: He should not be a source of worry to you for he would not be able to do any harm to you. I said: Allah's Messenger, it is alleged that he would have along with him (abundance of) food and water. Thereupon he said: He would be very insignificant in the eye of Allah (even) with all this

حدثنا شهاب بن عباد العبدي، حدثنا ابراهيم بن حميد الرواسي، عن اسماعيل، بن ابي خالد عن قيس بن ابي حازم، عن المغيرة بن شعبة، قال ما سال احد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الدجال اكثر مما سالت قال " وما ينصبك منه انه لا يضرك " . قال قلت يا رسول الله انهم يقولون ان معه الطعام والانهار قال " هو اهون على الله من ذلك
