recital of Suratul Kahf which will most certainly save one from the
Evils of Dajjal.
Hadhrat Imraan bin Husain (R.A.) relates that,"I heard Rasulullah
(Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying: "Since the birth of Adam (A.S.)
tillthe advent of Qiyamah there is no fitnah (evil, test) much greater
that of Dajjal."
Hadhrat Huzaifah (R.A.) says, Dajjal will be blind inhis left eye. He
will have very thick hair on his body and he will also have his own
type of Jannat (Heaven) and Jahannam (Hell) with him:Although his
Jannat will appear as Jannat, in reality it will be Jahannamand
likewise though his Jahannam will appear to be Jahannam, in reality it
will be Jannat.
(Hadith: Muslim)
Imraan bin Husain (R.A.) says Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
said:"Those who hear about Dajjal should stay far fromhim. By Allah! A
person will approach him thinking him to be a Believer, but on seeing
hisamazing feats he will become his follower."
Ubadah bin Saamit (R.A.) once said, "I have explained Dajjal to you
but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh Dajjal will be
short, and his legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be
extremely twisted. He will have one eye (with which he can see, and
this is the protruding eye about which other ahadeeth inform us) while
his other eye will be totally flat. It will neither be deep (in
itssocket) nor protruding.
If you still have any doubtregarding him then remember that your
Sustainer (Rabb) is not one-eyed. (Because Dajjal will eventually
claim to beAllah). In a lengthy Hadithnarrated by Abu Saeed (R.A.),
Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said:
"Dajjal will come but it will be prohibited and impossiblefor him to
enter Madina. He will set up camp in a barren land outside Madina. One
person who will be the best of personswill confront him by saying: "I
bear witness that you are the very Dajjal about whom Rasulullah
(Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has informed us."
Dajjal will say to his followers, "If I kill this person and then
revive him, you people will still doubt me?"
They will reply, "No."
He will then kill this person, (according to another narration he will
split this person in two) and thereafter revive him.This person will
say, "I amtotally convinced more than ever before that you definitely
are Dajjal."
Dajjal will attempt to kill this person again but his efforts will now
be in vain.
(According to a hadith, after this incident, Dajjal will not be able
to harm anyone.)
Hadhrat Anas (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
said:"Dajjal will come and finally reach the outskirts of Madina.
There will be three tremors. At that time, all the disbelievers and
hypocrites will flee (from Madina).
In this way Madina Munawwarah will be purified of all the evil hypocrites.
Hadhrat Asma bint Yazeed(R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Salallahu
Alayhi Wasallam) once came to my house and there he spoke about
Dajjal. He said that before the emergence of Dajjal there will be
three spells of drought. In one year the skies will withold one third
of its rains, causing the earth to withold one third of its produce.
In thesecond year the skies will withold two thirds of its rains,
causing the earth towithold two thirds of its produce. In the third
year,the skies will withold all its water and there will beno crops
that year. All animals, be they hooved or toothed, will die as a
result. The greatest evil ofDajjall will be to approachanyone and ask
him: "If I bring your camel back to life, will you then believe that I
am your Rabb?"
This person will reply,"Most certainly."
Thereafter Shaytaan (fromthe many Shayateen who will always accompany
Dajjal) will appear before this person in the form of his camel with a
fat humpand fully laden udders.
Likewise Dajjal will appear before another person whose father and
brother have long passed away and ask him, "If I bring your father and
brother back to life will you believe that I am your Rabb?"
This person will reply,"Why not?"
Shaytaan will once again take on the appearance ofhis brother and father...
(Ahmad)
Hadhrat Mughira ibn Shu'ba (R.A.) says that,"No one asked Rasulullah
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) about Dajjal as much as myself.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) said to me, "How can he
possibly harm you?"
I said: "People are saying that he will have with him a mountain of
bread (provisions) and a river of water."....
