حدثنا هشيم، أخبرنا علي بن زيد، عن يوسف بن مهران، عن ابن عباس، قال: خطب عمر بن الخطاب - وقال هشيم مرة: خطبنا - فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، فذكر الرجم، فقال: لا تخدعن عنه، فإنه حد من حدود الله، ألا إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد رجم، ورجمنا بعده، ولولا أن يقول قائلون: زاد عمر في كتاب الله عز وجل ما ليس منه، لكتبته في ناحية من المصحف، شهد عمر بن الخطاب - وقال هشيم مرة: وعبد الرحمن بن عوف وفلان وفلان - أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد رجم ورجمنا من بعده، ألا وإنه سيكون من بعدكم قوم يكذبون بالرجم، وبالدجال، وبالشفاعة، وبعذاب القبر، وبقوم يخرجون من النار بعدما امتحشوا .

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #156 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Dajjal (al-Masih al-Dajjal, the false messiah) is a single man who will appear near the end and claim to be God. Every prophet warned his people about him, and the Prophet ﷺ called his trial the greatest from the creation of Adam until the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: He is a young man, stocky, with thick curly hair, blind in his right eye, which looks like a floating grape. Between his eyes is written ka-fa-ra (kafir), which every believer can read, literate or not. He brings what looks like paradise and hell, but his paradise is fire and his fire is cool water. He orders the sky to rain and it rains. He stays forty days: one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, the rest like ordinary days. He cannot enter Makkah or Madinah.

[Timeline & Context]: In the narrated order he is the first of the great signs. He comes after the great battle with the Romans and the conquest of Constantinople, and Isa (AS) kills him at the gate of Lud.

[Prophetic Practice]: Memorise the first ten verses of Surah al-Kahf, read al-Kahf on Fridays, and in every prayer before the salam ask Allah's refuge from the trial of the Dajjal. Whoever hears of him should keep away from him.

[Core Subject]: Intercession (shafa'ah) is asking Allah, by His permission, for mercy for others. On the Day of Judgment the Prophet ﷺ will make the Great Intercession for all of humanity, and others will be allowed to intercede after him.

[Described Characteristics]: In the distress of the Gathering, people go to Adam, then Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa and Isa, and each says 'Not me, go to someone else'. Then they come to Muhammad ﷺ. He prostrates beneath the Throne and praises Allah with praises taught to him then, until he is told: 'Raise your head, ask and you will be given, intercede and it will be accepted.'

[Timeline & Context]: It comes first at the Gathering, to begin the judgment, and later for believers who entered the Fire, to bring them out.

[Prophetic Practice]: After the adhan, say the dua of the call: whoever says it, his intercession becomes due on the Day of Resurrection.

[Core Subject]: Death is the first stage of the hereafter. Between death and resurrection every soul is in al-barzakh, 'the barrier', and the grave is either a garden of Paradise or a pit of the Fire.

[Described Characteristics]: In the grave two angels ask three questions: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is this man who was sent among you? The believer answers and his grave is widened and lit, and he is shown his place in Paradise. The one who doubted says 'I don't know, I heard people saying something so I said it', and is punished.

[Timeline & Context]: It begins for each person at their own death and lasts until the Trumpet.

[Prophetic Practice]: Seek refuge from the punishment of the grave in every prayer, and remember death often: 'the destroyer of pleasures'.
