حدثنا عفان، حدثنا عبد الواحد بن زياد، حدثنا الحارث بن حصيرة، حدثنا زيد بن وهب، قال: قال أبو ذر: لأن أحلف عشر مرار أن ابن صائد هو الدجال، أحب إلي من أن أحلف مرة واحدة أنه ليس به. قال: وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعثني إلى أمه، فقال: "سلها كم حملت به " قال: فأتيتها فسألتها، فقالت: حملت به اثني عشر شهرا. قال: ثم أرسلني إليها، فقال: "سلها عن صيحته حين وقع " قال: فرجعت إليها فسألتها، فقالت: صاح صيحة الصبي ابن شهر. ثم قال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إني قد خبأت لك خبأ " قال: خبأت لي خطم شاة عفراء والدخان. قال: فأراد أن يقول: الدخان فلم يستطع، فقال: الدخ الدخ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "اخسأ، فإنك لن تعدو قدرك "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #21319 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.
