حدثنا عبد الرزاق، أخبرنا معمر، عن قتادة، عن نصر بن عاصم الليثي، عن خالد بن خالد اليشكري قال: خرجت زمان فتحت تستر حتى قدمت الكوفة، فدخلت المسجد فإذا أنا بحلقة فيها رجل صدع من الرجال، حسن الثغر، يعرف فيه أنه من رجال أهل الحجاز، قال: فقلت: من الرجل؟ فقال القوم: أو ما تعرفه؟ فقلت: لا، فقالوا: هذا حذيفة بن اليمان صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: فقعدت وحدث القوم، فقال: إن الناس كانوا يسألون رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الخير، وكنت أسأله عن الشر، فأنكر ذلك القوم عليه، فقال لهم: إني سأخبركم بما أنكرتم من ذلك، جاء الإسلام حين جاء، فجاء أمر ليس كأمر الجاهلية، وكنت قد أعطيت في القرآن فهما، فكان رجال يجيئون فيسألون عن الخير، فكنت أسأله عن الشر، فقلت: يا رسول الله، أيكون بعد هذا الخير شر كما كان قبله شر؟ فقال: " نعم "، قال: قلت: فما العصمة يا رسول الله؟ قال: " السيف "، قال: قلت: وهل بعد هذا السيف بقية؟ قال: " نعم، تكون إمارة على أقذاء وهدنة على دخن "، قال: قلت: ثم ماذا؟ قال: " ثم تنشأ دعاة الضلالة، فإن كان لله يومئذ في الأرض خليفة جلد ظهرك، وأخذ مالك فالزمه، وإلا فمت وأنت عاض على جذل شجرة "، قال: قلت: ثم ماذا؟ قال: " يخرج الدجال بعد ذلك معه نهر ونار، من وقع في ناره وجب أجره وحط وزره، ومن وقع في نهره وجب وزره وحط أجره "، قال: قلت: ثم ماذا؟ قال: " ثم ينتج المهر، فلا يركب حتى تقوم الساعة " ، الصدع من الرجال : الضرب ، وقوله: فما العصمة منه؟ قال: السيف، كان قتادة يضعه على الردة التي كانت في زمن أبي بكر، وقوله: إمارة على أقذاء يقول: على قذى وهدنة، يقول: صلح، وقوله: على دخن، يقول: على ضغائن، قيل لعبد الرزاق: ممن التفسير؟ قال: من قتادة زعم.

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #23429 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Hour (al-Sa'ah) is the moment this world ends. Everything alive dies, the universe is undone, and then comes the resurrection. The Quran mentions it again and again, and the Prophet ﷺ spoke of the signs that come before it.

[Described Characteristics]: It comes suddenly, while people are busy with their lives: one man is selling cloth, another is fixing his water trough, another is lifting food to his mouth, and none of them finishes. Before it come signs, small ones that spread slowly and ten great ones that come close together.

[Timeline & Context]: Only Allah knows. The Quran says its knowledge is with Him alone, and when Jibril asked the Prophet ﷺ, he answered: the one asked knows no more than the one asking. Any date or countdown contradicts this.

[Prophetic Practice]: A man asked, 'When is the Hour?' The Prophet ﷺ asked back, 'What have you prepared for it?' The real question is our own preparation, not the date.

[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]: The Prophet ﷺ said the Muslims will make a secure peace with the Romans, and together they will fight a common enemy.

[Described Characteristics]: They win and take spoils, and camp in a green meadow. A man from the Christians raises the cross and says 'The cross has won', a Muslim gets angry and breaks it, and the Romans betray the truce and gather for the great battle. In the hadith of Awf ibn Malik, there will be a truce with the Banu al-Asfar, who then come under eighty banners with twelve thousand men under each.

[Timeline & Context]: This truce opens the time before the Dajjal, and the great battle follows it.

[Prophetic Practice]: Keeping one's word is part of faith. Treaties are kept until the other side breaks them.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Kufa.
