حدثنا عبد الرزاق، أخبرنا سفيان، عن الأعمش، ومنصور، عن مجاهد، عن جنادة بن أبي أمية الأزدي قال: ذهبت أنا ورجل من الأنصار إلى رجل من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلنا: حدثنا ما سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر في الدجال، ولا تحدثنا عن غيره وإن كان مصدقا قال: خطبنا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: " أنذرتكم الدجال ثلاثا فإنه لم يكن نبي قبلي إلا قد أنذره أمته، وإنه فيكم أيتها الأمة وإنه جعد آدم ممسوح العين اليسرى معه جنة ونار فناره جنة وجنته نار، ومعه جبل من خبز ونهر من ماء، وإنه يمطر المطر، ولا ينبت الشجر، وإنه يسلط على نفس فيقتلها، ولا يسلط على غيرها، وإنه يمكث في الأرض أربعين صباحا يبلغ فيها كل منهل، ولا يقرب أربعة مساجد مسجد الحرام، ومسجد المدينة، ومسجد الطور، ومسجد الأقصى، وما يشبه عليكم، فإن ربكم ليس بأعور "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #23685 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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah, Mount Tur (Sinai).
