حدثنا ابن نمير، قال: حدثنا هشام، عن فاطمة، عن أسماء، قالت: خسفت الشمس على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فدخلت على عائشة، فقلت: ما شأن الناس يصلون؟ فأشارت برأسها إلى السماء، فقلت: آية؟ قالت: نعم، فأطال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم القيام جدا حتى تجلاني الغشي، فأخذت قربة إلى جنبي، فجعلت أصب على رأسي الماء، فانصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد تجلت الشمس، فخطب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فحمد الله، وأثنى عليه، ثم قال: " أما بعد، ما من شيء لم أكن رأيته إلا قد رأيته في مقامي هذا، حتى الجنة والنار، إنه قد أوحي إلي أنكم تفتنون في القبور قريبا، أومثل فتنة المسيح الدجال، لا أدري أي ذلك قالت أسماء، يؤتى أحدكم، فيقال: ما علمك بهذا الرجل؟ فأما المؤمن أو الموقن، لا أدري أي ذلك قالت أسماء، فيقول: هو محمد، هو رسول الله، جاءنا بالبينات والهدى، فأجبنا واتبعنا، ثلاث مرار، فيقال له: قد كنا نعلم إن كنت لتؤمن به، فنم صالحا، وأما المنافق، أو المرتاب، لا يدري أي ذلك قالت أسماء، فيقول: ما أدري، سمعت الناس يقولون شيئا فقلت "

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #26925 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]: Jannah, Paradise, is the eternal home of the believers: 'what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined'.

[Described Characteristics]: Gardens with rivers of water, milk, honey and pure drink; a hundred levels, the highest al-Firdaws under the Throne. No illness, no ageing, no sorrow, no death. Its greatest joy is seeing Allah, and His saying: 'I am pleased with you and will never be displeased with you after this.'

[Timeline & Context]: After the Bridge, the believers enter it forever. Paradise already exists now.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'When you ask Allah, ask for al-Firdaws.'
