حدثنا أبو معاوية، حدثنا الأعمش، عن شقيق، عن عبد الله، قال: كنا نمشي مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فمر بابن صياد، فقال: " إني قد خبأت لك خبئا "، قال ابن صياد: دخ، قال: فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " اخسأ، فلن تعدو قدرك " فقال عمر: يا رسول الله، دعني أضرب عنقه، قال: " لا، إن يكن الذي تخاف، فلن تستطيع قتله "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #3610 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.
