حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم يعني ابن علية، أخبرنا أبو حيان، عن أبي زرعة بن عمرو بن جرير، قال: جلس ثلاثة نفر من المسلمين إلى مروان بالمدينة، فسمعوه وهو يحدث في الآيات: أن أولها خروج الدجال، قال: فانصرف النفر إلى عبد الله بن عمرو، فحدثوه بالذي سمعوه من مروان في الآيات، فقال عبد الله: لم يقل مروان شيئا، قد حفظت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مثل ذلك حديثا لم أنسه بعد، سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " إن أول الآيات خروجا طلوع الشمس من مغربها، وخروج الدابة ضحى، فأيتهما كانت قبل صاحبتها فالأخرى على أثرها " ثم قال عبد الله - وكان يقرأ الكتب -: " وأظن أولاها خروجا طلوع الشمس من مغربها، وذلك أنها كلما غربت أتت تحت العرش فسجدت، واستأذنت في الرجوع، فأذن لها في الرجوع، حتى إذا بدا لله أن تطلع من مغربها، فعلت كما كانت تفعل: أتت تحت العرش فسجدت، واستأذنت في الرجوع، فلم يرد عليها شيء ، ثم تستأذن في الرجوع، فلا يرد عليها شيء، ثم تستأذن فلا يرد عليها شيء، حتى إذا ذهب من الليل ما شاء الله أن يذهب، وعرفت أنه إن أذن لها في الرجوع، لم تدرك المشرق، قالت: رب، ما أبعد المشرق، من لي بالناس؟ حتى إذا صار الأفق كأنه طوق، استأذنت في الرجوع، فيقال لها: من مكانك فاطلعي، فطلعت على الناس من مغربها "، ثم تلا عبد الله هذه الآية: {يوم يأتي بعض آيات ربك لا ينفع نفسا إيمانها لم تكن آمنت من قبل أو كسبت في إيمانها خيرا} [الأنعام: 158] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #6881 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]: One morning the sun will rise from the west. When people see it, everyone will believe, but faith that was not there before will no longer help, and the door of repentance closes.

[Described Characteristics]: The Quran says: 'On the day some of your Lord's signs come, no soul will benefit from its faith if it had not believed before.' The Prophet ﷺ explained that this is the rising of the sun from its place of setting.

[Timeline & Context]: The first of the last signs to appear is either the sun rising from the west or the Beast coming out in the forenoon; whichever comes first, the other follows soon after.

[Prophetic Practice]: Allah stretches out His hand by night for the one who sinned by day, and by day for the one who sinned by night, until the sun rises from the west. Repent today.

[Core Subject]: The Beast (Dabbat al-Ard) is a creature that Allah will bring out of the earth near the end. It speaks to people and marks them as believers or disbelievers.

[Described Characteristics]: The Quran says: 'We will bring out for them a beast from the earth that will speak to them, that people had no certain faith in Our signs.' Narrations in al-Tirmidhi and Ahmad add that it marks faces, so that people are known as believer or disbeliever in the marketplace; scholars differ on the grading of these details.

[Timeline & Context]: It comes close to the sun rising from the west: whichever of the two comes first, the other follows soon after.

[Prophetic Practice]: This is one of the six before which the Prophet ﷺ urged us to hasten to good deeds.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah.
