Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #2392 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Hakim: هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم ولم يخرجاه | al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): على شرط مسلم.

[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]: A group of the ummah will always remain upon the truth, victorious, not harmed by those who abandon or oppose them, until the command of Allah comes.

[Described Characteristics]: They are not one organisation. Al-Bukhari said they are the people of knowledge; Ahmad said the people of hadith; al-Nawawi said they may be spread among different kinds of believers: scholars, fighters, ascetics, those who command good, in different lands.

[Timeline & Context]: They remain throughout history until the end, and the last of them fight alongside Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: Strive to be among them by holding to the truth, whoever stands with you.
