حدثنا أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، ثنا أبو جعفر محمد بن عون بن سفيان الطائي بحمص، ثنا أبو المغيرة عبد القدوس بن الحجاج، ثنا عبد الله بن سالم الحمصي، عن العلاء بن عتبة اليحصبي، عن عمير بن هانئ العبسي، قال: سمعت عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما، يقول: كنا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر الفتن وأكثر في ذكرها حتى ذكر فتنة الأحلاس، فقال قائل: وما فتنة الأحلاس؟ قال: " هي فتنة هرب وحرب، ثم فتنة السرى - أو السراء - ثم يصطلح الناس على رجل كورك على ضلع، ثم فتنة الدهماء لا تدع من هذه الأمة إلا لطمته لطمة، فإذا قيل انقطعت تمادت، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، حتى يصير الناس إلى فسطاطين: فسطاط إيمان لا نفاق فيه، وفسطاط نفاق لا إيمان فيه، فإذا كان ذاكم فانتظروا الدجال من اليوم أو غد «هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه»

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8441 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

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

[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]: The Prophet ﷺ warned of trials (fitan) that will come like pieces of a dark night, one after another, so confusing that a man is a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening.

[Described Characteristics]: People sell their religion for a small worldly gain. In such trials, the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing better than the one running toward it.

[Timeline & Context]: They began after the Prophet's ﷺ death and continue in waves.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hasten to good deeds before trials like pieces of a dark night.' Seek refuge from the trials, the seen and the unseen.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Homs.
