أخبرني أبو علي الحافظ، أنبأ الحسين بن سفيان، وعمران بن موسى، قالا: ثنا أبو كامل الجحدري، ثنا محمد بن عبد الرحمن الطفاوي، ثنا أيوب، عن حميد بن هلال، قال: كان الناس يمرون على هشام بن عامر ويأتون عمران بن حصين، فقال هشام: إن هؤلاء يجتازون إلى رجل قد كنا أكثر مشاهدة لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منه وأحفظ عنه، لقد سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «ما بين خلق آدم إلى قيام الساعة فتنة أكبر عند الله من الدجال» هذا حديث صحيح على شرط البخاري، ولم يخرجاه "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8610 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Hakim: هذا حديث صحيح على شرط البخاري، ولم يخرجاه | al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص.

[Core Subject]: The Hour (al-Sa'ah) is the moment this world ends. Everything alive dies, the universe is undone, and then comes the resurrection. The Quran mentions it again and again, and the Prophet ﷺ spoke of the signs that come before it.

[Described Characteristics]: It comes suddenly, while people are busy with their lives: one man is selling cloth, another is fixing his water trough, another is lifting food to his mouth, and none of them finishes. Before it come signs, small ones that spread slowly and ten great ones that come close together.

[Timeline & Context]: Only Allah knows. The Quran says its knowledge is with Him alone, and when Jibril asked the Prophet ﷺ, he answered: the one asked knows no more than the one asking. Any date or countdown contradicts this.

[Prophetic Practice]: A man asked, 'When is the Hour?' The Prophet ﷺ asked back, 'What have you prepared for it?' The real question is our own preparation, not the date.

[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.
