أخبرني أحمد بن محمد بن سلمة العنزي، ثنا عثمان بن سعيد الدارمي، ثنا سعيد بن أبي مريم، أنبأ نافع بن يزيد، حدثني عياش بن عباس، أن الحارث بن يزيد حدثه، أنه سمع عبد الله بن زرير الغافقي، يقول: سمعت علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه، يقول: «ستكون فتنة يحصل الناس منها كما يحصل الذهب في المعدن، فلا تسبوا أهل الشام، وسبوا ظلمتهم، فإن فيهم الأبدال، وسيرسل الله إليهم سيبا من السماء فيغرقهم حتى لو قاتلتهم الثعالب غلبتهم، ثم يبعث الله عند ذلك رجلا من عترة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم في اثني عشر ألفا إن قلوا، وخمسة عشر ألفا إن كثروا، أمارتهم أو علامتهم أمت أمت على ثلاث رايات يقاتلهم أهل سبع رايات ليس من صاحب راية إلا وهو يطمع بالملك، فيقتتلون ويهزمون، ثم يظهر الهاشمي فيرد الله إلى الناس إلفتهم ونعمتهم، فيكونون على ذلك حتى يخرج الدجال» هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8658 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 : Sham (Greater Syria).
