Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا هشيم، عن مجالد، قال: حدثنا الشعبي، عن صلة بن زفر، سمع حذيفة بن اليمان، وقال، له رجل: خرج الدجال؟ فقال حذيفة: " أما ما كان فيكم أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم فلا والله، لا يخرج حتى يتمنى قوم خروجه، ولا يخرج حتى يكون خروجه أحب إلى أقوام من شرب الماء البارد في اليوم الحار، وليكونن فيكم أيتها الأمة أربع فتن: الرقطاء، والمظلمة، وفلانة، وفلانة، ولتسلمنكم الرابعة إلى الدجال، وليقتتلن بهذا الغائط فئتان، ما أبالي في أيهما رميت بسهم كنانتي "

As for those among you who are companions of Muhammad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), no, by Allah, he will not come out until a people wishes him to come out, and he will not come out until his exit is more beloved to some people than drinking cold water on a hot day. And there will be among you, O nation, four temptations: the speckled, the dark, so-and-so, and so-and-so, and the fourth will hand you over to the Dajjal, and two groups will fight over this excrement. I do not care which one I shot with my quiver.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #105 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.
