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

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا بقية بن الوليد، عن صفوان بن عمرو، عن شريح بن عبيد، عن كعب الأحبار، قال: " كان يقال: " كلب الساعة الدجال، ومن صبر على فتنة الدجال لم يفتن، ولن يفتن أبدا حيا ولا ميتا، ومن أدركه ولم يتبعه وجبت له الجنة، وإذا خلص الرجل وكذب الدجال مرة واحدة، وقال: قد علمت من أنت، أنت الدجال، ثم قرأ عليه بفاتحة سورة الكهف، لم يخشه، ولا يقدر أن يفتنه، وكانت له تلك الآية كالتميمة من الدجال، فطوبى لمن نجا بإيمانه قبل فتن الدجال وهوانه وصغاره، وليدركن أقواما مثل خيار أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم "

It was said: The dog of the hour is the Dajjal, and whoever is patient with the temptation of the Dajjal will not be tempted, and will never be tempted alive or dead, and whoever catches him and does not follow him will be granted Paradise, and if a man is saved and the Dajjal lies once, and says: I know who you are, you are the Dajjal, then he recites to him the opening of Surah Al-Kahf, he does not fear him, and he is not able to tempt him, and that verse was for him like an amulet from the Dajjal, so blessed is he who was saved by his faith before the temptations of the Dajjal. And his humiliation and his children, and they will reach people like the best companions of Muhammad, ﷺ

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1447 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.

[Core Subject]: Jannah, Paradise, is the eternal home of the believers: 'what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined'.

[Described Characteristics]: Gardens with rivers of water, milk, honey and pure drink; a hundred levels, the highest al-Firdaws under the Throne. No illness, no ageing, no sorrow, no death. Its greatest joy is seeing Allah, and His saying: 'I am pleased with you and will never be displeased with you after this.'

[Timeline & Context]: After the Bridge, the believers enter it forever. Paradise already exists now.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'When you ask Allah, ask for al-Firdaws.'
