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

حدثنا نعيم ثنا رشدين، عن ابن لهيعة، عن سعيد بن راشد، عن عثمان بن المستيفع الحميري، قال: حدثني أبي، قال: ثنا حذيفة بن اليمان، قال: «تكون غزوة في البحر، من غزاها استغنى فلم يفتقر أبدا، ومن لم يغزها لم يثر ماله بعدها إلا ما كان قبل ذلك، ثم يستصعب البحر بعد الغزو ست سنين كما كان، ثم يعود البحر بعد ست سنين كما كان ست سنين، ثم يستصعب ستا، فذلك ثمان عشرة، ثم يخرج الدجال»

There will be a raid on the sea, and whoever invades it will become rich and never become poor, and whoever does not conquer it will not gain wealth after it except what it was before that. Then the sea will become difficult after the invasion for six years as it was, then after six years the sea will return as it was for six years, then it will become difficult for six years, so that is eighteen, then the Dajjal will emerge.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1471 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.
