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

حدثنا نعيم حدثنا عبد الرزاق، عن معمر، عن قتادة، عن شهر بن حوشب، عن أسماء بنت يزيد الأنصارية، قالت: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بيتي فذكر الدجال فقال: «إن بين يديه ثلاث سنين، سنة تمسك السماء ثلث قطرها، والأرض ثلث نباتها، والثانية تمسك السماء ثلثي قطرها، والأرض ثلثي نباتها، والثالثة تمسك السماء قطرها كله، والأرض نباتها كله، فلا تبقى ذات ظلف، ولا ذات ضرس من البهائم إلا هلكت»

There are three years before Him: one year the sky retains a third of its diameter, and the earth a third of its vegetation, the second the sky retains two-thirds of its diameter, and the earth two-thirds of its vegetation, and the third year the sky retains its entire diameter, and the earth its entire vegetation, so that not a hoofed animal nor a molar of animals remains without it perishing.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1481 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.
