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

حدثنا نعيم ثنا ضمرة بن ربيعة، عن يحيى بن أبي عمرو السيباني، عن عمرو بن عبد الله الحضرمي، عن أبي أمامة الباهلي، رضي الله عنه، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «أيام الدجال أربعون يوما، فيوم كالسنة، ويوم دون ذلك، ويوم كالشهر، ويوم دون ذلك، ويوم كالجمعة، ويوم دون ذلك، ويوم كالأيام، ويوم دون ذلك، وآخر أيامه كالشررة في الجريدة، فيصبح الرجل بباب المدينة فلا يبلغ بابها الآخر حتى تغيب الشمس» ، قالوا: يا رسول الله، فكيف نصلي في تلك الأيام القصار؟ قال: «تقدرون كما تقدرون في هذه الأيام الطوال ثم تصلون»

The days of the Dajjal will be forty days, with one day like a year, and one day less than that, one day like a month, and one day less than that, one day like Friday, and one day less than that, one day like days, and one day less than that, and his last days will be like a spark on a newspaper. The man will be at one gate of the city in the morning and will not reach its other gate until the sun sets. You will be able to do so as you can in these long days, and then you will pray.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1554 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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah.
