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

حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد بن جابر، عن عمير بن هانئ، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " فتنة الأحلاس فيها حرب وهرب، وفتنة السراء يخرج دخنها من تحت قدمي رجل يزعم أنه مني وليس مني، إنما أوليائي المتقون، ثم يصطلح الناس على رجل، ثم يكون فتنة الدهم، كلما قيل: انقطعت تمادت، حتى لا يبقى بيت من العرب إلا دخلته، يقاتل فيها لا يدري على حق يقاتل أم على باطل، فلا يزالون كذلك حتى يصيروا إلى فسطاطين: فسطاط إيمان لا نفاق فيه، وفسطاط نفاق لا إيمان فيه، فإذا هما اجتمعا فأبصر الدجال اليوم أو غدا "

The trial of good times includes war and flight, and the trial of good times comes out from under the feet of a man who claims to be from me and is not of me. Rather, my friends are the pious. Then the people will reconcile with a man, and then there will be the trial of dawn. Whenever it is said: It will end, it will continue until not a house of Arabs remains without entering it. They fight in it, not knowing whether they are right or wrong. They continue like this until they become two camps: a camp of faith with no hypocrisy, and a camp of hypocrisy with no faith. In it, when they meet, he will see the Dajjal today or tomorrow

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #93 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]: The Prophet ﷺ warned of trials (fitan) that will come like pieces of a dark night, one after another, so confusing that a man is a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening.

[Described Characteristics]: People sell their religion for a small worldly gain. In such trials, the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing better than the one running toward it.

[Timeline & Context]: They began after the Prophet's ﷺ death and continue in waves.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hasten to good deeds before trials like pieces of a dark night.' Seek refuge from the trials, the seen and the unseen.
