Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

يا أيها الناس، إنها لم تكن فتنة في الأرض أعظم من فتنة الدجال، وإن الله تعالى لم يبعث نبيا إلا حذر أمته، وأنا آخر الأنبياء، وأنتم آخر الأمم، وهو خارج فيكم لا محالة، فإن يخرج وأنا فيكم فأنا حجيج كل مسلم، وإن يخرج بعدي فكل امرئ حجيج نفسه، والله خليفتي على كل مسلم، فمن لقيه منكم فليتفل في وجهه، وليقرأ بفواتيح سورة الكهف

O people, there has never been a tribulation on earth greater than the temptation of the Dajjal, and Allah Almighty has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation, and I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last of the nations, and he will inevitably emerge among you. If he emerges while I am among you, then I will be a pilgrim for every Muslim, and if he emerges after me, every person will be a pilgrim for himself, and Allah is my successor over every Muslim, so whoever of you meets him should spit on his face, and recite the opening verses of Surah Al-Kahf.

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

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

اعلموا أيها الناس أنكم غير ملاقي ربكم حتى تموتوا، وإن ربكم ليس بأعور، إن الدجال يكذب على الله، مطموس عينه، ليست بناتئة ولا حجراء، مكتوب بين عينيه: كافر، يقرأه كل مؤمن، فإن يخرج وأنا فيكم فأنا حجيجكم منه، وإن يخرج بعدي ولست فيكم فامرؤ حجيج نفسه، والله خليفتي على كل مسلم، من لقيه منكم فليقرأ فاتحة سورة الكهف

Know, O people, that you will not meet your Lord until you die, and that your Lord is not one-eyed. Indeed, the Dajjal lies about Allah. His eyes are concealed, neither bulging nor hollow. Written between his eyes is: Infidel. Every believer will recite it. If he comes out while I am among you, then I will be your pilgrim from him, and if he comes out after me and I am not among you, then someone will plead with himself. And Allah is my successor over every Muslim. Whoever of you meets him, let him recite the Fatiha of Surah Al-Kahf.

إن بين يدي الساعة كذابين، منهم صاحب اليمامة، ومنهم صاحب صنعاء العنسي، ومنهم صاحب حمير، ومنهم الدجال، والدجال أعظمهم فتنة

Indeed, before the Hour there are liars, among them is the owner of Al-Yamamah, among them is the owner of Sana’a Al-Ansi, among them is the owner of Himyar, and among them is the Dajjal, and the Dajjal is the greatest of temptations.

إني قد حدثتكم عن الدجال حتى خشيت أن لا تعقلوا، إن مسيح الدجال رجل قصير، أفحج، جعد، أعور، مطموس العين، ليست بناتئة ولا حجراء، فإن التبس عليكم فاعلموا أن ربكم ليس بأعور، وإنكم لن تروا ربكم حتى تموتوا

Indeed, I have told you about the Dajjal to the point that I feared that you would not understand. Indeed, the Messiah of the Dajjal is a short, unkempt, wrinkled, one-eyed man with dark eyes, neither protruding nor small. If you become confused, know that your Lord is not one-eyed, and that you will not see your Lord until you die.

الدجال أعور عين الشمال، بين جبينه مكتوب: كافر، وعلى عينه ظفرة غليظة ، قال سهل: هو: ك ف ر، والكاف والفاء والراء ملتزق بعضه ببعض كالكتابة

The Dajjal has one eye in the left eye, between his forehead is written: Infidel, and on his eye there is a thick spot. Sahl said: It is: K-F-R, and the K-F, F-R, and R-A are connected to each other like the writing.

رجل قد استخفته الأحاديث، كلما وضع أحدوثة كذب وانقطعت مدها بأطول منها، إن يدرك الدجال يتبعه

A man who has been underestimated by hadiths. Every time he fabricates a hadith, he lies, and its duration is cut off for a longer period of time. If the Dajjal catches up with him, he will follow him.

إني أنذرتكموه، وما من نبي إلا أنذر قومه، لقد أنذره نوح قومه، ولكن سأقول لكم فيه قولا لم يقله نبي لقومه، أتعلمون أنه أعور، وأن الله ليس بأعور

Narrated Ibn Umar: (Later on) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (once again) went along with Ubai bin Ka'b to the garden of date-palms where Ibn Saiyad was staying. When the Prophet entered the garden, he started hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palms as he wanted to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was lying in his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, "O Saf!" (And this was his name). Ibn Saiyad got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Had this woman let him to himself, he would have revealed the reality of his case." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up amongst the people, glorifying Allah as He deserves, he mentioned Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you about him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) and there is no prophet who did not warn his nation about him, and Noah warned his nation about him, but I tell you a statement which no prophet informed his nation of. You should understand that he is a one-eyed man and Allah is not one-eyed
