O Most Merciful of those who show mercy!,O Most Merciful of those who show mercy!, O Most Merciful of those who show mercy!--------------------------------------------------------------------First of all, we will quote the reports which mention the
liars and
"dajjals" who will precede the coming off the Dajjal, or
Antichrist, who
will be the last of them; may Allah curse them and punish
them with
Hell-fire.
Jabir ibn Samurah said, "I heard the Prophet say, 'Just
before the Hour
there will be many liars.'" Jabir said, "Be on your guard
against them."
(Muslim).
Jabir said, "I heard the Prophet say, 'Just before the Hour
there will be
many liars; among them is the one in al-Yamamah, the 'Ansi
in San'a', the
one in Himyar, and the Dajjal. This will be the greatest
fitnah.'''
(Ahmad.)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, "The Hour will not
come ... until
nearly 30 "dajjals" (liars) appear, each one claiming to be
a messenger
from Allah.'" (Bukhari Muslim.)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'The Hour will not
come until 30
"dajjals" appear, each of them claiming to be a messenger
from Allah,
wealth increases, tribulations appear and al-Harj
increases.'" Someone
asked, 'What is al-Harj?' He said, 'Killing, killing.'
(Ahmad.)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'The Hour will not
come until 30
"dajjals" appear, all of them lying about Allah and His
Messenger." (Abu
Dawud.)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'Just before the
Hour, there will be
30 "dajjals", each of whom will say, I am a Prophet.'"
(Ahmad.)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'There will
be "dajjals" and liars
among my Ummah. They will tell you something new, which
neither you nor
your forefathers have heard. Be on your guard against them,
and do not let
them lead you astray.'" (Ahmad.)
Thawban said, "The Prophet said, 'There will be 30 liars
among my Ummah.
Each one will claim that he is a prophet; but I am the last
of the
Prophets (Seal of the Prophets), and there will be no
Prophet after me.'"
(Ahmad.)
The Prophet said, "Verily before the Day of Resurrection
there will appear
the Dajjal, and 30 or more liars." (Ahmad.)
Ibn 'Umar said, "I heard the Prophet say, 'Among my Ummah
there will be
more than 70 callers, each of whom will be calling people
to Hell-fire. If
I wished, I could tell you their names and tribes.'"
Abu Bakrah said, "The people spoke a great deal against
Musaylimah before
the Prophet said anything about him. Then the Prophet got
up to give a
speech and said: '...as for this man about whom you have
spoken so much -
he is one of the 30 liars who will appear before the Hour,
and there is no
town which will not feel the fear of the Antichrist.'"
(Ahmad.)
In another version of this report, the Prophet said, "He is
one of the 30
liars who will appear before the Dajjal. There is no town
which will
escape the fear of the Djjal, apart from Madinah. At that
time there will
be two angels at every entrance of Madinah, warding off the
fear of the
Antichrist."
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet said, 'The time of the
Dajjal will be
years of confusion. People will believe a liar, and
disbelieve one who
tells the truth. People will distrust one who is
trustworthy, and trust
one who is treacherous; and the Ruwaybidah will have a
say.' Someone
asked, 'Who are the Ruwaybidah?' He said, 'Those who rebel
against Allah
and will have a say in general affairs.'" (Ahmad.)
Ahadith about the Dajjal
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar ibn al-Khattab went along
with the
Prophet and a group of people to Ibn Sayyad, and found him
playing with
some children near the battlement of Banu Maghalah. At that
time Ibn
Sayyad was on the threshold of adolescence; he did not
realise that
anybody was near until the Prophet struck him on the back.
The Prophet (S)
said to him: 'Do you bear witness than I am the Messenger
of Allah?' Ibn
Sayyad looked at him and said, 'I bear witness that you are
the Prophet of
the unlettered.' Then Ibn Sayyad said to the Prophet, 'Do
you bear witness
that I am the Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet dismissed
this and said, 'I
believe in Allah and His Messengers.' Then the Prophet
asked him, 'What do
you see?' Ibn Sayyad said, 'Sometimes a truthful person
comes to me, and
sometimes a liar.' The Prophet said to him, 'You are
confused', then he
said, 'I ahiding something from you.' Ibn Sayyad said, 'It
is Dukh.' The
Prophet said, 'Silence! You will not be able to go beyond
your rank.'
'Omar ibn al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I
cut off his
head?' The Prophet said, 'If he is (the Dajjal) you will
not be able to
overpower him, and if he is not, then killing will not do
you any good.'"
Salim ibn 'Abd Allah said, "I heard 'Abd Allah ibn 'Omar
say, 'After that,
the Prophet and Ubayy ibn Ka'b went along to the palm trees
where Ibn
Sayyad was. The Prophet started to hide behind a tree, with
the intention
of hearing something from Ibn Sayyad before Ibn Sayyad saw
him. The
Prophet saw him lying on a bed, murmuring beneath a
blanket. Ibn Sayyad's
mother saw the Prophet hiding behind a tree, and said to
her son, "O Saf
(Ibn Sayyad's first name), here is Mohammad!" Ibn Sayyad
jumped up, and
the Prophet said, "If you had left him alone, he would have
explained
himself.''
Salim said, "Abd Allah ibn 'Omar said, The Prophet stood up
to address the
people. He praised Allah as He deserved to be praised, then
he spoke about
the Dajjal: 'I warn you against him; there is no Prophet
who has not
warned his people against him ? even Noah warned his people
against him.
But I will tell you something which no other Prophet has
told his people.
You must know that the Dajjal is one-eyed, and Allah is not
one-eyed.'"
Ibn Shihab said: "'Omar ibn Thabit al-Ansari told me that
some of the
Companions of the Prophet told him that on the day when he
warned the
people about the Dajjal, the Prophet said: "There will be
written between
his eyes the word Kafir (unbeliever). Everyone who resents
his bad deeds -
or every believer- will be able to read it." He also
said, "You must know
that no one of you will be able to see his Lord until he
dies.'" (Muslim,
Bukhari).
Ibn 'Omar said, "The Prophet mentioned the Dajjal to the
people. He said,
"Allah is not one-eyed, but the Dajjal is blind in his
right eye, and his
eye is like a floating grape.'" (Muslim)
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet said, 'there has never
been a Prophet
who did not warn his people against that one-eyed liar.
Verily he is
one-eyed and your Lord is not one-eyed. On his forehead
will be written
the letter Kaf, Fa, Ra (Kafir).'" (Muslim, Bukhari)
Hudhayfah said, "The Prophet said, 'I know more about the
powers which the
Dajjal will have than he will know himself. He will have
two flowing
rivers: one will appear to be pure water, and the other
will appear to be
flaming fire. Whosoever lives to see that, let him choose
the river which
seems to be fire, then let him close his eyes, lower his
head and drink
from it, for it will be cold water. The Dajjal will be one-
eyed; the place
where one eye should be will be covered by a piece of skin.
On his
forehead will be written the word Kafir, and every
believer, whether
literate or illiterate, will be able to read it.'" (Muslim)
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'Shall I tell you
something about
the Dajjal which no Prophet has ever told his people before
me? The Dajjal
is one-eyed and will bring with him something which will
resemble Paradise
and Hell; but that which he calls Paradise will in fact be
Hell. I warn
you against him as Noah warned his people against him.'"
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Mohammad ibn Munkadir said: "I saw Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah
swearing by Allah
that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal, so I asked him, 'Do you
swear by Allah?'
He said, 'I heard 'Omar swear to that effect in the
presence of the
Prophet, and the Prophet did not disapprove of it.'"
Some 'ulama' (scholars) say that some of the Sahabah
(Companions of the
Prophet) believed Ibn Sayyad to be the greater Dajjal, but
that is not the
case: Ibn Sayyad was a lesser dajjal.
Ibn Sayyad travelled between Makkah and Madinah with Abu
Sa'id, and
complained to him about the way that people were saying
that he was the
Dajjal. Then he said to Abu Sa'id, "Did not the Prophet say
that the
Dajjal would not enter Madinah? I was born there. Did not
he say that he
would not have any children? - I have children. Did not he
say that he
would be a Kafir? - I have embraced Islam. Of all the
people, I know the
most about him: I know where he is now. If I were given the
opportunity to
be in his place, I would not resent it.'" (Bukhari, Muslim)
There are many Ahadith about Ibn Sayyad, some of which are
not clear as to
whether he was the Dajjal or not. We shall see Ahadith
which indicates
that the Dajjal is not Ibn Sayyad, as in the Hadith of
Fatimah Bint Qays
al-Fahriyyah, although this does not mean that he was not
one of the
lesser Dajjal; but Allah knows best.
THE HADITH OF FATIMAH BINT QAYS: 'Amir ibn Sharahil Sha'bi
Sha'b Hamdan
reported that he asked Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of
Dahhak ibn Qays,
who was one of the first Muhajirat, "Tell me a Hadith which
you heard
directly from the Prophet with no narrator in between." She
said, "I can
tell you if you like." He said, 'Yes, please tell me," she
said, "I
married Ibn al-Mughirah, who was one of the best of the
youth of Quraysh
in those days. But he fell in the first Jihad on the side
of the Prophet.
"When I became a widow, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, one of the
companions of
the Prophet sent me a proposal of marriage. The Prophet
also sent me a
proposal of marriage on behalf of his freedman Usamah ibn
Zayd. I had been
told that the Prophet had said, 'He who loves me should
also love Usamah.'
When the Prophet spoke to me, I said, 'It is up to you:
marry me to
whomever you wish.'
"The Prophet said, 'Go and stay with Umm Sharik.' Umm
Sharik was a rich
Ansari (Muslim originally from Madinah) woman, who spent
much in the way
of Allah and entertained many guests. I said, 'I will do as
you wish.'
Then he said, 'Don't go. Umm Sharik has many guests, and I
would not like
it if your head or leg were to become uncovered
accidentally and people
saw something you would not wish them to see. It is better
if you go and
stay with your cousin 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr ibn Umm Maktum'
(Abd Allah was
of the Banu Fihr of Quraysh, the same tribe as that to
which Fatima
belonged).
"So I went to stay with him, and when I had completed
my 'Iddah (perio of
waiting), I heard the Prophet's announer calling for
congregational
prayer. I went out to the mosque, and prayed behind the
Prophet. I was in
the women's row, which was at the back of the congregation.
When the
Prophet had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit,
smiling, and said,
'Everyone should stay in his place.' Then he said, 'Do you
know why I had
asked you to assemble?' The people said, 'Allah and His
Messenger know
best.'
"He said, 'By Allah, I have not gathered you here to give
you an
exhortation or a warning. I have kept you here because
Tamim al-Dari, a
Christian man who has come and embraced Islam, told me
something which
agrees with that which I have told you about the Dajjal. He
told me that
he had sailed in a ship with 30 men from Banu Lakhm and
Banu Judham. The
waves had tossed them about for a month, then they were
brought near to an
island, at the time of sunset. They landed on the island,
and were met by
a beast who was so hairy that they could not tell its front
from its back.
They said, "Woe to you! What are you?" It said, "I am al-
Jassasah." They
said, "What is al-Jassasah?" It said, "O people, go to this
man in the
monastery, for he is very eager to know about you." Tamim
said that when
it named a person to us, we were afraid lest it be a devil.
"Tamim said, 'We quickly went to the monastery. There we
found a huge man
with his hands tied up to his neck and with iron shackles
between his legs
up to the ankles. We said, "Woe to you, who are you?" He
said, "You will
soon know about me. Tell me who you are." We said, "We are
people from
Arabia. We sailed in a ship, but the waves have been
tossing us about for
a month, and they brought us to your island, where we met a
beast who was
so hairy that we could not tell its front from its back. We
said to it,
"Woe to you! What are you? and it said , "I am al-
Jassasah." We asked,
"What is al-Jassasah?" and it told us, "Go to this man in
the monastery,
for he isvery eager to know about you." So we came to you
quickly,
fearinthat it might be a devil.'
"The man said, "Tell me about the date-palms of Baysan.' We
said, 'What do
you want to know about them?" He said, 'I want to know
whether these trees
bear fruit or not.' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Soon they
will not bear
fruit.' Then he said, "Tell me about the lake of al-
Tabariyyah [Tiberias,
in Palestine].' We said, 'What do you want to know about
it?" He asked,
'Is there water in it?' We said, 'There is plenty of water
in it.' He
said, 'Soon it will become dry.' Then he said, 'Tell me
about the spring
of Zughar.' We said, 'What do you want to know about it?'
He said, 'Is
there water in it, and does it irrigate the land?" We
said, 'Yes, there is
plenty of water in it, and the people use it to irrigate
the land.'
"Then he said, "Tell me about the unlettered Prophet ' what
has he done?'
We said, 'He has left Makkah and settled in Yathrib.' He
asked, 'Do the
Arabs fight against him?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'How
does he deal with
them?' So we told him that the Prophet had overcome the
Arabs around him
and that they had followed him. He asked, 'Has it really
happened?' We
said, 'Yes.' He said, 'It is better for them if they follow
him. Now I
will tell you about myself. I am the Dajjal. I will soon be
permitted to
leave this place: I will emerge and travel about the earth.
In 40 nights I
will pass through every town, except Makkah and Madinah,
for these have
been forbidden to me. Every time I try to enter either of
them, I will be
met by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword, who will
prevent me from
entering. There will be angels guarding them at every
passage leading to
them.'
Fatimah said, "The Prophet striking the pulpit with his
staff, said: 'This
is Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah, [ie
Madinah]. Have I not
told you something like this?' The people said, 'Yes.' He
said, 'I liked
the account given to me by Tamim because it agrees with
that which I have
told you about the Dajjal, and about Makkah and Madinah.
Indeed he is in
the Syrian sea or the Yemen sea. No, on the contrary, he is
in the East,
he is in the East, he is in the East' and he pointed
towards the East.
Fatimah said: I memorised this from the Prophet." (Muslim).
'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet (S) said, 'While I
was asleep, I
saw myself a dream performing Tawaf (circumambulation)
around the Ka'bah.
I saw a ruddy man with lank hair and water dripping from
his head. I said,
'Who is he?" and they said, "The son of Mary." Then I
turned around and
saw another man with a huge body, red complexion, curly
hair and one eye.
His other eye looked like a floating grape. They
said, "This is the
Dajjal." The one who most resembles him is Ibn Qatan, a man
from the tribe
of al-Khuza'ah'." (Bukhari, Muslim).
Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah said, "The Prophet said, 'The Dajjal
will appear at
the end of time, when religion is taken lightly. He will
have 40 days in
which to travel throughout the earth. One of these days
will be like a
year, another will be like a month, a third will be like a
week, and the
rest will be like normal days. He will be riding a donkey;
the width
between its ears will be 40 cubits. He will say to the
people: "I am your
lord." He is one-eyed, but your Lord is not one-eyed. On
his forehead will
be written the word Kafir, and every believer, literate or
illiterate,
will be able to read it. He will go everywhere except
Makkah and Madinah,
which Allah has forbidden to him; angels stand at their
gates. He will
have a mountain of bread, and the people will face
hardship, except for
those who follow him. He will have two rivers, and I know
what is in them.
He will call one Paradise and one Hell. Whoever enters the
one he calls
Paradise will find that it is Hell, and whoever enters the
one he calls
Hell will find that it is Paradise. Allah will send with
him devils who
will speak to the people. He will bring a great
tribulation; he will issue
a command to the sky and it will seem to the people as if
it is raining.
Then he will appear to kill someone and bring him back to
life. After that
he will no longer have this power. The people will
say, "Can anybody do
something like this except the Lord?" The Muslims will flee
to Jabal
al-Dukhan in Syria, and the Dajjal will come and besiege
them. The siege
will intensify and they will suffer great hardship. Then
Jesus son of Mary
will descend, and will call the people at dawn: "O people,
what prevented
you from coming out to fight this evil liar?" They will
answer, "He is a
Jinn." Then they will go out, and find Jesus son of Mary.
The time for
prayer will come, and the Muslims will call on Jesus to
lead the prayer,
but he will say, "Let your Imam lead the prayer." Their
Imam will lead
them in praying Salat al-Subh (Morning prayer), then they
will go out to
fight the Dajjal. When the liar sees Jesus, he will
dissolve like salt in
water. Jesus will go to him and kill him, and he will not
let anyone who
followed him live'." (Ahmad).
