- It was narrated from AlNawas Bin Saman; who said: The Messenger of Allah s.a.w mentioned the Dajjal one morning; he belittled him and mentioned his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of date-palms. He said: We departed from the presence of the Messenger of Allah s.a.w ; then we returned to him; and he noticed that concern in us. So he said: What is wrong with you? We said: O Messenger of Allah! You mentioned the Dajjal this morning; belittling him; and mentioning his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of the date-palms. He said: It is not the Dajjal that I fear for you. If he were to appear while I am among you; then I will be his adversary on your behalf. And if he appears and I am not among you; then each man will have to fend for himself. And Allah will take care of every Muslim after me. He is young; with curly hair; his eyes protruding; resembling someone from Abd AlUzza Bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him; then let him recite the beginning of Surah Ashab AlKahf.He said: He will appear from what is between AlSham and AlIraq; causing devastation toward the right and toward the left. O worshippers of Allah! Hold fast! We said: O Messenger of Allah! How long will he linger on the earth? He said: Forty days; a day like a year; a day like a month; a day like a week; and the remainder of his days are like your days. We said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you think that during the day that is like a year; the Prayer of one day will be sufficient for us? He said: No. You will have to estimate it. We said: O Messenger of Allah! How fast will he move through the earth. He said: Like a rain storm driven by the wind. He will come upon a people and call them; and they will deny him; and reject his claims. Then he will leave them; and their wealth will follow him. They will awaken in the morning with nothing left. Then he will come upon a people and call them; and they will respond to him; believing in him. So he will order the Heavens to bring rain; and it shall rain; and he will order the land to sprout; and it will sprout. Their cattle will return to them with their coats the longest; their udders the fullest and their stomachs the fattest. He said: Then he will come upon some ruins; saying to it: Bring me your treasures! He will turn to leave it; and it will follow him; like drone bees. Then he will call a young man; full of youth; and he will strike him with the sword cutting him into two pieces. Then he will call him; and he will come forward with his face beaming and laughing. So while he is doing that; Eisa Bin Mariam; ﷺ ; will descend in eastern Damascus at the white minaret; between two Mahrud; with his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head; drops fall; and when raises it; gems like pearls drop from him. He said: His the Dajjals breath does not reach anyone but he dies; and his breath reaches as far as his sight. He said: So he pursues him the Dajjal and he catches up with him at the gate of Ludd where he kills him. He said: So he remains there as long as Allah wills. He said: Then Allah reveals to him: Take my slaves to AlTur; for I have sent down some creatures of Mine which no one shall be able to kill. He said: Allah dispatches Yajuj and Majuj; and they are as Allah said: They swoop down from every mount.He said: The first of them pass by the lake of Tiberias; drinking what is in it. Then the last of them pass by it saying: There was water here at one time. They travel until they reach a mountain at Bait AlMaqdis. They will say: We have killed whoever was in the earth. Come! Let us kill whoever is in the skies. They will shoot their arrows into the Heavens; so Allah will return their arrows to them red with blood. Eisa Bin Mariam and his Companions be surrounded; until the head of a bull on that day would be better to them than a hundred Dinar to one of you today. He s.a.w said: Eisa will beseech Allah; as will his companions. He said: So Allah will send AlNaghaf down upon their necks. In the morning they will find that they have all died like the death of a single soul. He said: Eisa and his companions will come down; and no spot nor hand-span can be found; except that it is filled with their stench; decay and blood. So Eisa will beseech Allah; as will his companions. So Allah will send upon them birds like the necks of Bukht milch camels. They will carry them off and cast them into an abyss. The Muslims will burn their bows; arrows and quivers for seventy years. He s.a.w said: Allah will send upon them a rain which no house of hide nor mud will bear. The earth will be washed; leaving it like a mirror. Then it will be said to the earth: bring forth your fruits and return your blessings. So on that day; a whole troop would eat a pomegranate and seek shade under its skin. Milk will be so blessed that a large group of people will be sufficed by one milking of a camel. And that a tribe will be sufficed by one milking of a cow; and that a group will be sufficed by the milking of sheep. While it is like that; Allah will send a wind which grabs the soul of every believer; leaving the remainder of the people copulating publicly like the copulation of donkeys. Upon them the Hour shall begin. SunanAlTermithi-017-001-10339
- AlNawas Bin Saman reported that Allah Messenger ﷺ made a mention of the Dajjal one day in the morning. He ﷺ sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described his turmoil as very significant and we felt as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him to the Holy Prophet in the evening and he read the signs of fear in our faces; he ﷺ said: What is the matter with you? We said: Allah Messenger; you made a mention of the Dajjal in the morning sometimes describing him to be insignificant and sometimes very important; until we began to think as if he were present in some near part of the cluster of the date-palm trees. Thereupon he ﷺ said: I harbor fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjal. If he comes forth while I am among you; I shall contend with him on your behalf; but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you; a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf and safeguard him against his evil. He Dajjal would be a young man with twisted; contracted hair; and a blind eye. I compare him to Abd AlUzza Bin Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Surat Kahf xviii. He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere to the path of Truth. We said: Allah Messenger; how long would he stay on the earth? He ﷺ said: For forty days; one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Allah Messenger; would one day prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he ﷺ said: No; but you must make an estimate of time and then observe prayer. We said: Allah Messenger; how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he ﷺ said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them to a wrong religion and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening; their pasturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures; and the treasures would come out and collect themselves before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally between the archer and his target. He would then call that young man and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming with happiness and it would be at this very time that Allah would send Christ; son of Mary; and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head; there would fall beads of perspiration from his head; and when he would raise it up; beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odor of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him Dajjal until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus; son of Mary; and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur. And then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass; he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here at Tur; and they would be so much hard pressed that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars and Allah Apostle; Jesus; and his companions would supplicate Allah; Who would send to them insects which would attack their necks and in the morning they would perish like one single person. Allah Apostle; Jesus; and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah Apostle; Jesus; and his companions would then again beseech Allah; Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will. Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or the tent of camels hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and; as a result thereof; there would grow such a big pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that; and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such a large quantity of milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe people even under their armpits; and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them. SahihMuslim-017-001-19240
- Aisha reported that one day there sat together eleven women making an explicit promise amongst themselves that they would conceal nothing about their spouses. The first one said: My husband is a sort of the meat of a lean camel placed at the top of a hill; which it is difficult to climb up; nor the meat is good enough that one finds in oneself the urge to take it away from the top of that mountain. The second one said: My husband is so bad that I am afraid I would not be able to describe his faults-both visible and invisible completely. The third one said: My husband is a long-statured fellow i. e. he lacks intelligence. If I give vent to my feelings about him; he would divorce me; and if I keep quiet I would be made to live in a state of suspense neither completely abandoned by him nor entertained as wife. The fourth one said: My husband is like the night of Tihama the night of Hijaz and Mecca ; neither too cold nor hot; neither there is any fear of him nor grief. The fifth one said: My husband is like a leopard as he enters the house; and behaves like a lion when he gets out; and he does not ask about that which he leaves in the house. The sixth one said: So far as my husband is concerned; he eats so much that nothing is left back and when he drinks he drinks that no drop is left behind. And when he lies down he wraps his body and does not touch me so that he may know my grief. The seventh one said: My husband is heavy in spirit; having no brightness in him; impotent; suffering from all kinds of conceivable diseases; heaving such rough manners that he may break my head or wound my body; or may do both. The eighth one said: My husband is as sweet as the sweet-smelling plant; and as soft as the softness of the hare. The ninth one said: My husband is the master of a lofty building; long-statured; having heaps of ashes at his door and his house is near the meeting place and the inn. The tenth one said: My husband is Malik; and how fine Malik is; much above appreciation and praise of mine. He has many folds of his camel; more in number than the pastures for them. When they the camels hear the sound of music they become sure that they are going to be slaughtered. The eleventh one said: My husband is Abu Zara. How fine Abu Zara is! He has suspended in my ears heavy ornaments and fed me liberally that my sinews and bones are covered with fat. So he made me happy. He found me among the shepherds living in the side of the mountain; and he made me the owner of the horses; camels and lands and heaps of grain and he finds no fault with me. I sleep and get up in the morning at my own sweet will and drink to my heart content. The mother of Abu Zara; how fine is the mother of Abu Zara! Her bundles are heavily packed or receptacles in her house are filled to the brim and the house quite spacious. So far as the son of Abu Zara is concerned; his bed is as soft as a green palm-stick drawn forth from its bark; or like a sword drawn forth from its scabbard; and whom just an arm of a lamb is enough to satiate. So far as the daughter of Abu Zara is concerned; how fine is the daughter of Abu Zara; obedient to her father; obedient to her mother; wearing sufficient flesh and a source of jealousy for her co-wife. As for the slave-girl of Abu Zara; how fine is she; she does not disclose our affairs to others outside the four walls of the house. She does not remove our wheat; or provision; or take it forth; or squander it; but she preserves it faithfully as a sacred trust. And she does not let the house fill with rubbish. One day Abu Zara went out of his house when the milk was churned in the vessels; that he met a woman; having two children like leopards playing with her pomegranates chest under her vest. He divorced me Umm Zara and married that woman whom Abu Zara met on the way. I Umm Zara later on married another person; a chief; who was an expert rider; and a fine archer: he bestowed upon me many gifts and gave me one pair of every kind of animal and said: Umm Zara; make use of everything you need and send forth to your parents but the fact is that even if I combine all the gifts that he bestowed upon me; they stand no comparison to the least gift of Abu Zara. Aisha reported that Allah Messenger ﷺ said to me: I am for you as Abu Zara was for Umm Zara. SahihMuslim-017-001-20714

- Abu Huraira narrated: The Messenger of Allah s.a.w came out to us while we were discussing about AlQadar. He became angry such that his face became red; as if a pomegranate was bursting through his cheeks. He said: Is this what I ordered you to do? - or: Is this what I have been sent to you with? The people before you were only ruined when they differed about this matter. I order you [I order you] to not debate about it.. Daif SunanAlTermithi-017-001-9765

Her bundles are heavily packed or receptacles in her house are filled to the brim and the house quite spacious. So far as the son of Abu Zara is concerned; his bed is as soft as a green palm-stick drawn forth from its bark; or like a sword drawn forth from its scabbard; and whom just an arm of a lamb is enough to satiate. So far as the daughter of Abu Zara is concerned; how fine is the daughter of Abu Zara; obedient to her father; obedient to her mother; wearing sufficient flesh and a source of jealousy for her co-wife. As for the slave-girl of Abu Zara; how fine is she; she does not disclose our affairs to others outside the four walls of the house. She does not remove our wheat; or provision; or take it forth; or squander it; but she preserves it faithfully as a sacred trust. And she does not let the house fill with rubbish. One day Abu Zara went out of his house when the milk was churned in the vessels; that he met a woman; having two children like leopards playing with her pomegranates chest under her vest. He divorced me Umm Zara and married that woman whom Abu Zara met on the way. I Umm Zara later on married another person; a chief; who was an expert rider; and a fine archer: he bestowed upon me many gifts and gave me one pair of every kind of animal and said: Umm Zara; make use of everything you need and send forth to your parents but the fact is that even if I combine all the gifts that he bestowed upon me; they stand no comparison to the least gift of Abu Zara. Aisha reported that Allah Messenger ﷺ said to me: I am for you as Abu Zara was for Umm Zara. SahihMuslim-017-001-20714
