حَدَّثَنَا
مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا
جَرِيرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الدَّهْمَاءِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ سَمِعَ بِالدَّجَّالِ فَلْيَنْأَ عَنْهُ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَأْتِيهِ وَهُوَ يَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ ، فَيَتَّبِعُهُ مِمَّا يَبْعَثُ بِهِ مِنَ الشُّبُهَاتِ ، أَوْ لِمَا يَبْعَثُ بِهِ مِنَ الشُّبُهَاتِ " ، هَكَذَا قَالَ .
Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: The Prophet ﷺ said: Let him who hears of the Dajjal (Antichrist) go far from him for I swear by Allah that a man will come to him thinking he is a believer and follow him because of confused ideas roused in him by him.
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
There is safety only in keeping away from those who cause tribulation and misguidance, or things of this nature.
However, it is a right to go to such people for the purpose of expressing the truth and refuting falsehood.
But superficial Muslims may be led astray by being influenced by them, therefore it is necessary to keep away from them and to make every effort to strengthen one’s own faith.
