Hadith 12971
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ الدَّجَّالُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: ”لَأَنَا لَفِتْنَةُ بَعْضِكُمْ أَخْوَفُ عِنْدِي مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَلَنْ يَنْجُوَ أَحَدٌ مِمَّا قَبْلَهَا إِلَّا نَجَا مِنْهَا، وَمَا صُنِعَتْ فِتْنَةٌ مُنْذُ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا لِفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was mentioned in the presence of the Dajjal. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: I fear the tribulations among you, that is, mutual conflicts and quarrels, more than the tribulation of the Dajjal. And (listen) since the world was established, all the minor and major tribulations that have appeared, all of them were for the sake of the tribulation of the Dajjal.

عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ اصْطَخْرُ نَادَى مُنَادٍ: أَلَا إِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ قَدْ خَرَجَ، قَالَ: فَلَقِيَهُمُ الصَّعْبُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلَا مَا تَقُولُونَ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”لَا يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ حَتَّى يَذْهَلَ النَّاسُ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ، وَحَتَّى تَتْرُكَ الْأَئِمَّةُ ذِكْرَهُ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ“
Rashid bin Sa’d says: When Istakhr was conquered, a caller announced: Beware! The Dajjal has appeared. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Mus’ab bin Juthamah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the people and said: If what you are saying were not so, I would have told you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Dajjal will not appear until such a time comes that people become completely heedless of his mention and the imams, that is, the preachers, stop mentioning him from the pulpits.
