حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أُرَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا آدَمَ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنْ أُدْمِ الرِّجَالِ ، لَهُ لِمَّةٌ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنَ اللِّمَمِ قَدْ رَجَّلَهَا فَهِيَ تَقْطُرُ مَاءً ، مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ أَوْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِ رَجُلَيْنِ ، يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ ، فَسَأَلْتُ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقِيلَ : الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ، وَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ جَعْدٍ قَطَطٍ أَعْوَرِ الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى ، كَأَنَّهَا عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ ، فَسَأَلْتُ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقِيلَ : الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Today I saw myself in a dream near the Ka`ba. I saw a whitish brown man, the handsomest of all brown men you might ever see. He had the most beautiful Limma (hair hanging down to the earlobes) you might ever see. He had combed it and it was dripping water; and he was performing the Tawaf around the Ka`ba leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men. l asked, "Who is this?" It was said. "Messiah, the son of Mary." Suddenly I saw a curly-haired man, blind in the right eye which looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is Masiah Ad-Dajjal."

Hadith Commentary:
All these scenes you saw were in a dream. You saw ‘Isa (alayhis salam) with curly hair; from this, the purpose of the chapter is established.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In this hadith, the characteristic of the hair of ‘Isa (alayhis salam) is described: his hair was long, reaching his shoulders. As for the Messiah al-Dajjal, it is mentioned that he had tangled, very curly hair. This is the relevance to the chapter heading.
(2)
It is incorrect to deduce from this hadith that the Messiah al-Dajjal will be able to enter the Haram of Makkah, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) seeing him in a dream in Makkah does not necessitate that he will actually enter Makkah in reality. In any case, at the time of his appearance, Dajjal will not be able to enter Madinah al-Tayyibah and Makkah al-Mukarramah. (Fath al-Bari: 10/439)

Or because he is deprived of good.
(2)
Allah Ta‘ala showed the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) various prophets (alayhimus salam) at different stages of life, performing different actions,
And likewise showed them at different places,
And in today’s scientific era, understanding this has become very easy.
A person may be delivering a speech at one place,
Or a special event of sorrow or happiness may be held in one country, yet it is seen all over the world,
And everywhere it feels as if this speech or event is happening right there.
If a human being, who in this entire universe is no more than a speck,
If his intellect can accomplish this, then the power and knowledge of the Creator and Owner of the entire universe, whose limits and boundaries are endless,
If He shows the prophets (alayhimus salam) performing different actions, at different stages of life, wherever He wills,
Then what is far-fetched about this? Since the prophets (alayhimus salam) have been shown at different stages of life, performing different actions,
Therefore, sometimes,
After seeing them once, when seeing them again, you may not recognize them,
And in some places, there has also been a difference in describing their appearance,
So in reality, this is not a contradiction.
Due to the difference in stages of life or age, there is a difference in appearance and form.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Takhrij al-Hadith: [وأخرجه البخاري 5902، ومسلم 273/169، من حديث مالك به]
Jurisprudential Explanation:
➊ In one narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw ‘Isa (alayhis salam) on the night of Mi‘raj; he («جَعْدٌ مَرْبُوْعٌ») was of medium height with curly hair. [صحيح بخاري : 3396]
It is understood from this that in the heavens, Sayyiduna ‘Isa (alayhis salam) had curly hair, and after his descent to the earth, due to combing, his hair will be straight and beautiful. In this way, both narrations are reconciled. Some deniers of the finality of Prophethood try to prove the existence of two ‘Isa (alayhis salam) based on these two narrations, which is rejected.
In one hadith, it is mentioned that Musa (alayhis salam) («رَجُلاً آدَمَ طِوَالاً جَعْدًا») was wheat-colored, tall, and had curly hair. [صحيح بخاري : 3396]
◈ In another narration, it is mentioned: («رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ رَجِلٌ») he was lean and had straight hair. [صحيح بخاري : 3394]
Will it be believed, due to this apparent difference in description, that there are two Musa (alayhis salam) as well? Also, see Muhammadiyah Pocket Book [ص593، 594] where there is another linguistic discussion.
➋ ‘Isa (alayhis salam), after his descent, will perform Hajj of the House of Allah (Baytullah) when the opportunity arises.
➌ The greatest Dajjal will try to surround Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Tayyibah from all sides. Remember that entry of the Dajjal into Makkah and Madinah is forbidden.
➍ In an authentic hadith, it is mentioned that ‘Isa (alayhis salam) will descend from the heavens. See [كشف الاستار عن زوائد البزار 142/4ح 3396، وسنده صحيح]
➎ The one-eyed Dajjal is a man who will appear before the Day of Judgment. To interpret him as a particular nation or tribe, etc., is incorrect.
➏ The dream of a Prophet is a proof (hujjah).
