حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ , حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ , حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي , أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلَابِيَّ , يَقُولُ : ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الدَّجَّالَ الْغَدَاةَ , فَخَفَضَ فِيهِ وَرَفَعَ , حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ , فَلَمَّا رُحْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِينَا , فَقَالَ : " مَا شَأْنُكُمْ ؟ " , فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ذَكَرْتَ الدَّجَّالَ الْغَدَاةَ , فَخَفَضْتَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعْتَ , حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ , قَالَ : " غَيْرُ الدَّجَّالِ أَخْوَفُنِي عَلَيْكُمْ , إِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ دُونَكُمْ , وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَلَسْتُ فِيكُمْ فَامْرُؤٌ حَجِيجُ نَفْسِهِ , وَاللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ , إِنَّهُ شَابٌّ قَطَطٌ , عَيْنُهُ قَائِمَةٌ , كَأَنِّي أُشَبِّهُهُ بِعَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قَطَنٍ , فَمَنْ رَآهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاتِحَ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ , إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خَلَّةٍ بَيْنَ الشَّامِ , وَالْعِرَاقِ , فَعَاثَ يَمِينًا , وَعَاثَ شِمَالًا , يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ , اثْبُتُوا " , قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَمَا لُبْثُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا , يَوْمٌ كَسَنَةٍ , وَيَوْمٌ كَشَهْرٍ , وَيَوْمٌ كَجُمُعَةٍ , وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ كَأَيَّامِكُمْ " , قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَسَنَةٍ تَكْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلَاةُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ : " فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ قَدْرًا " , قَالَ : قُلْنَا : فَمَا إِسْرَاعُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ؟ قَالَ : " كَالْغَيْثِ اشْتَدَّ بِهِ الرِّيحُ " , قَالَ : " فَيَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ فَيَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُ , وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ , فَيَأْمُرُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تُمْطِرَ فَتُمْطِرَ , وَيَأْمُرُ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تُنْبِتَ فَتُنْبِتَ , وَتَرُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَارِحَتُهُمْ أَطْوَلَ مَا كَانَتْ ذُرًى , وَأَسْبَغَهُ ضُرُوعًا , وَأَمَدَّهُ خَوَاصِرَ , ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ فَيَرُدُّونَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ , فَيَنْصَرِفُ عَنْهُمْ , فَيُصْبِحُونَ مُمْحِلِينَ مَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ , ثُمَّ يَمُرَّ بِالْخَرِبَةِ , فَيَقُولُ لَهَا : أَخْرِجِي كُنُوزَكِ , فَيَنْطَلِقُ , فَتَتْبَعُهُ كُنُوزُهَا كَيَعَاسِيبِ النَّحْلِ , ثُمَّ يَدْعُو رَجُلًا مُمْتَلِئًا شَبَابًا , فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ ضَرْبَةً فَيَقْطَعُهُ جِزْلَتَيْنِ رَمْيَةَ الْغَرَضِ , ثُمَّ يَدْعُوهُ فَيُقْبِلُ يَتَهَلَّلُ وَجْهُهُ يَضْحَكُ , فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ , فَيَنْزِلُ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ شَرْقِيَّ دِمَشْقَ بَيْنَ مَهْرُودَتَيْنِ , وَاضِعًا كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ مَلَكَيْنِ , إِذَا طَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ قَطَرَ , وَإِذَا رَفَعَهُ يَنْحَدِرُ مِنْهُ جُمَانٌ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ , وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِكَافِرٍ أَنْ يَجِدُ رِيحَ نَفَسِهِ , إِلَّا مَاتَ وَنَفَسُهُ يَنْتَهِي حَيْثُ يَنْتَهِي طَرَفُهُ , فَيَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَهُ عِنْدَ بَابِ لُدٍّ فَيَقْتُلُهُ , ثُمَّ يَأْتِي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ عِيسَى قَوْمًا قَدْ عَصَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ , فَيَمْسَحُ وُجُوهَهُمْ , وَيُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِدَرَجَاتِهِمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ , فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ , إِذْ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ : يَا عِيسَى , إِنِّي قَدْ أَخْرَجْتُ عِبَادًا لِي لَا يَدَانِ لِأَحَدٍ بِقِتَالِهِمْ , وَأَحْرِزْ عِبَادِي إِلَى الطُّورِ , وَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ , وَهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ : مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ سورة الأنبياء آية 96 , فَيَمُرُّ أَوَائِلُهُمْ عَلَى بُحَيْرَةِ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ , فَيَشْرَبُونَ مَا فِيهَا , ثُمَّ يَمُرُّ آخِرُهُمْ , فَيَقُولُونَ : لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي هَذَا مَاءٌ مَرَّةً , وَيَحْضُرُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ رَأْسُ الثَّوْرِ لِأَحَدِهِمْ خَيْرًا مِنْ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ لِأَحَدِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ , فَيَرْغَبُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ , فَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّغَفَ فِي رِقَابِهِمْ , فَيُصْبِحُونَ فَرْسَى كَمَوْتِ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ , وَيَهْبِطُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ , فَلَا يَجِدُونَ مَوْضِعَ شِبْرٍ إِلَّا قَدْ مَلَأَهُ زَهَمُهُمْ , وَنَتْنُهُمْ , وَدِمَاؤُهُمْ , فَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ , فَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا كَأَعْنَاقِ الْبُخْتِ , فَتَحْمِلُهُمْ فَتَطْرَحُهُمْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللَّهُ , ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا لَا يُكِنُّ مِنْهُ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ , وَلَا وَبَرٍ فَيَغْسِلُهُ , حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ كَالزَّلَقَةِ , ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِلْأَرْضِ أَنْبِتِي ثَمَرَتَكِ , وَرُدِّي بَرَكَتَكِ , فَيَوْمَئِذٍ تَأْكُلُ الْعِصَابَةُ مِنَ الرِّمَّانَةِ فَتُشْبِعُهُمْ , وَيَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِقِحْفِهَا , وَيُبَارِكُ اللَّهُ فِي الرِّسْلِ , حَتَّى إِنَّ اللِّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ تَكْفِي الْفِئَامَ مِنَ النَّاسِ , وَاللِّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ تَكْفِي الْقَبِيلَةَ , وَاللِّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ تَكْفِي الْفَخِذَ , فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً , فَتَأْخُذُ تَحْتَ آبَاطِهِمْ فَتَقْبِضُ رُوحَ كُلَّ مُسْلِمٍ , وَيَبْقَى سَائِرُ النَّاسِ يَتَهَارَجُونَ كَمَا تَتَهَارَجُ الْحُمُرُ , , فَعَلَيْهِمْ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ " .
´Nawwas bin Sam'an Al-Kilabi said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: Jordan is the mountain from where ‘Isa (alayhis salam) disappeared and ascended to the heavens, and another person, having taken on his likeness, went instead, so the Jews crucified him. Although this account is present in the four famous versions of the Gospel, the Christians have altered them, whereas in the Gospel of Barnabas, the account remains exactly as it is in the Noble Qur’an. In it, there is also a clear prophecy of the birth of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and his blessed name is mentioned as well: that when the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), comes, the accusation against me that I was crucified will be lifted. Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) states that in our time, a white minaret was found there in the year 741, and this is a great sign of his prophethood. And the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has foretold many such matters which were not present in his era. Among them is the hadith of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu): when ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) compiled the Qur’an, he said, “Those who will love me greatly are those who, after me, will have faith in me and will act upon whatever is in the pages (i.e., the Mushaf).” Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) said that previously he did not understand the meaning of “pages,” but when ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) had the Mushaf written, he understood the meaning of “pages.” ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) gave Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) ten thousand dirhams for narrating this hadith. And in some ahadith, it is mentioned that ‘Isa (alayhis salam) will descend in Bayt al-Maqdis, and in others, that he will descend among the Muslim army, but the narration of Bayt al-Maqdis is very well-known. And Jordan is the name of the entire region where Bayt al-Maqdis is located. And if there is not a white minaret there now, it will be built in the future. And whoever denies a sahih hadith is ignorant and misguided.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The recitation of the first section (ruku‘) of Surah al-Kahf is a means of protection from the tribulation of the Dajjal.
➋ Scholars should narrate the authentic hadiths regarding the signs of the Hour to the general public, especially informing them about the Dajjal, so that they may safeguard themselves from this tribulation.
➌ The rain falling or drought occurring at the command of the Dajjal is a trial just like his Paradise and Hell, or his reviving the dead.
➍ During the era of the Dajjal’s appearance, the current system of day and night will be suspended for a limited period.
➎ On the day that will be as long as a year, it is commanded to estimate the times and perform all the prayers of the year accordingly. This indicates that at that time, people will have means by which they can accurately estimate time; this is a prophecy regarding the invention of the clock.
➏ This hadith also applies to those regions of the North and South Poles where, during certain parts of the year, the usual system of day and night does not remain. In such areas, the estimation of prayer and fasting times should be done by looking at the clock. If someone travels into space, the same principle should be observed there as well.
➐ ‘Isa (alayhis salam) is alive in the heavens. All Muslims are agreed upon this. It is also a unanimously agreed upon matter that he will return to the earth. Only Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his followers differ in this.
➑ Many aspects of the life of ‘Isa (alayhis salam) possess miraculous qualities. Among them is that previously the disbelievers tried to martyr him, but now it will not be possible for disbelievers to remain alive within his sight.
➒ Ludd is a city located in Palestine (the present Jewish state of Israel). There is also an airport there. It is possible that the “gate of the city” refers to its airport, where the Dajjal, in his attempt to escape, will be seized by ‘Isa (alayhis salam).
➓ The Dajjal is also called “al-Masih” (the Messiah), but he is the false Messiah. ‘Isa (alayhis salam) is the true Messiah, by whose hand the Dajjal will be cast into Hell.
⓫ Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog) will be physically very powerful and extremely numerous, so ordinary people will not be able to confront them.
⓬ Where are Ya’juj and Ma’juj at present? This is not known; however, they certainly exist—there is no doubt about this.
⓭ It is not correct to declare the people of China, Russia, or any other country as Ya’juj and Ma’juj.
⓮ Ya’juj and Ma’juj will suddenly perish.
⓯ After the destruction of Ya’juj and Ma’juj, there will be great blessings in the produce of plants and animals.
⓰ The death of ‘Isa (alayhis salam) will occur in Madinah Munawwarah.
⓱ After him, there will be his successors (khulafa’); the number of Muslims will gradually decrease, and finally, the remaining Muslims will die due to a special wind.
⓲ The initial stages of the Day of Resurrection, such as: the blowing of the Trumpet and the death of all, etc., are extremely severe stages. Allah, the Exalted, will protect the Muslims from them.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This hadith establishes that those people who, upon reaching Makkah al-Mukarramah, perform the circumambulation (tawaf) of ‘umrah and then exit the state of ihram, become completely lawful (halal), and none of the restrictions of ihram remain upon them. Even sexual relations become permissible for them, and for Hajj, they will assume a new ihram on the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The better method for this is that on the 8th, they perform a ritual bath (ghusl) and then assume ihram; if a woman is menstruating (ha’id), she should also perform the ritual bath (ghusl). Furthermore, this hadith also establishes that ‘A’ishah radi Allahu anha had assumed ihram for Hajj along with ‘umrah; she did not abandon ‘umrah. Therefore, her Hajj was Hajj Qiran, not Hajj Mufrad. That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “You have become lawful (halal) from both your Hajj and ‘umrah.” And the ‘umrah that ‘A’ishah radi Allahu anha performed from Tan‘im was merely to remove the unease and discomfort of her heart; she had not abandoned ‘umrah such that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have prescribed a compensatory act (qada) for it. And this hadith also establishes that for Hajj Qiran, one tawaf and one sa‘y are sufficient.

Explanation:
1:
There are two opinions regarding the meaning and intent of "fakhada fihi wa rafa'a":
One (khafada), in the sense of (haqara), meaning that he is lowly and insignificant in the sight of Allah, the Exalted. To the extent that Allah, the Exalted, created him one-eyed in this world. The statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that the Dajjal is more contemptible in the sight of Allah, Lord of Might, than this—that is, he will not have the power to kill anyone except this one man. Rather, he will be incapable of doing so. His affair will become weakened, and after that, he and his followers and supporters will be killed. As for (rafa'a), its meaning is the vastness of his evil and tribulation, and that the extraordinary things he will possess will be a great trial for the people. This is why every prophet warned his people about his tribulation. The second meaning of this phrase is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned him so extensively that after a lengthy discourse, his voice became low so that during the conversation he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam could rest, then his voice became loud again to inform everyone of this tribulation.
2:
That is, after my lifetime, during the tribulation of the Dajjal, the guardian of my ummah is Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
3:
Ludd:
It is a city near Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). In al-Nihayah fi Gharib al-Hadith, it is stated that Ludd is a place in the land of al-Sham (Greater Syria). It is also said to be a place in Palestine. (This is nowadays a military base of Israel.)
4:
The quantity of their weapons will be so great, or the number of Muslims at that time will be so few.
5:
In this hadith, there is mention of the signs of the Hour, the emergence of the Dajjal, the descent of ‘Isa ibn Maryam, the appearance of Gog and Magog (Ya’juj wa Ma’juj), and the important events that will occur between them. It describes the tribulations caused by the Dajjal, the calamities brought about by Gog and Magog, and their destruction at the hands of ‘Isa alayhis salam and through his supplications.
