اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ قَدْ أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ الدَّجَّالَ ، أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَكَلَ الطَّعَامَ ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي عَاهِدٌ إِلَيْكُمْ فِيهِ عَهْدًا لَمْ يَعْهَدْهُ نَبِيٌّ إِلَى أُمَّتِهِ ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ عَيْنَهُ الْيُمْنَى مَمْسُوحَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا نُخَاعَةٌ فِي جَانِبِ حَائِطٍ ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ عَيْنَهُ الْيُسْرَى كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ ، مَعَهُ مِثْلُ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، فَالنَّارُ رَوْضَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ ، وَالْجَنَّةُ غَبْرَاءُ ذَاتُ دُخَانٍ ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ يُنْذِرَانِ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى ، كُلَّمَا دَخَلَا قَرْيَةً أَنْذَرَا أَهْلَهَا ، فَإِذَا خَرَجَا مِنْهُ دَخَلَ أَوَّلُ أَصْحَابِ الدَّجَّالِ ، فَيَدْخُلُ الْقُرَى كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، حُرِّمَتَا عَلَيْهِ ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، فَيَجْمَعُهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ، فَيَقُولُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : وَاللهِ لَأَنْطَلِقَنَّ فَلَأَنْظُرَنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي أَنْذَرَنَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ : إِنَّا لَا نَدَعُكَ تَأْتِيهِ ، وَلَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ لَخَلَّيْنَا سَبِيلَكَ ، وَلَكِنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكَ فَتَتَّبِعَهُ ، فَيَأْبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ ، فَيَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَى أَدْنَى مَسْلَحَةٍ مِنْ مَسَالِحِهِ أَخَذُوهُ ، فَسَأَلُوهُ : مَا شَأْنُهُ ؟ وَأَيْنَ يُرِيدُ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : أُرِيدُ الدَّجَّالَ الْكَذَّابَ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : أَنْتَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَيَكْتُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ : إِنَّا أَخَذْنَا رَجُلًا يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَنَقْتُلُهُ ، أَمْ نَبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : أَرْسِلُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عَرَفَهُ بِنَعْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَنْتَ الدَّجَّالُ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي أَنْذَرَنَا مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الدَّجَّالُ : أَنْتَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ؟ لَتُطِيعَنِّي فِيمَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ ، أَوْ لَأَشُقَّنَّكَ شَقَّتَيْنِ ، فَيُنَادِي الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي النَّاسِ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الْكَذَّابُ ، فَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ فَمَدَّ رِجْلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِحَدِيدَةٍ ، فَوُضِعَتْ عَلَى عَجْبِ ذَنَبِهِ ، فَشَقَّهُ شَقَّتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الدَّجَّالُ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ : أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَحْيَيْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا ، أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَبُّكُمْ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : نَعَمْ ، فَيَأْخُذُ عَصًا فَيَضْرِبُ بِهَا إِحْدَى شِقَّيْهِ أَوِ الصَّعِيدَ ، فَاسْتَوَى قَائِمًا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ صَدَّقُوهُ ، وَأَحَبُّوهُ وَأَيْقَنُوا بِهِ أَنَّهُ رَبُّهُمْ وَاتَّبَعُوهُ ، فَيَقُولُ الدَّجَّالُ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ : أَلَا تُؤْمِنُ بِي ؟ فَقَالَ : أَنَا الْآنَ أَشَدُّ بَصِيرَةً فِيكَ مِنِّي ، ثُمَّ نَادَى فِي النَّاسِ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الْكَذَّابُ ، مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَمَنْ عَصَاهُ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، فَقَالَ الدَّجَّالُ : لَتُطِيعَنِّي أَوْ لَأَذْبَحَنَّكَ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ لَا أُطِيعُكَ أَبَدًا ، إِنَّكَ لَأَنْتَ الْكَذَّابُ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ ، فَأُضْجِعَ وَأَمَرَ بِذَبْحِهِ فَلَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ ، لَا يُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ، فَأُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَهِيَ غَيْرُ ذَاتِ دُخَانٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَقْرَبُ أُمَّتِي مِنِّي ، وَأَرْفَعُهُمْ دَرَجَةً ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قُلْتُ : فَكَيْفَ يَهْلِكُ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ أَعْلَمُ .
قُلْتُ : إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ هُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ أَعْلَمُ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى مُهْلِكُهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ ؟ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَغْرِسُونَ بَعْدَهُ الْغُرُوسَ ، وَيَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ الْأَمْوَالَ ، قُلْتُ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَبْعَدَ الدَّجَّالِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَيَمْكُثُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثُوا ، ثُمَّ يُفْتَحُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ ، فَيُهْلِكُونَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بِحِصْنٍ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، فَقَالُوا : إِنَّمَا بَقِيَ مَنْ فِي الْحُصُونِ وَمَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَرْمُونَ بِسِهَامِهِمْ ، فَخَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ مُتَغَيِّرَةً دَمًا ، فَقَالُوا : قَدِ اسْتَرَحْتُمْ مِمَّنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، وَبَقِيَ مَنْ فِي الْحُصُونِ ، فَحَاصَرُوهُمْ حَتَّى اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحَصَرُ وَالْبَلَاءُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَرْسَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ نَغَفًا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ، فَقَصَمَتْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ ، فَمَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مَوْتَى ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : قَتَلَهُمُ رَبُّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا مُخَادَعَةً ، فَنَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيُهْلِكُونَا كَمَا أَهْلَكُوا إِخْوَانَنَا ، فَقَالَ : افْتَحُوا لِيَ الْبَابَ ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ : لَا نَفْتَحُ ، فَقَالَ : دَلُّونِي بِحَبْلٍ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ وَجَدَهُمْ مَوْتَى ، فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ .
فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُمْ حَيَاةً يَقْتَضِمُونَهَا ، مَا يَجِدُونَ غَيْرَهَا ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَغْرِسُونَ بَعْدَهُمُ الْغُرُوسَ ، وَيَتَّخِذُونَ الْأَمْوَالَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَبَعْدَ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ فِي تِجَارَاتِهِمْ إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ : أَتَى أَمْرُ اللهِ ، فَفَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا الدَّعْوَةَ ، وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى تِجَارَتِهِمْ وَأَسْوَاقِهِمْ وَصِنَاعَتِهِمْ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ نُودُوا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَتَى أَمْرُ اللهِ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا نَحْوَ الدَّعْوَةِ الَّتِي سَمِعُوا ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَفِرُّ مِنْ غَنَمِهِ وَسِلْعِهِ قِبَلَ الدَّعْوَةِ ، إِذْ لَقُوا اللهَ ، وَذُهِلُوا فِي مَوَاشِيهِمْ ، وَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ عُطِّلَتِ الْعِشَارُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ يَسْعَوْنَ قِبَلَ الدَّعْوَةِ ، إِذْ لَقُوا اللهَ تَعَالَى فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمَامِ ، وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلا مَنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ، فَمَكَثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ ، ثُمَّ تَجِيءُ جَهَنَّمُ لَهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ ، ثُمَّ يُنَادَى ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ .
وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ أَصْحَابُ السُّنَنِ مِنْهُ قِصَّةَ الشَّفَاعَةِ ، وَقِصَّةَ بَعْثِ النَّارِ ، وَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ ، وَفِي سِيَاقِ هَذَا بَعْضُ مُخَالَفَةٍ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيحِ أَصَحُّ ، وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ .
قُلْتُ : إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ هُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ أَعْلَمُ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى مُهْلِكُهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ ؟ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَغْرِسُونَ بَعْدَهُ الْغُرُوسَ ، وَيَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ الْأَمْوَالَ ، قُلْتُ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَبْعَدَ الدَّجَّالِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَيَمْكُثُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثُوا ، ثُمَّ يُفْتَحُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ ، فَيُهْلِكُونَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بِحِصْنٍ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، فَقَالُوا : إِنَّمَا بَقِيَ مَنْ فِي الْحُصُونِ وَمَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَرْمُونَ بِسِهَامِهِمْ ، فَخَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ مُتَغَيِّرَةً دَمًا ، فَقَالُوا : قَدِ اسْتَرَحْتُمْ مِمَّنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، وَبَقِيَ مَنْ فِي الْحُصُونِ ، فَحَاصَرُوهُمْ حَتَّى اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحَصَرُ وَالْبَلَاءُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَرْسَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ نَغَفًا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ، فَقَصَمَتْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ ، فَمَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مَوْتَى ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : قَتَلَهُمُ رَبُّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا مُخَادَعَةً ، فَنَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيُهْلِكُونَا كَمَا أَهْلَكُوا إِخْوَانَنَا ، فَقَالَ : افْتَحُوا لِيَ الْبَابَ ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ : لَا نَفْتَحُ ، فَقَالَ : دَلُّونِي بِحَبْلٍ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ وَجَدَهُمْ مَوْتَى ، فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was asked about the Dajjal, and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed every prophet warned his people of the trial of the Dajjal. Beware! He has already eaten food. And indeed I am going to tell you something about him which no prophet told his Ummah. Take heed! His right eye will be completely flat and sightless, as if it were a mark of phlegm on the corner of a wall, and his left eye will be like a star shining like a pearl. He will have with him the likes of Paradise and Hell; so (what he calls fire) will in reality be a green garden, and what he calls Paradise will be a dusty place full of smoke. Before him there will be two men who will warn the inhabitants of the towns; whichever town they enter, they will warn its people (of the trial of the Dajjal), and when they leave it, the vanguard of the Dajjal's companions will enter. He will enter all the towns except Makkah and Madinah, because these two cities have been made forbidden to him. At that time the believers will be scattered in the earth, and Allah Almighty will gather them in one place. A man among them will say: By Allah! I will certainly go so that I may see this one of whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) warned us. His companions will say: We will not let you go there; if we knew that he would not put you to trial, we would not block your way, but we fear that he may put you to the test and you end up following him. But he will insist on going, so he will set off until, when he reaches the nearest of the Dajjal's outposts, the guards will seize him and ask: What is your business, and where do you intend to go? He will say: I want to go to this lying Dajjal. They will say: Do you call him a liar? Then they will write to the Dajjal: We have seized a man who is saying such-and-such things; shall we kill him or send him to you? He will say: Send him to me. So they will take him to the Dajjal. When that believer sees him, he will recognise him by the signs described by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and will say: You are the lying Dajjal of whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) warned us. The Dajjal will say to him: Is it you who says these things? Now either you obey me in what I command you, or else I will cut you into two pieces. That believing servant will call out among the people: O people! This is the lying Messiah. The Dajjal will order him to be laid down, then send for an iron saw, place it on the lower end of his spine and split him into two parts. Then the Dajjal will say to his followers: What do you think, if I bring him back to life, will you not be certain that I am your Lord? They will say: Yes! Then he will take a staff and strike one of his two pieces, or the ground, with it, and the man will stand up again, whole and sound. When his followers see this, they will affirm him, take him as their lord and become devoted to him. Then the Dajjal will say to that believing servant: Do you still not believe in me? He will say: Now my insight about you has become even firmer than before. Then he will call out among the people: O people! This is the lying Messiah; whoever obeys him will go into the Fire, and whoever disobeys him will enter Paradise. The Dajjal will say: Obey me, or else I will slaughter you. He will say: By Allah! I will never obey you; you are the liar. The Dajjal will order him to be laid down and slaughtered, but he will not be able to slaughter him, because he was given power over him only once. Then he will seize him by his hands and feet and throw him into that fire which will be without smoke (a garden)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that that man will be the closest of my Ummah to me and the highest of them in rank. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked: Then how will the Dajjal be destroyed? He said: Allah knows best.
I said: Will Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him) destroy him? Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah knows best, except that Allah Almighty is going to destroy him and those with him. I asked: What will happen after him? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that after him the people will plant trees and gather wealth. I said in amazement: Subhan Allah! Will this happen even after the Dajjal? He said: Yes! They will remain in the earth for as long as Allah wills, then Gog and Magog will be let loose, and they will destroy all the people on the earth except those who take refuge in fortresses. When they have finished with the people of the earth, they will turn to one another and say: Now only those remain who are in the fortresses or in the heaven. Then they will shoot their arrows towards the heaven, and they will fall back stained with blood. They will say: You have rid yourselves even of those in the heaven; now only those in the fortresses remain. They will besiege them until the hardship and trial upon the besieged become severe. Meanwhile Allah Almighty will create worms in the necks of them (Gog and Magog) which will break their necks, and they will fall dead upon one another in heaps. A man (from the fortress) will call out: By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Allah has killed them. The people will say: They are doing this to deceive us; if we go out, they will destroy us too as they did our brothers. That man will say: Open the gate for me. His companions will refuse, so he will say: Lower me down with a rope. When he descends, he will find them dead, and then the people will come out of the fortresses.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that Allah Almighty will make the bodies of Gog and Magog food for their livestock, which they will graze on, and they will find nothing besides it. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that after that the people will plant orchards and gather wealth. I said: Subhan Allah! Even after Gog and Magog? He said: Yes! So they will be busy in their trade when suddenly a caller will call out from the heaven: The command of Allah (the Hour) has come! The people of the earth will be alarmed on hearing this call and will turn to one another, then they will again get busy with their trade, markets and work. Meanwhile they will be called once more: O people! The command of Allah has come! So they will set off towards that call, and a man will leave his sheep, goats and merchandise and run in the direction of that voice, until they meet Allah and become heedless of their livestock. At that time it will be the matter of "And when the she-camels ten months pregnant are abandoned" [Surah al-Takwir: 4]. They will be running towards that call when suddenly they will be presented before Allah Almighty in the state of "in canopies of clouds (the punishment or decision of Allah will come)" [Surah al-Baqarah: 210], and the Trumpet will be blown, so "whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall unconscious (or perish), except whom Allah wills" [Surah al-Zumar: 68]. Then they will remain in that state for as long as Allah wills, then the Trumpet will be blown again, and suddenly they will be standing, looking on. Then Hell will be brought, from which the sounds of its roaring and boiling will be coming. Then a call will be made, and he mentioned the long hadith further.
The story of the intercession and the story of those sent to Hell from this hadith were also narrated by the compilers of the Sunan; however, there is some divergence in this wording, and what is in the two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) is more correct, and success is only from Allah.
I said: Will Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him) destroy him? Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah knows best, except that Allah Almighty is going to destroy him and those with him. I asked: What will happen after him? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that after him the people will plant trees and gather wealth. I said in amazement: Subhan Allah! Will this happen even after the Dajjal? He said: Yes! They will remain in the earth for as long as Allah wills, then Gog and Magog will be let loose, and they will destroy all the people on the earth except those who take refuge in fortresses. When they have finished with the people of the earth, they will turn to one another and say: Now only those remain who are in the fortresses or in the heaven. Then they will shoot their arrows towards the heaven, and they will fall back stained with blood. They will say: You have rid yourselves even of those in the heaven; now only those in the fortresses remain. They will besiege them until the hardship and trial upon the besieged become severe. Meanwhile Allah Almighty will create worms in the necks of them (Gog and Magog) which will break their necks, and they will fall dead upon one another in heaps. A man (from the fortress) will call out: By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Allah has killed them. The people will say: They are doing this to deceive us; if we go out, they will destroy us too as they did our brothers. That man will say: Open the gate for me. His companions will refuse, so he will say: Lower me down with a rope. When he descends, he will find them dead, and then the people will come out of the fortresses.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that Allah Almighty will make the bodies of Gog and Magog food for their livestock, which they will graze on, and they will find nothing besides it. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that after that the people will plant orchards and gather wealth. I said: Subhan Allah! Even after Gog and Magog? He said: Yes! So they will be busy in their trade when suddenly a caller will call out from the heaven: The command of Allah (the Hour) has come! The people of the earth will be alarmed on hearing this call and will turn to one another, then they will again get busy with their trade, markets and work. Meanwhile they will be called once more: O people! The command of Allah has come! So they will set off towards that call, and a man will leave his sheep, goats and merchandise and run in the direction of that voice, until they meet Allah and become heedless of their livestock. At that time it will be the matter of "And when the she-camels ten months pregnant are abandoned" [Surah al-Takwir: 4]. They will be running towards that call when suddenly they will be presented before Allah Almighty in the state of "in canopies of clouds (the punishment or decision of Allah will come)" [Surah al-Baqarah: 210], and the Trumpet will be blown, so "whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall unconscious (or perish), except whom Allah wills" [Surah al-Zumar: 68]. Then they will remain in that state for as long as Allah wills, then the Trumpet will be blown again, and suddenly they will be standing, looking on. Then Hell will be brought, from which the sounds of its roaring and boiling will be coming. Then a call will be made, and he mentioned the long hadith further.
