حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، عَنْ
رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ
حُذَيْفَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ مِنْهُ مَعَهُ نَهْرَانِ يَجْرِيَانِ ، أَحَدُهُمَا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ مَاءٌ أَبْيَضُ ، وَالْآخَرُ رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ نَارٌ تَأَجَّجُ ، فَإِمَّا أَدْرَكَنَّ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَأْتِ النَّهْرَ الَّذِي يَرَاهُ نَارًا وَلْيُغَمِّضْ ، ثُمَّ لَيُطَأْطِئْ رَأْسَهُ ، فَيَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ ، وَإِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ عَلَيْهَا ظَفَرَةٌ غَلِيظَةٌ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ ، يَقْرَؤُهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ كَاتِبٍ وَغَيْرِ كَاتِبٍ " .
Hudhaifa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: the Dajjal would have with him water and fire and his fire would have the effect of cold water and his water would have the effect of fire, so don't put yourself to ruin. Abu Mas'ud reported: I also heard it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Dajjal is a supernatural personality, but he is not a fictional character; rather, he truly exists. He follows the Jewish religion and will appear at a specific appointed time.
➋ When the Dajjal appears, he will display such feats of magic that those with weak faith will be deceived and, accepting his claim, will make him their deity. A person with correct belief will not be deceived by him.
➌ His Paradise and Hell will also be a deception; therefore, a believer should not be frightened by his Hell, nor should he be enticed by his Paradise. Because those whom he throws into his Hell will find cool water, other blessings, and comfort therein, while those who enter his Paradise will become deserving of punishment from Allah.
