حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، دخل حديث أحدهما في حديث الآخر ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلَابِيِّ، قَالَ : ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الدَّجَّالَ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ فَخَفَّضَ فِيهِ وَرَفَّعَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّاهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ ، قَالَ : فَانْصَرَفْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِينَا ، فَقَالَ : " مَا شَأْنُكُمْ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ذَكَرْتَ الدَّجَّالَ الْغَدَاةَ فَخَفَّضْتَ فِيهِ وَرَفَّعْتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّاهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ ، قَالَ : " غَيْرُ الدَّجَّالِ أَخْوَفُ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ دُونَكُمْ ، وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَلَسْتُ فِيكُمْ فَامْرُؤٌ حَجِيجُ نَفْسِهِ وَاللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ، إِنَّهُ شَابٌّ قَطَطٌ عَيْنُهُ طَافِئَةٌ ، شَبِيهٌ بِعَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قَطَنٍ ، فَمَنْ رَآهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَقْرَأْ فَوَاتِحَ سُورَةِ أَصْحَابِ الْكَهْفِ ، قَالَ : يَخْرُجُ مَا بَيْنَ الشَّامِ وَالْعِرَاقِ ، فَعَاثَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ، يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ، اثْبُتُوا " ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا لَبْثُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، يَوْمٌ كَسَنَةٍ ، وَيَوْمٌ كَشَهْرٍ ، وَيَوْمٌ كَجُمُعَةٍ ، وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ كَأَيَّامِكُمْ " ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي كَالسَّنَةِ أَتَكْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلَاةُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنْ اقْدُرُوا لَهُ " ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَا سُرْعَتُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ؟ قَالَ : " كَالْغَيْثِ اسْتَدْبَرَتْهُ الرِّيحُ ، فَيَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ فَيُكَذِّبُونَهُ وَيَرُدُّونَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ عَنْهُمْ ، فَتَتْبَعُهُ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَيُصْبِحُونَ لَيْسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ فَيَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُ وَيُصَدِّقُونَهُ ، فَيَأْمُرُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تُمْطِرَ فَتُمْطِرَ ، وَيَأْمُرُ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تُنْبِتَ فَتُنْبِتَ ، فَتَرُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَارِحَتُهُمْ كَأَطْوَلِ مَا كَانَتْ ذُرًى وَأَمَدِّهِ خَوَاصِرَ وَأَدَرِّهِ ضُرُوعًا ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْخَرِبَةَ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَهَا أَخْرِجِي كُنُوزَكِ ، فَيَنْصَرِفُ مِنْهَا فَتَتْبَعُهُ كَيَعَاسِيبِ النَّحْلِ ، ثُمَّ يَدْعُو رَجُلًا شَابًّا مُمْتَلِئًا شَبَابًا فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَيَقْطَعُهُ جِزْلَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ يَدْعُوهُ فَيُقْبِلُ يَتَهَلَّلُ وَجْهُهُ يَضْحَكُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ ، إِذْ هَبَطَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام بِشَرْقِيِّ دِمَشْقَ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ بَيْنَ مَهْرُودَتَيْنِ ، وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ مَلَكَيْنِ إِذَا طَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ قَطَرَ ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَهُ تَحَدَّرَ مِنْهُ جُمَّانٌ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ ، قَالَ : وَلَا يَجِدُ رِيحَ نَفْسِهِ يَعْنِي أَحَدًا إِلَّا مَاتَ وَرِيحُ نَفْسِهِ مُنْتَهَى بَصَرِهِ ، قَالَ : فَيَطْلُبُهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَهُ بِبَابِ لُدٍّ فَيَقْتُلَهُ ، قَالَ : فَيَلْبَثُ كَذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ حَرِّزْ عِبَادِي إِلَى الطُّورِ ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ عِبَادًا لِي لَا يَدَانِ لِأَحَدٍ بِقِتَالِهِمْ ، قَالَ : وَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ ، وَهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ : مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ سورة الأنبياء آية 96 ، قَالَ : فَيَمُرُّ أَوَّلُهُمْ بِبُحَيْرَةِ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ فَيَشْرَبُ مَا فِيهَا ، ثُمَّ يَمُرُّ بِهَا آخِرُهُمْ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَقَدْ كَانَ بِهَذِهِ مَرَّةً مَاءٌ ثُمَّ يَسِيرُونَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسٍ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : لَقَدْ قَتَلْنَا مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ هَلُمَّ ، فَلْنَقْتُلْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَرْمُونَ بِنُشَّابِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَيَرُدُّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ نُشَّابَهُمْ مُحْمَرًّا دَمًا ، وَيُحَاصَرُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ رَأْسُ الثَّوْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرًا لِأَحَدِهِمْ مِنْ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ لِأَحَدِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ ، قَالَ : فَيَرْغَبُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، قَالَ : فَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّغَفَ فِي رِقَابِهِمْ فَيُصْبِحُونَ فَرْسَى مَوْتَى كَمَوْتِ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ، قَالَ : وَيَهْبِطُ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، فَلَا يَجِدُ مَوْضِعَ شِبْرٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ مَلَأَتْهُ زَهَمَتُهُمْ وَنَتَنُهُمْ وَدِمَاؤُهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَيَرْغَبُ عِيسَى إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، قَالَ : فَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا كَأَعْنَاقِ الْبُخْتِ ، قَالَ : فَتَحْمِلُهُمْ ، فَتَطْرَحُهُمْ بِالْمَهْبِلِ ، وَيَسْتَوْقِدُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ قِسِيِّهِمْ وَنُشَّابِهِمْ وَجِعَابِهِمْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ، قَالَ : وَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا لَا يَكُنُّ مِنْهُ بَيْتُ وَبَرٍ وَلَا مَدَرٍ ، قَالَ : فَيَغْسِلُ الْأَرْضَ فَيَتْرُكُهَا كَالزَّلَفَةِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِلْأَرْضِ : أَخْرِجِي ثَمَرَتَكِ وَرُدِّي بَرَكَتَكِ ، فَيَوْمَئِذٍ تَأْكُلُ الْعِصَابَةُ مِنَ الرُّمَّانَةِ ، وَيَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِقَحْفِهَا ، وَيُبَارَكُ فِي الرِّسْلِ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الْفِئَامَ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَيَكْتَفُونَ باللَّقْحَةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ ، وَإِنَّ الْقَبِيلَةَ لَيَكْتَفُونَ باللَّقْحَةِ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ ، وَإِنَّ الْفَخِذَ لَيَكْتَفُونَ باللَّقْحَةِ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رِيحًا فَقَبَضَتْ رُوحَ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ ، وَيَبْقَى سَائِرُ النَّاسِ يَتَهَارَجُونَ كَمَا تَتَهَارَجُ الْحُمُرُ فَعَلَيْهِمْ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ .
´It was narrated from An-Nawwas bin Sam'an, who said:` "The Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) mentioned the Dajjal one morning, he belittled him and mentioned his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of date-palms." He said: "We departed from the presence of the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w), then we returned to him, and he noticed that(concern) in us. So he said: 'What is wrong with you?'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! You mentioned the Dajjal this morning, belittling him, and mentioning his importance until we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of the date-palms.' He said: 'It is not the Dajjal that I fear for you. If he were to appear while I am among you, then I will be his adversary on your behalf. And if he appears and I am not among you, then each man will have to fend for himself. And Allah will take care of every Muslim after me. He is young, with curly hair, his eyes protruding, resembling someone from 'Abdul-Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, then let him recite the beginning of Surah Ashab Al-Kahf.'"He said: 'He will appear from what is between Ash-Sham and Al-'Iraq, causing devastation toward the right and toward the left. O worshippers of Allah! Hold fast!'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How long will he linger on the earth?' He said: 'Forty days, a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the remainder of his days are like your days.'" We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Do you think that during the day that is like a year, the Salat of one day will be sufficient for us?' He said: 'No. You will have to estimate it.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How fast will he move through the earth.' He said: 'Like a rain storm driven by the wind. He will come upon a people and call them, and they will deny him, and reject his claims. Then he will leave them, and their wealth will follow him. They will awaken in the morning with nothing left. Then he will come upon a people and call them, and they will respond to him, believing in him. So he will order the Heavens to bring rain, and it shall rain, and he will order the land to sprout, and it will sprout. Their cattle will return to them with their coats the longest, their udders the fullest and their stomachs the fattest.' He said: 'Then he will come upon some ruins, saying to it: "Bring me your treasures!" He will turn to leave it, and it will follow him, like drone bees. Then he will call a young man, full of youth, and he will strike him with the sword cutting him into two pieces. Then he will call him, and he will come forward with his face beaming and laughing. So while he is doing that, 'Eisa bin Mariam, peace be upon him, will descend in eastern Damascus at the white minaret, between two Mahrud, with his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall, and when raises it, gems like pearls drop from him.' He said: 'His (the Dajjal's) breath does not reach anyone but he dies, and his breath reaches as far as his sight.' He said: 'So he pursues him(the Dajjal) and he catches up with him at the gate of Ludd where he kills him.' He said: 'So he remains there as long as Allah wills.' He said: 'Then Allah reveals to him: "Take my slaves to At-Tur, for I have sent down some creatures of Mine which no one shall be able to kill.'" He said: 'Allah dispatches Ya'juj and Ma'juj, and they are as Allah said: They swoop down from every mount.' "He said: 'The first of them pass by the lake of Tiberias, drinking what is in it. Then the last of them pass by it saying: "There was water here at one time." They travel until they reach a mountain at Bait Al-Maqdis. They will say: "We have killed whoever was in the earth. Come! Let us kill whoever is in the skies." They will shoot their arrows into the Heavens, so Allah will return their arrows to them red with blood. Eisa bin Mariam and his Companions be surrounded, until the head of a bull on that day would be better to them than a hundred Dinar to one of you today.' "He (s.a.w) said: "Eisa will beseech Allah, as will his companions.' He said: 'So Allah will send An-Naghaf down upon their necks. In the morning they will find that they have all died like the death of a single soul.' He said: " 'Eisa and his companions will come down, and no spot nor hand-span can be found, except that it is filled with their stench, decay and blood. So 'Eisa will beseech Allah, as will his companions.' So Allah will send upon them birds like the necks of Bukht(milch)camels.' They will carry them off and cast them into an abyss. The Muslims will burn their bows, arrows and quivers for seventy years.' "He(s.a.w) said: 'Allah will send upon them a rain which no house of hide nor mud will bear. The earth will be washed, leaving it like a mirror. Then it will be said to the earth: "bring forth your fruits and return your blessings." So on that day, a whole troop would eat a pomegranate and seek shade under its skin. Milk will be so blessed that a large group of people will be sufficed by one milking of a camel. And that a tribe will be sufficed by one milking of a cow, and that a group will be sufficed by the milking of sheep. While it is like that, Allah will send a wind which grabs the soul of every believer, leaving the remainder of the people copulating publicly like the copulation of donkeys. Upon them the Hour shall begin.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎ : There are two opinions regarding the meaning and purport of «فخض فيه ورفع»: one is that it is in the sense of «خفض», «حقر», meaning that he is despicable and insignificant in the sight of Allah, 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 weak, and thereafter he and his followers and supporters will be killed. And the meaning of «رفع» 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 nation against 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 he could rest during the conversation, 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؎ : Lud: It is a city near Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). In al-Nihayah fi Gharib al-Hadith, it is stated that Lud 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 small.

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; 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.

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.

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.

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.
