Adapted from: Fatāwā Shaykh al-Ḥadīth Mubārakpūrī, Vol. 1, Page 145
Please explain the reality of the emergence of Dajjāl and the descent of ʿĪsā (عليه السلام) in the final era.
الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام علىٰ رسول الله، أما بعد!
– The actual emergence of Dajjāl in the end times and the descent of ʿĪsā (عليه السلام) are both events that have been transmitted with absolute certainty through mutawātir (mass-transmitted) narrations.
– For this reason, both of these matters are included in the beliefs (‘Aqā’id) of Islam, and are mentioned in books of creed.
– However, the details related to Dajjāl—the specifics of his attributes, appearance, and events—have been transmitted through āḥād (solitary) reports, and therefore, these details do not reach the level of mutawātir.
– Within these details, some differences and variations also exist.
– The well-known narration about Dajjāl reported by Tameem al-Dāri through Fāṭimah bint Qays and recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim and other sources,
– I have not come across any comprehensive scholarly explanation of this hadith in any classical or contemporary work.
– Similarly, neither early nor later scholars seem to have conducted a detailed analysis on this narration that I have personally encountered.
– The narrations concerning the Signs of the Hour (Ashrāṭ al-Sāʿah) that have been compiled in independent books,
– These compilations have mostly focused on gathering the narrations, without deep analytical commentary.
– I am also unaware of what Tajallīwāla (the scholar) may have written regarding the hadith of Tameem al-Dāri.
