The Death of the Dajjal and His Army
عن نافع بن عتبة رضى الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : تغرون جزيرة العرب فيفتحها الله ، ثم فارس فيفتحها الله ثم تغزون الروم فيفتحها الله ثم تغرون الدجال فيفتحه الله، قال نافع : يا جابر لا نرى الدجال يخرج حتى تفتح الروم
It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi bin Utbah (RA) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: You (Muslims) will fight the Arabs and Allah will grant you victory, then you will fight Persia (Iran) and Allah will grant you victory, then you will fight the Romans and Allah will grant you victory, then you will fight the Dajjal and Allah will grant you victory over him. Hazrat Nafi (RA) said: O Jabir! In our opinion, the Dajjal cannot appear before the conquest of Rome.

عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ينزل الدجال فى هذه السبخة بمرقناة فيكون أكثر من يخرج إليه النساء حتى إن الرجل ليرجع إلى حميمه وإلى أمه وابنته وأخته وعمته فيوثقها رباطا مخافة أن تخرج إليه ثم يسلط الله المسلمين عليه فيقتلونه ويقتلون شيعته حتى إن اليهودي ليختبئ تحت الشجرة أو الحجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجرة للمسلم : هذا يهودي تحتي فاقتله
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: The Dajjal will encamp on the marshy land of Marqana (a valley near Medina), and the majority of women will go to him. A man will go to his close relatives, mother, daughter, sister, and paternal aunt and tie them with a rope so that they do not go to the Dajjal. Then Allah will enable the Muslims to overpower the Dajjal, and the Muslims will kill the Dajjal and his army. Even if a Jew hides behind a tree or stone, the tree or stone will call out to the Muslim, saying, "O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me; kill him."

عن أبى هريرة رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : لا تقوم الساعة حتى يقاتل المسلمون اليهود فيقتلهم المسلمون حتى يختبئ اليهودي من وراء الحجر أو الشجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجر : يا مسلم ! يا عبد الله هذا يهودي خلفي فتعال فاقتله إلا الغرقد فإنه من شجر اليهود
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: The Hour will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. If a Jew hides behind a tree or stone, the tree or stone will call out, "O Muslim! O servant of Allah! Come here, there is a Jew behind me; kill him," except for the Gharqad tree, because it is the tree of the Jews.

عن ابن مسعود رضى الله عنه جاءهم الصريخ أن الدجال قد خلف فى ذراريهم فيرفضون ما فى أيديهم ويقبلون فيبعثون عشرة فوارس طليعة، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إني لأعلم أسماءهم وأسماء آبائهم وألوان خيولهم وهم خير فوارس على ظهر الأرض يومئذ
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) said that the Muslims will have a bloody war with the Romans and will achieve victory. While they are distributing the spoils of war, a herald (one who shouts loudly) will come and say that the Dajjal has appeared among their families. They will immediately leave everything and head towards him, sending ten horsemen to gather information. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: I know the names of these horsemen, their ancestors' names, and the colors of their horses very well, and they will be the best horsemen on the face of the earth on that day.

عن ابن مسعود رضى الله عنه عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : لقيت ليلة أسري بي إبراهيم وموسى وعيسى ، قال : فتذاكروا أمر الساعة فردوا أمرهم إلى إبراهيم ، فقال : لا علم لي بها ، فردوا الأمر إلى موسى فقال : لا علم لي بها فردوا الأمر إلى عيسى فقال : أما وجبتها فلا يعلمها أحد إلا الله ، ذلك فيما عهد إلى ربي عز وجل ، أن الدجال خارج، قال : ومعي قضيبان فإذا رآني ذاب كما يذوب الرصاص قال : فيهلكه الله عز وجل حتى إن الحجر والشجر ليقول : يا مسلم ! إن تحتي كافرا فتعال فاقتله قال : فيهلكهم الله
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: On the night of Mi'raj, I met Hazrat Ibrahim, Musa, and Isa (peace be upon them), and the topic of the Hour came up. Everyone referred the matter to Hazrat Ibrahim (AS), who said he did not know when it would occur. Then the matter was referred to Hazrat Musa (AS), who also expressed ignorance. Then it was referred to Hazrat Isa (AS), who said that no one knows the exact time of the Hour except Allah. However, Allah has promised me that the Dajjal will appear, and I will have two staffs. When he sees me, he will melt away like lead melts. Allah will destroy him, and even the trees and stones will call out that there is a disbeliever under me; come and kill him. Thus, Allah will destroy them all.

The Place of the Murder of the Accursed Dajjal
عن النواس بن سمعان رضى الله عنه قال ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الدجال ذات غداة إنه شاب قطط ، عينه طافئة، كأني أشبهه بعبد العزى بن قطن ، فمن أدركه منكم فليقرأ عليه فواتح سورة الكهف فيأتي على القوم فيدعوهم فيؤمنون به فيستجيبون له فيأمر السماء فتمطر والأرض فتنبت وتخرج كنوزها فتتبعه كنوزها كيعاسيب النحل ثم يدعو رجلا ممتلئا شبابا فيضربه بالسيف فيقطعه جزلتين رمية الغرض ثم يدعوه فيقبل ويتهلل وجهه ويضحك فبينما هو كذلك إذ بعث الله المسيح ابن مريم عليه السلام .... فلا يحل لكافر يجد ريح نفسه إلا مات ونفسه ينتهي حيث ينتهي طرفه فيطلبه حتى يدركه بباب لد فيقتله
It is narrated from Hazrat Nawas bin Samaan (RA) that one morning the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) mentioned the Dajjal. He is a young man with curly hair, and his eye is protruding. I could say he resembles Abdul Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you encounters him should recite the opening verses of Surah Al-Kahf over him. The Dajjal will come to a nation and invite them to believe in him. If they believe in him, he will command the sky to send down rain, and it will rain. Then he will command the earth to produce vegetation, and it will do so. He will command a barren land to bring forth its treasures, and those treasures will come out and follow him just as bees follow their master. Then he will call a strong young man and kill him by cutting him into two pieces with a sword. Then he will call him, and he will come back to life, turning towards him with a radiant face and smiling. At that moment, Allah Almighty will send down Hazrat Isa (AS). Whoever the breath of Hazrat Isa reaches among the disbelievers will perish, and his breath will reach as far as his sight reaches. He will search for the Dajjal and kill him at the place called Lydda.
