Will the Dajjal be a human?
عن عبادة بن الصامت رضى الله عنه أنه حدثهم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : إنى قد حدثتكم عن الدجال حتى خشيت أن لا تعقلوا أن مسيح الدجال رجل قصير أفحج جعد أعور مطموس العين ليس بناتئة ولا جحراء فإن ألبس عليكم فاعلموا أن ربكم ليس بأعور
It is narrated from Hazrat Ubada bin Samit (RA) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: I have informed you about the Dajjal, and I fear that you will not recognize him. The false Messiah (Dajjal) will be a short man, with curly hair, one eye blind and dusty, neither very protruding nor very sunken. Still, if you have any doubt about him, then know well that your Lord is not blind.
Hazrat Fatima bint Qais (RA) says (in a long hadith mentioned later) that: I am the spy of the Dajjal. You should go towards that desolate place where a man is eagerly awaiting your news. They all went there and said that we saw such a tall man, but we had never seen a man so bound (with iron chains) before.
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RA) says that Ibn Sayyad said: I know well about the Dajjal, his birthplace, residence, and his parents, and where all these are.
