Killing the Dajjal of a man and reviving him: reality or sorcery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question says, or rather, this questioner says: Imam Muslim mentioned from al-Nu'aym ibn Sam'an that the Dajjal
He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forwardيدعو رجلا ممتلئا شبابا فيضربه بالسيف فيقطعه جزلتين رمية الغرض ثم يدعوه فيقبل
Sahih Muslim 2937a
Is the killing here real killing, or does the Dajjal cast a spell over people's eyes?

Answer:
No, as we have told you before, it is all sorcery and lies; he makes it appear to people that way. Otherwise, Allah the Exalted
He it is who gives life and causes deathهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ
[Ghafir 40:68]
But sorcerers may make it appear to people that they stab themselves in the open, that they kill, and that they revive the dead. This is all sorcery and lies, a deception of people. Yes.
