The Shaykh : In this hadith there is a linguistic benefit that may be hidden from some people; namely, the occurrence of "or" in place of the conjunction "and." So his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) here:

or the smoke

أو الدخان

means: and the smoke,

or the Dajjal

أو الدَّجَّال

means: and the Dajjal, or the beast, and so on.
