The Shaykh : As for the characteristic that follows the Smoke, which is the Dajjal, the reality is that the hadiths about the Dajjal are numerous and very numerous; they have reached the level of mass transmission (mutawatir). In every hadith, or in many of these hadiths, there are characteristics and details concerning the Dajjal other than the characteristics and details mentioned in other hadiths. The sum of these hadiths leads the researcher to certainty that this Dajjal is a human being from the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that he has marvels and supernatural occurrences by which people are tested—not all people, but only those who do not have strong faith and correct knowledge in their hearts... After seeing him, did you believe? He said: I have only increased in faith that you are the Great Dajjal about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says in this hadith that he is not able to be unleashed upon them again, and that is to show his inability in his claim of lordship; so this is among the characteristics of the Dajjal related to his marvels.
But among his physical characteristics that are shameful and defective, and which do not befit the Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He), is that he is one-eyed. The narrations differed in specifying whether it is the right or the left eye, but they all agreed that he is one-eyed. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Companions while describing this Dajjal to them:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2245Sahih (Darussalam), and he further alerts the believer that this Dajjal is impossible to be the Lord; he (peace be upon him) said: . How can your Lord be this when you see him, and none of you will see his Lord until he dies, then you see him one-eyed?! And this is a defect and an imperfection, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has all attributes of perfection. And among what is related to the Dajjal as a description of him is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forbidden him Makkah and al-Madinah; so he will not be able to enter them. All these characteristics give one who looks into them the understanding that he is a created being.
But among his physical characteristics that are shameful and defective, and which do not befit the Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He), is that he is one-eyed. The narrations differed in specifying whether it is the right or the left eye, but they all agreed that he is one-eyed. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Companions while describing this Dajjal to them:
He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not blind in one eye
إنه أعور ، وإن ربَّكم ليس بأعورAnd none of you will see his Lord until he dies.
وإن أحدكم لن يرى ربَّه حتى يموت
