The Reality of the Messiah al-Dajjal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is the Messiah al-Dajjal from the offspring of Adam?
Yes, indeed, the Messiah al-Dajjal is from the offspring of Adam, without doubt.
The questioner: Is he present now?The Shaykh: But he is a wicked man, and it appears that he is not present. As for the hadith of al-Jusayyisah, there is something in it that gives me pause; it does not appear to me to be an authentic hadith due to the confusion in it and the anomaly in some of its wordings.
The questioner: But on the Day of Resurrection, is there anything reported about his fate on the Day of Resurrection?The Shaykh: Every disbeliever is in the Fire, and he is among the disbelievers, so the original ruling is that he is among the people of the Fire, because it is 'Isa (peace be upon him) who will kill him, as he is a disbeliever.
The questioner: We heard, O Shaykh, that some attribute to you the statement that he was present in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the story of Tamim al-Dari, and then you denied his existence with the hadith: (Have I not seen your night?) ?The Shaykh: No, no, we never said that.
The questioner himself: Is it not correct?The Shaykh: Yes, indeed, from the very beginning, we doubt the authenticity of the hadith of Tamim al-Dari regarding the story of al-Jusayyisah.
