Does the hadith (There is no matter between my sending and the Hour greater than the Dajjal) imply that this matter is the European civilization that the Muslims have become swept up in?

The questioner : Our Shaykh, there is a hadith in "Sahih Muslim" where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: or as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Riyad as-Salihin 1814.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Could this matter mean the interpretations of some scholars who travel around the countries, that it is the European civilization that dazzled the Muslims and they followed it until they became as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, as I mentioned earlier in the hadith of the Dajjal, that it is known, written on his forehead is "disbeliever," and he is one-eyed, yet they follow him? And the disbelieving civilization exists now, and the Muslims are following it. Perhaps, with the science and technology it has reached, it has dazzled the minds with satellites and such, until people were amazed by it and became, so to speak, submitting to the West and to Europe with everything it says. Is it possible that this is the case, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible to interpret the hadiths and apply them to Europe, its deception, and its industry; because the one who reads the hadiths reported about the Dajjal is certain that he is a human being.
The questioner : Greater than the Dajjal, our Shaykh. The hadith in Muslim:Riyad as-Salihin 1814 a trial greater than the Dajjal.
The Shaykh : That is not our topic here now. Our topic is whether the Dajjal is a physical person or a conceptual one.
The questioner : No, it is known that he is physical, a man who emerges from the East.
The Shaykh : So, it is not permissible to apply the hadiths reported about the Dajjal to Europe.
The questioner : The trial that is greater, our Shaykh.
Another questioner : If you please, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : "Between" is understood as "ma" being a relative particle.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Whereas here, it is a negation.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So if it is a negation, the issue ends for him, meaning he thinks that there is a trial greater than the Dajjal.
Another questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Ah, now I noticed. Okay, and the hadith is the one that says: This is a negation, so the Dajjal is the greatest trial.
The questioner : The hadith isSahih Muslim 2946a, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes,.
The questioner : .
The Shaykh :Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38:359 meaning there is not.
The questioner : The interpretation of the hadith, our Shaykh, by Allah.
The Shaykh : There is no trial between the first time, the creation of Adam, and the end of the world that is greater than the trial of the Dajjal.
Between my sending and the Hour
ما بين بعثتي إلى قيام الساعةnothing greater than the mischief of Dajjal (the Antichrist)
أمرٌ أكبَرُ من الدجالThe Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Greater than the Dajjal, our Shaykh. The hadith in Muslim:
Between time of the creation of Adam and the Resurrection Day, there is nothing greater than the mischief of Dajjal (the Antichrist).
ما بين بعثتي إلى قيام الساعة أمر أكبر من الدجالThe Shaykh : That is not our topic here now. Our topic is whether the Dajjal is a physical person or a conceptual one.
The questioner : No, it is known that he is physical, a man who emerges from the East.
The Shaykh : So, it is not permissible to apply the hadiths reported about the Dajjal to Europe.

right from the creation of Adam
