An-Nawwas b. Sam`a.n told that God's messenger mentioned the dajjal saying, "If he comes forth while I am among you I shall be the one who will dispute with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth when I am not among you a man must dispute on his own behalf, and God will take my place in looking after every Muslim. He will be a youth with curly hair and a floating eye whom I might compare to `Abd al- `Uzza b. Qatan.
ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الدجال فقال: إن يخرج وأنا فيكم فأنا حجيجه دونكم وإن يخرج ولست فيكم فامرؤ حجيج نفسه والله خليفتي على كل مسلم إنه شاب قَطط عينه طافيه كأني أشبهه بعبد العزى بن قطن ..The Shaykh : al-'Uzza
The reader:
whom I might compare to `Abd al- `Uzza b. Qatan. Those of you who live till his time should recite over him the opening verses of sura al-Kahf [1] (a version having `should recite over him the opening verses of sura al-Kahf , for they are your protection from his trial'). He will come forth on a road between Syria and al- `Iraq and do mischief right
بعبد العزى بن قطن فمن أدركه منكم فليقرأ عليه فواتح سورة الكهف -وفي رواية- فليقرأ عليه بفواتح سورة الكهف فإنها جواركم من فتنته إنه خارج خلّة بين الشام والعراق فعاث يميناً..The Shaykh : wreaking havoc
The reader:
and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth).
فعاث يميناً وعاث شمالاً يا عباد الله فاثبَتوا ..The Shaykh : stand firm
The reader:
Stand firm, servants of God." God's messenger was asked how long he would remain in the earth and replied, "Forty days, one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and the rest of his days like yours." God's messenger was then asked if one day's prayer would suffice them in that day which would be like a year and replied, "No, you must make an estimate of its extent." He was asked how quickly he would go in the earth and replied, "Like rain driven along by the wind. He will come to people and summon them and they will believe in him. He will then give command to the sky and it will give rain and to the earth and it will produce crops. Then in the evening their pasturing animals will come to them with their humps as high as possible; their udders full of milk, and their flanks distended. He will then come to people and summon them, but they will reject what he says, so he will leave them. In the morning they will be destitute, possessing none of their property. He will pass the waste land and tell it to bring forth its treasures, and its treasures will follow him like swarms of bees. He will then summon a man in the prime of youth, strike him with a sword and cut him in two like a shot at a target, after which he will call him and he will come forward laughing with his face shining. But at that very moment God will send the Messiah son of Mary who will descend
فاثبُتوا، قلنا يا رسول الله وما لبثه في الأرض؟ قال: أربعون يوما يوم كسنة ويوم كشهر ويوم كجمعة وسائر أيامه كأيامكم، قلنا: يا رسول الله فذلك اليوم الذي كسنة أتكفينا فيه صلاة يوم؟ قال: لا اقدروا له قدره، قلنا: يا رسول الله وما إسراعه في الأرض؟ قال: كالغيث استدبرته الريح فيأتي على القوم فيدعوهم فيؤمنون به فيأمر السماء فتمطر والأرض فتنبت فتروح عليهم سارحتهم أطول ما كانت ذرى وأسبغه ضروعاً وأمده خواصر ثم يأتي القوم فيدعوهم فيردون عليه قوله فينصرف عنهم فيصبحون مُمحلين ليس بأيديهم شيء من أموالهم ويمر بالخربة فيقول لها: أخرجي كنوزك فتتبعه كنوزها كيعاسيب النحل ثم يدعو رجلا ممتلئا شبابا فيضربه بالسيف فيقطعه جزلتين رمية الغرض ثم يدعوه فيقبل ويتهلل وجهه يضحك فبينما هو كذلك إذ بعث الله المسيح بن مريم فينزل..The Shaykh : Yes, yes, this hadith is among the most comprehensive descriptions of this Messiah, the Dajjal.
