Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Sahih Muslim 2937a When he clarified that this man goes to the right and to the left and roams the earth, he ordered the Ummah to be steadfast. Likewise, a person should be steadfast and firmly rooted during trials, so that storms do not shake him. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Hajj 22:11] This means he is on the edge, not firmly established in worship. If good befalls him and he does not encounter a trial, he continues in his worship. But if a trial befalls him, he turns on his face, apostatizes and commits open sin, losing this world and the Hereafter. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2937a The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also warned against approaching the Dajjal, saying: "Yina'" means to keep away from him. A person may come to him while believing or thinking that he is a believer, but the Dajjal will not cease with him until he misguides him and he follows him. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against approaching him and ordered keeping away from him, even if you think you are a believer, for he may deceive and misguide you, and you may follow him.
