The Shaykh : This is among the things that protect one from the trial of the Dajjal. If a person encounters him, he should recite to him the opening verses of Surat al-Kahf, or he should recite them even if he does not direct the recitation toward him. Indeed, that protects the person from his evil. Yes.
The reciter:
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 at the white minaret
يا عباد الله فاثبتوا، 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 صارحتهم أطول ما كانت ذرى وأسبغه ضروعا وأمدّه خواصرا ثم يأتي القوم فيدعوهم فيردون عليه قوله فينصرف عنهم فيصبحون ممحلين 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 ابن مريم فينزل عند المنارة البيضاء .. .
