How does every prophet warn his people about him, when he does not appear except in the last of times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, Ibrahim narrated to us from Salih from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn 'Abd Allah that 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: .
The Shaykh : This is part of the completeness of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) explanation; he explained to us something that the prophets before him did not explain, even though the prophets before him had warned about him, that he is one-eyed, and that Allah is not one-eyed. If someone asks: How does every prophet warn his people about him, when he does not appear except in the last of times? We say: This is in the category of pointing out the severity of his trial, and that it is a great trial that the prophets all agreed upon in warning about. Also, someone might ask: How did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention these physical signs, that he is one-eyed and that Allah is not one-eyed, when there are rational proofs indicating the falsity of his claim to divinity? We say: Because it is a great trial in which minds may be deceived and intellects may be distorted, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a physical sign that a person can see with his own eyes. This is part of the wisdom of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Otherwise, it is rationally known that a human being among humans does not possess the ability to be a god. But the trial, may Allah protect us from it, distorts hearts and deceives minds. Therefore, he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a physical sign. And in this hadith is evidence that Allah has only two eyes. Some people have asked: How do you establish for Allah two eyes, when He said: and He said: ? He did not mention anything but the singular and the plural.
And the answer is to say: The Sunnah has come that.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood before the people and praised Allah with what is worthy of Him, then he mentioned the Dajjal and said: "I am warning you about him, and there is no prophet who has not warned his people about him, but I will say to you about him something that no prophet has said to his people: he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed."
قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الناس فأثنى على الله بما هو أهله ثم ذكر الدجال فقال : إني لأنذركموه وما من نبي إلا وقد أنذره قومه ولكني سأقول لكم فيه قولًا لم يقله نبي لقومه إنه أعور وإن الله ليس بأعورThe Shaykh : This is part of the completeness of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) explanation; he explained to us something that the prophets before him did not explain, even though the prophets before him had warned about him, that he is one-eyed, and that Allah is not one-eyed.

It runs with our eyes
تجري بأعينناAnd make it with my eyes
ولتصنع على عينيAnd the answer is to say: The Sunnah has come that.
