Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And among the proofs of the Sunnah is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Indeed your Lord is not blind in one eye إن ربكم ليس بأعور
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2241Sahih (Darussalam)
"
He said this while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was speaking about the Dajjal, the Dajjal who will come near the Hour, before the descent of 'Isa or after? And before Ya'juj and Ma'juj or after? Before Ya'juj, yes. This Dajjal
Seventy thousand Jews from Isfahan or Ispahan will follow him يتبعه سبعون ألفا من يهود أصبهان أو أصفهان
Sahih Ibn Hibban 62:684
, pay attention to Isfahan, where is it now? In Iran, yes. So the Dajjal will be in Iran, Jews will follow him from the Jews of Isfahan, from the Jews of Isfahan, meaning the Jews are more than seventy thousand,
The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls. يتبعه سبعون ألفا عليهم الطيالسة
Sahih Muslim 2944
as the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said, and the hadith is in Sahih Muslim. This Dajjal will come with a very great fitnah, a fitnah of the greatest kind, as the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said
There is no fitnah between the creation of Adam and the establishment of the Hour greater than the Dajjal ما من فتنة ما بين خلق آدم إلى أن تقوم الساعة أكبر من الدجال
because he
He will come to a people and call them, saying, "I am your Lord, so worship me," and they will be called out to him. If they are called out to him, they will become barren and their land will become desolate يأتي إلى القوم يدعوهم يقول أنا ربكم فاعبدون ، ويعيون عليه ، إذا عيّوا عليه أصبحوا وأرضهم ممحلة
, yesterday it was grass grazed by camels, cows, and sheep, and now it is a barren, lifeless land,
Then he will come to a people and call them, saying, "I am your Lord, so worship me," and they will worship him. He will command the sky and it will rain, and the earth and it will grow, and they will become fertile ثم يأتي إلى القوم يدعوهم يقول أنا ربكم فاعبدون فيعبدونه فيأمر السماء فتمطر والأرض فتنبت فيصبحون مخصبين
, is this a fitnah or not? A great fitnah, especially for the Bedouins whose only concern is grazing and livestock. It is one of the greatest fitnahs, but for the one whom Allah protects, it is not a fitnah, because he has apparent signs, among which is this sign of ugliness, that he is one-eyed, that he is one-eyed.
If someone were to ask, how does the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) make the distinction between the Lord and the Dajjal by saying he is one-eyed, when reason knows the difference between them, this is a created being and he is on earth, and the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) is in the sky, so why did he not mention the rational proofs? We say that in the state of fitnah, the indication of reason disappears, the indication of reason disappears, and there is no place left for a person to think, yes, there is no place left for thinking. For this reason, the best thing for a sound mind is to remain firm when doubts arise. So this rational proof is undoubtedly firm in that this Dajjal is not the Lord, but the rational proof, with the strength of the attack from this fitnah, may disappear and a person may not mention it. But is the one-eyedness hidden or apparent? Apparent. I do not want anything, he is one-eyed. As soon as I see this wretch, and I hope that Allah will protect me and you from his fitnah, as soon as I see him, I know that he is the Dajjal. What need is there for me to use my mind? And the fitnah that I have now, and the strength of the attack, the attack of evil from him, all of this is removed by this apparent sign,
He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not blind in one eye إنه أعور وإن ربكم ليس بأعور
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2245Sahih (Darussalam)

Some people have claimed that this hadith does not indicate the attribute of the eye, and said that the meaning of one-eyedness here is defect, meaning that he is defective and that Allah is not defective. But this statement is invalid, because everyone knows that the meaning of one-eyed in the Arabic language is that he has only one eye. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says
The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp العوراء البين عورها والمريضة البين مرضها والعرجاء البين ضلعها
Sunan Ibn Majah 3144Sahih (Darussalam)
If one-eyedness meant defect, there would be repetition in the hadith. So one-eyedness is not defect. Then, in the wording of the hadith narrated by Ibn 'Umar and others,
The one-eyed man whose right eye أعور العين اليمنى
the eye, one-eyed in the eye, is it clear now?
his eye would be like a floating grape كأن عينه عنبة طافية
Sahih Muslim 169e
And this is clear that the meaning of one-eyedness here is the corruption of one of the eyes. Yes.
