Continuation of the explanation of the hadith: (He is a young man with a squinted eye, his eye protruding, as if I were comparing him to 'Abd al-'Uzza ibn Qatan. So whoever among you encounters him, let him recite to him the opening verses of Surat al-Kahf. He will emerge in a valley between Sham and Iraq, and he will wreak havoc to the right and to the left. O servants of Allah, stand firm.)

The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted, in the context of the hadith of al-Nu'as ibn Sim'an (may Allah be pleased with him), in the chapter on the hadiths of the Dajjal and the signs of the Hour, among other things:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

He is a young man with a squinted eye, his eye protruding, as if I were comparing him to 'Abd al-'Uzza ibn Qatan. So whoever among you encounters him, let him recite to him the opening verses of Surat al-Kahf. He will emerge in a valley between Sham and Iraq, and I will wreak havoc to the right and I will wreak havoc to the left. O servants of Allah, stand firm. We said: O Messenger of Allah, how long will he remain on earth? He said: Forty days: a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days. We said: O Messenger of Allah, is the prayer of one day sufficient for us on that day which is like a year? He said: No, estimate its measure for it. We said: O Messenger of Allah, what is his speed on earth? He said: Like a raincloud driven by the wind. He will come upon a people and call them, and they will believe in him and respond to him. He will command the sky and it will rain, and the earth and it will grow. Their grazing animals will return to them in the evening with the longest horns, the fullest udders, and the fattest flanks. Then he will come upon the people and call them, and they will reject his words. He will turn away from them, and they will wake up in a drought, with nothing in their hands of their wealth. And he will pass by the desolate place and say to it: Bring out your treasures. And its treasures will follow him like swarms of bees. Then he calls

إنه شابٌ قطط عينه طافية، كأني أشبهه بعبد العزى بن قطن، فمن أدركه منكم، فليقرأ عليه فواتح سورة الكهف، إنه خارج خلة بين الشام والعراق، فعاثي يميناً وعاثي شمالاً، يا عباد الله فاثبتوا قلنا : يا رسول الله وما لبثه في الأرض ؟ قال : أربعون يومًا : يوم كسنة، ويوم كشهر، ويوم كجمعة، وسائر أيامه كأيامكم.
قلنا : يا رسول الله فذلك اليوم الذي كسنة أتكفينا فيه صلاة يوم ؟ قال : لا، أقدروا له قدره، قلنا : يا رسول الله وما إسراعه في الأرض ؟ قال : كالغيث استدبرته الريح، فيأتي على القوم فيدعوهم، فيؤمنون به ويستجيبون له، فيأمرُ السماء فتمطر والأرض فتُنبت، فتروح عليهم سارحتهم أطول ما كانت ذُرى، وأسبغه ضروعاً، وأمده خواصر، ثم يأتي القومَ فيدعوهم، فيردون عليه قوله، فينصرفُ عنهم، فيصبحون ممحلين، ليس بأيديهم شيء من أموالهم، ويمر بالخربة فيقول لها : أخرجي كنوزك، فتتبعه كنوزها كيعاسيب النحل ثم يدعو

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in the context of the hadith of al-Nu'as ibn Sim'an (may Allah be pleased with him) in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*: He said, in the context of this hadith regarding the mention of the Dajjal: : A young man from the children of Adam. "Qatt" means his features are compressed. : Meaning he cannot see with it, as if it were a protruding grape, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said. So he is a one-eyed, wicked man, but Allah (Mighty and Majestic) sends him as a trial, a trial for people. He comes to people and calls them, claiming to be their Lord, and Allah has enabled him to do so. So he would come to people and call them, and they would believe in him and respond to him. : They witness it with their own eyes. He says: O sky, rain, and it rains. O earth, grow, and it grows. But this is not by his power or strength, rather it is by the will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But Allah enabled him for the sake of testing and trial. : Meaning sheep and camels. The most abundant and fullest they can be in udders, and the most abundant they can be in horns: meaning they will have humps, and their flanks will be fattest, their bellies will be full, their udders will be full, and they will have fat on them, and they will be tested.
: They reject him. : The land is desolate, the sky does not rain, and the wealth dies. But these are the ones who have the reward and the recompense, and their end is good. As for the first group who believed in him, and the sky rained and the earth grew, they are losers, even if they think they are winners.
: A desolate land with no buildings and no people. : So it brings out its treasures and the minerals within it, such as gold, silver, and others. How many months? Twelve months, three hundred and sixty days. This is the first day. The second is the measure of a month, thirty days. The third: the measure of a week, meaning a week. And the remaining days, which are thirty-seven days, are like the usual days. But Allah (Mighty and Majestic) alerted the Companions. : So how much is required of them on this day? Five prayers. He said: : Meaning pray the full prayer of a year in one day. This is something that is used in riddles. It is said: A person is obligated to pray the full prayer of a year in one day. Also, it is used in riddles from another angle: The zakat of his wealth is due in one day. Also, it is used in riddles a third time: He fasts Ramadan for part of a day, meaning a part of the twelve parts of this day, he fasts Ramadan. We say: This is the day of the Dajjal.
And glory to Allah the Wise, who perfected the religion for us before the death of the Master of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah enabled the Companions to ask about this day: is one prayer sufficient in it or not? There are now on earth places where their day is six months and their night is six months, at the polar circle, six months with the sun upon them, and six months where they do not see the sun. How do these people pray? Do they pray only the prayer of one day and night, or do they estimate its measure for it? We say: They estimate its measure for it, exactly like the day of the Dajjal. The second of the days of the Dajjal is like a month. How much prayer is sufficient for it? The prayer of a month. They pray the prayer of a month. The third day, they pray the prayer of a week. The fourth day and the rest are as usual.
Then the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked him about his movement on earth. Is it like the usual movement, like the movement of camels or the movement of feet? - Because we are delayed, there is no power nor strength except by Allah - He speeds up on earth, and Allah knows best how his speed was. Did Allah provide him with airplanes or other things? We do not know. But this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of: : And praise be to Allah, forty days: a year and a month and how many days? Seven and seven and thirty, forty-four days. A year and a month and forty-four days. Then after that, 'Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) will descend and kill him. And the rest of the hadith will come, if Allah wills, later.
