Explanation of the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no land that the Dajjal will not tread upon, except Mecca and Medina.

The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings 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 hadiths in the chapter on the hadiths of the Dajjal and the signs of the Hour and others:
"From Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

There is no land that the Dajjal will not tread upon, except Mecca and Medina, and there is no pass of their passes except that the angels are lined up upon it guarding them. He will descend at al-Sabkha, and Medina will shake three shakes, and Allah will expel from it every disbeliever and hypocrite.

ليس مِن بلد إلا سيطؤه الدجال، إلا مكة والمدينة، وليس نقب من أنقابهما إلا عليه الملائكة صافين تحرسهما، فينزل بالسَّبَخة، فترجف المدينة ثلاث رجفات، يخرج الله منها كل كافر ومنافق

And from Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her): that she heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:

And from Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say:

Between time of the creation of Adam and the Resurrection Day, there is nothing greater than the mischief of Dajjal (the Antichrist).

ما بين خلق آدم إلى قيام الساعة أمرٌ أكبر من الدجال

Riyad as-Salihin 1814

Narrated by Muslim.
And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:

Dajjal (the Antichrist) will come forth and a person from amongst the believers will go towards him and the armed watchmen of Dajjal will meet him and they will say to him: 'Where do you intend to go?' He will say: 'I intend to go to this one who has appeared.' They will say to him: 'Don't you believe in our lord (meaning Dajjal)?' He will say: 'There (i.e., we know Him to be Allah, Alone, without any partners) is nothing hidden about our Rubb.' Some of them will say: 'Let us kill him', but some others will say: 'Has your lord (Dajjal) not forbidden you to kill anyone without his consent?' So they will take him to Dajjal. When the believer will see him, he will say: 'O people! This is Dajjal about whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has informed us.' Dajjal will have him laid on his stomach and have his head. He will be struck on his back and on his stomach. Dajjal will ask him: 'Don't you believe in me?' He will say: 'You are the false Messiah.' He will then give his order to have him sawn with a saw into two from the parting of his hair up to his legs. After that Dajjal will walk between the two halves and will say to him: 'Stand up', and he will stand on his feet. He will then say to him: 'Don't you believe in me?' The person will say: 'It has added to my insight that you are Dajjal'. He will add: 'O people! He will not be able to behave with anyone amongst people in such a manner after me.' Dajjal will try to kill him. The space between his neck and collarbone will turn into copper and he will find no way to kill him. So he will catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him into (what appears to be the fire). The people will think that he has been thrown into the fire whereas he will be thrown into Jannah." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) added, "He will be the most eminent amongst the people with regard to martyrdom near the Rubb of the worlds."

يخرج الدجال فيتوجه قبله رجل من المؤمنين، فيتلقاه المسالح: مسالح الدجال، فيقولون له: إلى أين تعمِد؟ فيقول: أعمد إلى هذا الذي خرج، فيقولون له: أو ما تؤمن بربنا؟ فيقول: ما بربنا خفاء! فيقولون: اقتلوه، فيقول بعضهم لبعض: أليس قد نهاكم ربكم أن تقتلوا أحداً دونه، فينطلقون به إلى الدجال، فإذا رآه المؤمن قال: يا أيها الناس إن هذا الدجال الذي ذكر رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فيأمر الدجال به فيشبَّح، فيقول: خذوه وشُجوه، فيوسع ظهره وبطنه ضرباً، فيقول: أو ما تؤمن بي؟ فيقول: أنت المسيح الكذاب! فيؤمر به، فينشر بالمنشار من مفرقه حتى يفرق بين رجليه، ثم يمشي الدجال بين القطعتين، ثم يقول له: قم، فيستوي قائماً. ثم يقول له: أتؤمن بي؟ فيقول: ما ازددت فيك إلا بصيرة. ثم يقول: يا أيها الناس إنه لا يفعل بعدي بأحد من الناس، فيأخذه الدجال لِيَذبحه، فيجعل الله ما بين رقبته إلى تَرقوته نحاساً، فلا يستطيع إليه سبيلاً، فيأخذه بيديه ورجليه فيقذف به، فيحسب الناس أنه قذفه إلى النار، وإنما أُلقي في الجنة، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: هذا أعظم الناس شهادة عند رب العالمين

And from al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:

No one asked God's messenger more about the dajjal than I did, and he assured me he would do me no harm. When I told him people were saying he would have with him a mountain of bread and a river of water, he replied that he was too insignificant in God's sight for that

ما سأل أحد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الدجال أكثر مما سألتُه، وإنه قال لي: ما يضرك؟ قلت: إنهم يقولون: معه جبل خبز ونهر ماء ؟ قال: هو أهون على الله من ذلك

And from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

There has not been a Prophet who has not warned his Ummah of that one-eyed liar (Dajjal). Behold, he is blind in one eye and your Rubb (Allah) is not blind. On his forehead are the letters: (K.F.R.) (meaning Kafir- disbeliever).

And from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both):

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
These many hadiths that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) presented in explaining the Dajjal are worthy of being presented and mentioned, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: , and therefore no prophet among the prophets came except that he warned his people about him, even though he will not come except in the last times. And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) knows that Muhammad is the seal of the prophets, and yet the previous prophets warned about him. The wisdom behind this is to highlight his trial and explain it, and that it is great, even though he will not come except at the end of the world; so his trial is great.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained that the Dajjal will enter every land; every land the Dajjal will enter, calling people, and refuge is sought in Allah, to worship him, and testing them, except Mecca and Medina, for he will not enter them, because the angels are upon every gate of them, angels defending Mecca and Medina.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: : a high type of clothing. The meaning is that from Isfahan, which is known in the cities of Iran, seventy thousand will follow this wicked Dajjal.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: , because blindness is a defect, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is free from every defect. The people of the Sunnah and the community used this hadith as evidence that our Lord (Exalted and Majestic is He) has two eyes, but they do not resemble the eyes of the created beings, due to His saying: .
And it was also mentioned in these hadiths: that a young Muslim man will emerge when he hears about him to see him and clarify his lie to the people. : meaning his guards who are armed. : meaning he will cut him lengthwise, splitting him lengthwise, and placing each part on one side. : as came in the previous hadith. : Allah the Exalted will make this man iron so that he cannot be killed. This is either real iron, and Allah is capable of everything, or he will be hard so that swords cannot penetrate him. These are all attributes of the Dajjal.
And among them also is that the Messenger mentioned that he has with him fire and Paradise, but his fire is Paradise and his Paradise is fire. And when al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: They say that he has with him a mountain of bread, he said:
In any case, we believe that in the last times a man will emerge called the Dajjal, with the attributes mentioned in this chapter and others, and we seek refuge in Allah from him in every prayer. In every prayer, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us: .
