How do we reconcile the report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Dajjal will not enter Makkah and al-Madinah, with what came in another hadith that the Prophet (peace

The questioner: In al-Bukhari, in the chapter on the Prophets, it mentions the hadith describing the one-eyed Dajjal, that he placed his hands on his shoulders...

No, the error came from the assumption that the vision might be interpreted... interpreted literally...
