Sunan Abi Dawood

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ لَأَنَا بِمَا مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ إِنَّ مَعَهُ بَحْرًا مِنْ مَائٍ وَنَهْرًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَالَّذِي تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ نَارٌ مَائٌ وَالَّذِي تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مَائٌ نَارٌ فَمَنْ أَدْرَکَ ذَلِکَ مِنْکُمْ فَأَرَادَ الْمَائَ فَلْيَشْرَبْ مِنْ الَّذِي يَرَی أَنَّهُ نَارٌ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَجِدُهُ مَائً قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيُّ هَکَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ

Hudhaifa and Abu Masud got together and Hudhaifah said: I know best what the Dajjal (Antichrist) will have with him. He will have with him a sea of water and a river of fire, and what you see as fire will be water and what you sea as water will be fire. If any of you who lives up to that time and desires water, he should drink from what he sees as fire, for he will find it water. Abu Masud al-Badri said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in this way.

رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ← مَنْصُورٌ، ← جَرِيرٌ ← الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا بُعِثَ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا قَدْ أَنْذَرَ أُمَّتَهُ الدَّجَّالَ الْأَعْوَرَ الْکَذَّابَ أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّکُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَکْتُوبًا کَافِرٌ

Anas bin Malik reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: No prophet was sent who had not warned his people about the one-eyed. Between his eyes will be written “infidel” (kafir).

اَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ، ← قَتَادَةَ ← شُعْبَةُ ← أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ک ف ر

Shubah said in his version: “the letters k, f, r” (are on his forehead).

شُعْبَةُ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ الْحَبْحَابِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ يَقْرَؤُهُ کُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Anas bin Malik through a different chain of narrators, This version adds: Every Muslim will read it.

اَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ، ← شعيب بن الحبحاب ← عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ← مُسَدَّدٌ

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّهْمَائِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِالدَّجَّالِ فَلْيَنْأَ عَنْهُ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَأْتِيهِ وَهُوَ يَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ فَيَتَّبِعُهُ مِمَّا يَبْعَثُ بِهِ مِنْ الشُّبُهَاتِ أَوْ لِمَا يَبْعَثُ بِهِ مِنْ الشُّبُهَاتِ هَکَذَا قَالَ

Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: The Prophet ﷺ said: Let him who hears of the Dajjal (Antichrist) go far from him for I swear by Allah that a man will come to him thinking he is a believer and follow him because of confused ideas roused in him by him.

عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ← أَبِي الدَّهْمَائِ ← حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، ← جَرِيرٌ ← مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ

حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرٌ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ حَدَّثْتُکُمْ عَنْ الدَّجَّالِ حَتَّی خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا تَعْقِلُوا إِنَّ مَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالِ رَجُلٌ قَصِيرٌ أَفْحَجُ جَعْدٌ أَعْوَرُ مَطْمُوسُ الْعَيْنِ لَيْسَ بِنَاتِئَةٍ وَلَا حَجْرَائَ فَإِنْ أُلْبِسَ عَلَيْکُمْ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ رَبَّکُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد عَمْرُو بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَلِي الْقَضَائَ

Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit: The Prophet ﷺ said: I have told you so much about the Dajjal (Antichrist) that I am afraid you may not understand. The Antichrist is short, hen-toed, woolly-haired, one-eyed, an eye-sightless, and neither protruding nor deep-seated. If you are confused about him, know that your Lord is not one-eyed. Abu Dawud said: Amr bin Al-Aswad was appointed a judge.

عُبَادَۃَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ ← جُنَادَۃَ بْنَ اَبِیْ اُمَیَّۃَ ← عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ← خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، ← بَحِيرٍ، ← بَقِيَّةُ، ← حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ

حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ الْمُؤَذِّنُ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ الْکِلَابِيِّ قَالَ ذَکَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ إِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا فِيکُمْ فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ دُونَکُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَلَسْتُ فِيکُمْ فَامْرُؤٌ حَجِيجُ نَفْسِهِ وَاللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَی کُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَمَنْ أَدْرَکَهُ مِنْکُمْ فَلْيَقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاتِحَ سُورَةِ الْکَهْفِ فَإِنَّهَا جِوَارُکُمْ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ قُلْنَا وَمَا لَبْثُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا يَوْمٌ کَسَنَةٍ وَيَوْمٌ کَشَهْرٍ وَيَوْمٌ کَجُمُعَةٍ وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ کَأَيَّامِکُمْ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي کَسَنَةٍ أَتَکْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلَاةُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ قَالَ لَا اقْدُرُوا لَهُ قَدْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ عِيسَی ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الْبَيْضَائِ شَرْقِيَّ دِمَشْقَ فَيُدْرِکُهُ عِنْدَ بَابِ لُدٍّ فَيَقْتُلُهُ

Al-nawwas bin Siman al-Kilabi said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Dajjal (Antichrist) saying: If he comes forth while I am among you I shall be the one who will dispute with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth when I am not among you, a man must dispute on his own behalf, and Allah will take my place in looking after every Muslim. Those of you who live up to his time should recite over him the opening verses of Surat al – Kahf, for they are your protection from his trial. We asked: How long will he remain on the earth ? He replied: Forty days, one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and rest of his days like yours. We asked: Messenger of Allah, will one day’s prayer suffice us in this day which will be like a year ? He replied: No, you must make an estimate of its extent. Then Jesus son of Marry will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus. He will then catch him up at the date of Ludd and kill him.

النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْکِلَابِيَّ ← أَبِيهِ ← عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ← يَحْيَی بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ ← ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، ← الْوَلِیْدُ ← صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ الْمُؤَذِّنُ

حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ عَنْ السَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ وَذَکَرَ الصَّلَوَاتِ مِثْلَ مَعْنَاهُ

A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abu Umamah from the prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators. In this version he mentioned the prayers to the same effect.

أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ← عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ← السَّيْبَانِيِّ ← ضَمْرَةُ، ← عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ؛

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَائِ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْکَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَکَذَا قَالَ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ حَفِظَ مِنْ خَوَاتِيمِ سُورَةِ الْکَهْفِ و قَالَ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ مِنْ آخِرِ الْکَهْفِ

Abu al-Darda reported the prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone memorizes ten verses from the beginning of surat al-Kahf, he will be protected from the trial of Dajjal (Antichrist). Abu Dawud said: In this way Hashim al-dastawa’I transmitted it from Qatadah, but he said: “If anyone memorizes the closing verses of surat al-Kahf. ” Shubah narrated from Qatadah the words “from the end of al-Kahf.

حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَائِ ← مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ← سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ← قَتَادَةَ ← هَمَّامٌ، ← حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ،

حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَی عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ يَعْنِي عِيسَی وَإِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَاعْرِفُوهُ رَجُلٌ مَرْبُوعٌ إِلَی الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ بَيْنَ مُمَصَّرَتَيْنِ کَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ يَقْطُرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَلٌ فَيُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ عَلَی الْإِسْلَامِ فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيُهْلِکُ اللَّهُ فِي زَمَانِهِ الْمِلَلَ کُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْإِسْلَامَ وَيُهْلِکُ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَمْکُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّی فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus ﷺ. He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.

حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَّرَ الْعِشَائَ الْآخِرَةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ حَبَسَنِي حَدِيثٌ کَانَ يُحَدِّثُنِيهِ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ کَانَ فِي جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا قَالَ مَا أَنْتِ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ اذْهَبْ إِلَی ذَلِکَ الْقَصْرِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَجُرُّ شَعْرَهُ مُسَلْسَلٌ فِي الْأَغْلَالِ يَنْزُو فِيمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَائِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ الْأُمِّيِّينَ بَعْدُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَطَاعُوهُ أَمْ عَصَوْهُ قُلْتُ بَلْ أَطَاعُوهُ قَالَ ذَاکَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ

Narrated Fatimah, daughter of Qays: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once delayed the congregational night prayer. He came out and said: The talk of Tamim ad-Dari detained me. He transmitted it to me from a man who was on of of the islands of the sea. All of a sudden he found a woman who was trailing her hair. He asked: Who are you? She said: I am the Jassasah. Go to that castle. So I came to it and found a man who was trailing his hair, chained in iron collars, and leaping between Heaven and Earth. I asked: Who are you? He replied: I am the Dajjal (Antichrist). Has the Prophet of the unlettered people come forth now? I replied: Yes. He said: Have they obeyed him or disobeyed him? I said: No, they have obeyed him. He said: That is better for them.

Fatimah, daughter of Qais, said: I heard the crier of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling: Assemble for the prayer. I Then came out and prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit laughing, and he said: Everyone should remain where he had said his prayer. He then asked: Do you know why I have assembled you because Tamim al-Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something which agrees with what I was telling you about Lakhm and judhism and that they were storm-tossed for a month. They drew near to an island when the sun was setting. They sat in a boat nearest to them and entered the island where they were met by a very hairy beast. They said: Woe to you! What can you be ? It repled: I am the Jassasah. Go to this man in the monastery, for he is anxious to get news of you. He said: When it named a man to us we were afraid of it least it should be a she-devil. So we went off quickly and entered the monastery, where we found a man with the hugest and strongest frame we had ever seen with his hand joined to his neck. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. He asked them about the palm-trees of Baisan and the spring of Zughar and about the unlettered prophet. He said: I am the messiah (the Antichrist) and will be soon Syrian sea or the Yemen sea: no, on the contrary, it is towards the east that he is. He said it teice and ponted his hand to the east. She said: I memorized this (tradition) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, And she narrated the tradition.
