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
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4315
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.
