Abdullah Ibne Amr Radiyallahu anhuma narrates that Rasulullah
Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: Dajjal will appear in my Ummah
and remain for forty; I do not know whether (he said) for forty days, or forty
months, or forty years. Then Allah will send Isa ibne Maryam resembling ‘Urwah
Ibne-Masud. He will seek out Dajjal and will destroy him. Thereafter,
people shall remain for seven years without enmity even between two persons.
Then Allah will send a cool breeze from the diretion of Syria; whereupon none
shall remain upon the face of the earth whose heart has the tinest particle of
Iman, except that his life shall be seized by this breeze.. Even if one of you
were to enter the innermost recess of a mountain, it (the breeze) would enter
even there and seize him.
Thereafter, only the most wicked people shall remain who are
as unstable as birds (easily srartled) with a tendency to wickedness with the
intelligence of beasts of prey (who have little intelligence and show violence
and anger), neither knowing right nor objecting to evil. Then Shaitan (Satan)
wil appear to them and say: Will you not comply with my command? They will say:What
do you command us? He will then order them to worship idols (and they will obey
him) Abudant sustenance will be granted to them and apparently, they will enjoy
a good and luxurious life.
Then the Triumpet will be blown and everyone who hears it
will bend one side of his neck, and raise the other, listening attentively. The
first to hear it will be a man plastering a water tank for his camels. Then he
will collapse senseless, and die and so will all the the people with him. Then
Allah will send down rain resembling dew, causing the bodies of the people to
sprout like plants from the earth. Thereafter the Triumpet will be blown a
second time, and the people will rise looking around... Then it will be said: O
people! Hasten towards your Rabb! The angels will be told to restrain them for
they are to be questioned. Command then will be give to bring forth those who
are to go to Hell and when they asked what proportion is to be brought forth,
they will be told it is nine hundred and nionety nine out of every thousand.
That will be a day which will make children grey haired; and that is the day
when the Shin will be bared.
In another narration it is stated: Hearing that
nine-hundred-and ninety-nine out of thousand will be doomed to the Fire (of
Hell), the Sahabah were deeply grieved and it showed on their faces. Then
Rasulallah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: Nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine will
be from Yajuj Majuj(Gog and Magog) and one from you.
HADITH: SAHIH BUKHARI
Note: Shin: is one of the allegorical terms used in the
Quran like face and hand. It is a special attribute of Allah Subhanawu Tala. We
should believe in it in the same manner as we believe in the existence, life,
the hearing and seeing of Allah. (Tafseer Usmani)
Dajjal is the Great Deceiver who will appear near the end of
the world and will claim to be God and will be killed by Isa alaihis Salam at
his Second Coming.
