I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Give in charity because there will come a time on the people when a
person will go out with his alms from place to place but will not find anybody to accept it."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other
whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and
the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim
that he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), (3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious
scholars) (4) earthquakes will increase in number (5) time will pass quickly, (6) afflictions will
appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance ---- so abundant
that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat, and whenever he will present it
to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it, (9) till the people
compete with one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man when passing by a grave of
someone will say, 'Would that I were in his place (11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when
the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam)
but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it
believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the
Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able
to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has
taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man
repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established
when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it."
Nobody asked the Prophet (ﷺ) as many questions as I asked regarding Ad-Dajjal. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me,
"What worries you about him?" I said, "Because the people say that he will have a mountain of bread
and a river of water with him (i.e. he will have abundance of food and water)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Nay,
he is too mean to be allowed such a thing by Allah"' (but it is only to test mankind whether they
believe in Allah or in Ad-Dajjal.)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ad-Dajjal will come and encamp at a place close to Medina and then Medina will
shake thrice whereupon every Kafir (disbeliever) and hypocrite will go out (of Medina) towards him."

Chapter 26: Information about Ad-Dajjal - كتاب الفتن
Narrated Abu Bakra:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ رُعْبُ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَلَهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ باب مَلَكَانِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The terror caused by Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal will not enter Medina and at that time
Medina will have seven gates and there will be two angels at each gate (guarding them).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up amongst the people and then praised and glorified Allah as He deserved and
then he mentioned Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you of him, and there was no prophet but warned his
followers of him; but I will tell you something about him which no prophet has told his followers: Ad-
Dajjal is one-eyed whereas Allah is not."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream) performing Tawaf around the
Ka`ba. Behold, I saw a reddish-white man with lank hair, and water was dropping from his head. I
asked, "Who is this?' They replied, 'The son of Mary.' Then I turned my face to see another man with
a huge body, red complexion and curly hair and blind in one eye. His eye looked like a protruding out
grape. They said (to me), He is Ad-Dajjal." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "The man he resembled most is Ibn
Qatan, a man from the tribe of Khuza`a. "

" إِنَّ مَعَهُ مَاءً وَنَارًا، فَنَارُهُ مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ، وَمَاؤُهُ نَارٌ ". قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said about Ad-Dajjal that he would have water and fire with him: (what would seem to
be) fire, would be cold water and (what would seem to be) water, would be fire.

Narrated Anas:
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" مَا بُعِثَ نَبِيٌّ إِلاَّ أَنْذَرَ أُمَّتَهُ الأَعْوَرَ الْكَذَّابَ، أَلاَ إِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ، وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ، وَإِنَّ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ كَافِرٌ ". فِيهِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No prophet was sent but that he warned his followers against the one-eyed liar
(Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written
between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e., disbeliever)." (This Hadith is also quoted by Abu
Huraira and Ibn `Abbas).
One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he
narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of
Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a
man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal
whose story Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man
and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No,' Then Ad-
Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now I recognize
you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to
do so."

Chapter 27: Ad-Dajjal will not be able to enter Al-Madina - كتاب الفتن
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" الْمَدِينَةُ يَأْتِيهَا الدَّجَّالُ، فَيَجِدُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ يَحْرُسُونَهَا، فَلاَ يَقْرَبُهَا الدَّجَّالُ ـ قَالَ ـ وَلاَ الطَّاعُونُ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ad-Dajjal will come to Medina and find the angels guarding it. So Allah willing,
neither Ad-Dajjal, nor plague will be able to come near it."
That one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah! Woe to the Arabs from the Great evil that has approached (them). Today a hole
has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog like this." The Prophet (ﷺ) made a circle with his index
finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh added: I said, "O Alllah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though
there will be righteous people among us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, if the (number) of evil (persons)
increased."

Chapter 28: Ya’juj and Ma’juj - كتاب الفتن
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" يُفْتَحُ الرَّدْمُ رَدْمُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ". وَعَقَدَ وُهَيْبٌ تِسْعِينَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A hole has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog." Wuhaib (the sub-narrator)
made the number 90 (with his index finger and thumb).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The
Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of
his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's
home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his
master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for
his charges."
That while he was included in a delegation of Quraish staying with Muawiya, Muawiya heard that
`Abdullah bin `Amr had said that there would be a king from Qahtan tribe, whereupon he became very
angry. He stood up, and after glorifying and praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed, I have
come to know that some of you men are narrating things which are neither in Allah's Book, nor has
been mentioned by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Such people are the ignorant among you. Beware of such vain
desires that mislead those who have them. I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'This matter (of the
caliphate) will remain with the Quraish, and none will rebel against them, but Allah will throw him
down on his face as long as they stick to the rules and regulations of the religion (Islam).'"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: (1) A man whom Allah has
given wealth and he spends it righteously. (2) A man whom Allah has given wisdom (knowledge of
the Qur'an and the Hadith) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."

" اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنِ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ زَبِيبَةٌ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black)
slave whose head looks like a raisin."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody sees his Muslim ruler doing something he disapproves of, he should
be patient, for whoever becomes separate from the Muslim group even for a span and then dies, he
will die as those who died in the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance (as rebellious sinners). (See Hadith

Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ، فِيمَا أَحَبَّ وَكَرِهَ، مَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ، فَإِذَا أُمِرَ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلاَ سَمْعَ وَلاَ طَاعَةَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Muslim has to listen to and obey (the order of his ruler) whether he likes it or
not, as long as his orders involve not one in disobedience (to Allah), but if an act of disobedience (to
Allah) is imposed one should not listen to it or obey it. (See Hadith No. 203, Vol. 4)
