Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was mentioned in the presence of Dajjal. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear the trials of some of your own people for you more than the trial of Dajjal. Whoever is saved from the trials that come before Dajjal will also be saved from his trial, and from the beginning of the world, every minor and major trial that has appeared was for the sake of the trial of Dajjal."

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A (severe) time will come upon my Ummah when they will begin to wish for the Dajjal." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you! Why will it be so?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(They will wish so) because of the hardship or illness they will be afflicted with."
