It is narrated from Hasan that he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Dajjal will enter the sea up to his knees and will grasp the cloud, and he will reach the place of the sun's setting before the sun itself. And there will be a horn on his forehead from which snakes will emerge. On his body, images of all kinds of weapons will be drawn, to the extent that the sword, spear, and shield are mentioned. He said: I asked, "What is a dirq?" He replied: "A shield."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that he said: The Dajjal will remain on the earth for forty days; he will reach every corner of the earth. Of these forty days, one day will be like a week, a week like a month, and a month like a year. Then he said: What will be your condition when those people will be in light and you will be in darkness, they will be satisfied and you will be hungry, they will be quenched and you will be thirsty.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khaythamah that Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud was reciting the Holy Qur'an in the mosque. When he reached this verse: "Like a crop that brings forth its shoot," Hazrat Abdullah said, "You are the crop, and the time for your harvesting has drawn near." Then the people mentioned Dajjal in that gathering. Some said, "We wish that he would appear and we would stone him." Hazrat Abdullah said, "You say this? By Him besides whom there is no deity, if you hear that he is in Babylon, then someone among you will go to him, and he will complain about his feet sinking into the ground because of hastening to reach him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Mugham that he mentioned the Dajjal and said: There is no ambiguity regarding the Dajjal, and I am more concerned about the trials that will occur before the Dajjal than the trial of the Dajjal itself. Surely, there is no ambiguity regarding the Dajjal. Indeed, the Dajjal will call towards such a matter that people will recognize, to the extent that they will see it with their own eyes.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Dajjal will emerge to such an extent that his emergence will be more beloved to the Muslims than drinking water in a state of thirst.

It is narrated from Hazrat Fatimah bint Qais that she said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer one day, then ascended the pulpit. The people considered this unusual; he was among those sitting and those standing (that is, some were sitting and some were standing), and before this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not sit on the pulpit except on Fridays. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to them with his hand to sit down, then said: By Allah, I have not stood here for any matter that would benefit you due to desire or fear, but rather Tamim Dari came to me and informed me, to the extent that because of the joy and coolness to my eyes from this news, I could not rest at noon. Listen carefully: A strong wind overtook Tamim Dari and his cousins at sea, and the wind brought them to an island which they did not recognize. They boarded a nearby boat and reached the island. Suddenly, they saw a black creature, with long eyelashes and much hair. They said to it, "What are you?" The creature replied, "I am Jassasah (the spy)." They said, "Tell us about yourself." It said, "I will neither tell you nor ask you anything, but this is a monastery which you have come near; go into it, for there is a man there who is eager to inform you and for you to inform him." So they went there and approached that man. Suddenly, they saw an old man bound in chains, very restless, with much hair. He said to them, "From which land have you come?" They said, "From Sham (Greater Syria)." That man said, "What is the condition of the Arabs?" They replied, "We are people of Arabia." He said, "What is the condition of the one who has appeared among you?" They said, "He is in a good state. People have opposed him, but Allah has granted him dominance over them. Nowadays, all are united; their God is one and their religion is one." He said, "That is better for them." He asked, "What is the condition of the spring of Nahr?" They said, "They irrigate their fields from it and drink from it in times of thirst." He asked, "What is the condition of the date palms between Amman and Baisan?" They said, "They bear fruit every year." He asked, "What is the condition of the Lake of Tiberias?" They replied, "Its shores are overflowing with water due to its abundance." Then he took three long breaths and said, "Indeed, if I am freed from these chains, I will not leave any land except that I will trample it with these two feet of mine, except for Madinah Munawwarah, for I will not have dominance over it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At this point, my happiness was complete. This is Taybah (Madinah). By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, there is no narrow or wide path of this Madinah except that there is an angel standing over it with a drawn sword until the Day of Judgment.

It is narrated from Qaboos bin Abi Zubyan that his father told him: We mentioned the Dajjal and asked Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "When will he appear?" He replied, "It will not be hidden from a believer that his right eye will be obliterated, and between his two eyes will be written 'Kafir' (disbeliever)." He spelled out the letters of 'Kafir' before us. We asked, "When will this be?" He said, "When neighbors boast over neighbors, the strong will consume the weak, family ties will be severed, and they will differ among themselves like the difference of these fingers," and he interlaced his fingers and raised them. One of the people said, "O Commander of the Faithful! What do you command us at that time?" He replied, "May your father perish, you will not reach that time." The narrator said, "Then we were pleased."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that he said: The Dajjal will be given power over a man from among the Muslims; he will kill him, then bring him back to life and say, "Am I not your Lord? Do you not see that I give life and cause death?" And that man will be calling out, "O people of Islam! Rather, this wicked disbeliever is the enemy of Allah." And by Allah, after me, he will not be given power over anyone else. The companions of Hazrat Abu Hurairah said: We used to pass by those who taught writing with Hazrat Abu Hurairah, and Hazrat Abu Hurairah would say, "O teacher of writing, gather your boys for me." When he gathered them, he would say, "Tell them to be silent. O nephew! Understand what I am saying to you. If any of you meets Isa ibn Maryam, he is a young man with a bright face and a reddish complexion, then convey my greetings to him from Abu Hurairah." Hazrat Abu Hurairah would not pass by any teacher of writing except that he would say this to his children.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that he said: The Day of Judgment will not be established until the city of Heraclius Caesar is conquered, and the muezzins will call the adhan in it, and wealth will be distributed there by means of shields. Then they will return with a great amount of wealth which people will see. Then a caller will come to them saying: The Dajjal is behind you, present in your homes. So whatever wealth is in their possession, they will throw it away and turn their attention to fighting him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ala bin Shukhair that Hazrat Nuh and the prophets with him used to seek refuge from the tribulation of Dajjal.
