It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Asid Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us while we were talking. He (peace be upon him) asked, "What are you talking about?" We said, "We are discussing the Day of Judgment." He (peace be upon him) said, "The Day of Judgment will not be established until you see ten signs before it." Then he mentioned: the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast of the earth, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of ‘Isa (peace be upon him), the emergence of Gog and Magog, and three landslides—one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. And after all these signs, a fire will appear from Yemen which will drive the people to the place of gathering (the place of gathering is the land of Syria)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Hasten to do good deeds before the trials that will be like the dark parts of the night. A man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, or he will be a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning, and he will sell his religion for the goods of this world.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things: the Dajjal, the smoke, the beast of the earth, the rising of the sun from the west, the Day of Resurrection, and death.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Worship during times of corruption and turmoil has a reward equal to migrating to me.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him):
We set out for Hajj or Umrah and Ibn Sayyad was with us. At one stop, we camped, people dispersed here and there, and only Ibn Sayyad and I remained. I felt great unease because of what people used to say about him (that he was the Dajjal). Ibn Sayyad brought his belongings and placed them with mine (which made me even more uneasy). I said, "It is very hot; if you put your belongings under that tree, it would be better." He did so. Then we saw some goats. Ibn Sayyad went and brought some milk and said, "Abu Sa'id! Drink the milk." I said, "It is very hot and the milk is warm," and there was no other reason for not drinking except that I disliked drinking from his hand. Ibn Sayyad said, "O Abu Sa'id! I have intended to take a rope, hang it from a tree, and hang myself because of what people say about me. O Abu Sa'id! Is the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more hidden from anyone than it is from you Ansar? Do you not know the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) better than anyone else? Did he not say that the Dajjal would be a disbeliever, and I am a Muslim? Did he not say that the Dajjal would be childless, and my children are in Madinah? Did he not say that the Dajjal would not enter Madinah or Makkah, and I am coming from Madinah and going to Makkah?" Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Because of such words from him, I was about to become his supporter (and consider what people said about him to be wrong), but then he said, 'By Allah! I know the Dajjal, and I know his place of birth, and I also know where he is now.' I said to him, 'Woe to you all day (meaning, what have you said, now I have become doubtful about you again).'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ibn Sayyad asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "What is the soil of Paradise like?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Pure white, fragrant like musk."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Munkadir that: I saw Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) swearing an oath that Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal. I said, "Do you swear by Allah?" He said, "I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he swore about this in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (the Prophet) did not deny it."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) along with some people to Ibn Sayyad, until they saw him playing with boys near the fort of Bani Maghala. At that time, Ibn Sayyad was close to puberty. He did not notice them until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on his back. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" Ibn Sayyad looked at him and said, "I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the unlettered (Ummiyeen)." (Ummi refers to one who is unlettered and uneducated.) Then Ibn Sayyad said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not answer this, nor did he request him to become Muslim, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had despaired of his accepting Islam. (And in one narration, it is mentioned with a 'Saad' that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck him with his foot.) And he said, "I believe in Allah and His Messengers." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "What do you see?" He replied, "Sometimes a truthful one comes to me and sometimes a liar." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your matter has become confused (i.e., mixed with truth and falsehood)." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have hidden a matter in my heart to ask you." Ibn Sayyad said, "It is Dukhan (smoke)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Be humiliated! You cannot go beyond your status." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me, I will strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If he is (i.e., the Dajjal), you will not be able to kill him, and if he is not (the Dajjal), then it is not better for you to kill him." Sayyiduna Salim bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) say that after this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Ibn Abi bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the garden where Ibn Sayyad lived. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the garden, he began to hide behind the date-palm trees so that he could deceive Ibn Sayyad and listen to some of his words. Before Ibn Sayyad could see him, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Ibn Sayyad lying on a bed, murmuring some unintelligible words. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained hidden among the date-palm trees, but his mother saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and called out to him, 'O Saf!' (Saf was the name of Ibn Sayyad.) 'Here comes Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' Hearing this, Ibn Sayyad stood up. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'If she had left him as he was, his matter would have become clear (we would have listened to his words and known whether he was a soothsayer or a magician).' Salim said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, 'Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among the people and praised Allah as He deserves, then mentioned the Dajjal and said, "I warn you against him, and there has not been any Prophet except that he warned his people against the Dajjal, even Nuh (peace be upon him) (whose time was very long ago) warned his people against him. But I am telling you something which no Prophet told his people: know that he will be one-eyed, and your Lord, Blessed and Exalted, is not one-eyed." (God forbid, being one-eyed is a defect, and Allah is free from every defect.) Ibn Shihab said that Umar bin Thabit Ansari narrated to me, and some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to him, that on the day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) warned the people against the Dajjal, he also said, "Between his two eyes will be written 'Kafir' (disbeliever)" (i.e., the actual letters Ka. Fa. Ra. will be written, or disbelief and wickedness will be apparent from his face), which every person who dislikes his actions will read, or every believer will read. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Know that none of you will see his Lord before he dies."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say: I met Ibn Sayyad twice. The first time I met him, I said to the people, "You used to say that Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal?" They said, "No, by Allah." I said, "By Allah! You have called me a liar. Some of you have narrated to me that he will not die until he becomes the wealthiest and most prosperous among you, and today he is just like that." He says, then Ibn Sayyad talked to us. Then I parted from Ibn Sayyad. He says, when I met him again, his eye was swollen. I said, "Since when has your eye been like this, as I am seeing?" He replied, "I do not know." I said, "The eye is in your head and you do not know?" He said, "If Allah wills, He can create an eye in this stick of yours." Then he made a sound like a donkey braying loudly. Nafi said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar went to Umm al-Mu'mineen (Hafsa, may Allah be pleased with her) and related this incident to her. She said, "What do you have to do with Ibn Sayyad? Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The first thing that will bring out the Dajjal to the people will be his anger (i.e., anger will bring him out)?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know well what will happen with the Dajjal. He will have two flowing rivers with him; one will appear to be white water to the eye, and the other will appear to be blazing fire. Then whoever encounters this situation should enter the river that appears to be fire, close his eyes, lower his head, and drink from it—it will be cool water. And one of Dajjal’s eyes will be completely flat, upon it will be a thick piece of flesh, and between his two eyes will be written "Kafir" (disbeliever), which every believer will read, whether he knows how to write or not.
