Narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present in her house and Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) was kneading dough, when they mentioned the Dajjal. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "One year before his emergence, a third of the rain will be withheld from the sky, and the earth will not produce a third of its vegetation. In the second year, the sky will withhold two-thirds of its rain, and the earth will not produce two-thirds of its vegetation. And in the third year, the sky will withhold all its rain, and the earth will not produce any kind of vegetation, until there will not remain any cattle, etc. The greatest trial will be that he will say to a man: 'Tell me, if I bring your father or your brother back to life for you, will you then know that I am your Lord?' He will say: 'Yes.' He will say to a Bedouin: 'Tell me, if I bring your camel back to life for you, with a hump longer than before and udders larger than before, will you then know that I am your Lord?' He will say: 'Yes.' Then he will make the devils appear in their forms, while he cannot actually bring the dead to life." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went outside for some task, and when he returned, his noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were weeping. The Prophet (peace be upon him) held the door frame and said: "Be silent." Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! The mention of the Dajjal has been made to them, which has been hard on them. By Allah! We are anxious while you are among us; what will our state be when you are not with us? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If he (the Dajjal) emerges while I am among you, I will argue and debate with him on your behalf. And if he emerges after me, then Allah is my successor over every believer." Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! What will suffice for people in terms of food on that day? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "That which suffices the inhabitants of the heavens in glorification and sanctification."
