Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about the Dajjal, and he made the matter seem near and apparent. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have kneaded dough for my family and it seems to me that the Dajjal will emerge before I reach there. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he appears while I am among you, then I will confront him on your behalf, and if he appears after me, then in my place Allah, the Exalted, will be the guardian of every Muslim."
