Hazrat Abu Amr Shaibani narrates: I was sitting with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) when a Bedouin came, sat down on his knees in front of him, and said, "Has the Dajjal appeared?" Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "What is the Dajjal? Indeed, I fear more the things that will come before the Dajjal than the Dajjal himself. Indeed, his trial will last for forty nights."
