حَدِيثُ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلَابِيِّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (١)، ١٧٦٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، بِمَكَّةَ إِمْلَاءً، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيُّ، قَاضِي حِمْصَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلَابِيَّ، قَالَ: ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الدَّجَّالَ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ، فَخَفَّضَ فِيهِ وَرَفَّعَ، حَتَّى ظَنَنَّاهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ، فَلَمَّا رُحْنَا إِلَيْهِ عَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِينَا (٢) ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَكَرْتَ الدَّجَّالَ الْغَدَاةَ، فَخَفَّضْتَ فِيهِ وَرَفَّعْتَ، حَتَّى ظَنَنَّاهُ فِي طَائِفَةِ النَّخْلِ، قَالَ: " غَيْرُ الدَّجَّالِ أَخْوَفُ مِنِّي عَلَيْكُمْ، فَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ، فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ دُونَكُمْ، وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَلَسْتُ فِيكُمْ فَامْرُؤٌ حَجِيجُ نَفْسِهِ، وَاللهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، إِنَّهُ شَابٌّ جَعْدٌ قَطَطٌ، عَيْنُهُ طَافِئَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ خِلَّةً بَيْنَ الشَّامِ، وَالْعِرَاقِ، فَعَاثَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا، يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ اثْبُتُوا "، ، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لُبْثُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ؟ قَالَ: " أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا: يَوْمٌ كَسَنَةٍ، وَيَوْمٌ كَشَهْرٍ، وَيَوْمٌ كَجُمُعَةٍ، وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ كَأَيَّامِكُمْ " قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي هُوَ كَسَنَةٍ، أَيَكْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلَاةُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ؟ قَالَ: " لَا اقْدُرُوا لَهُ قَدْرَهُ "، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا إِسْرَاعُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ؟ قَالَ: " كَالْغَيْثِ اسْتَدْبَرَتْهُ الرِّيحُ ". قَالَ: " فَيَمُرُّ بِالْحَيِّ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ، فَيَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُ، فَيَأْمُرُ السَّمَاءَ فَتُمْطِرُ، وَالْأَرْضَ فَتُنْبِتُ، وَتَرُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَارِحَتُهُمْ، وَهِيَ أَطْوَلُ مَا كَانَتْ ذُرًا، وَأَمَدُّهُ خَوَاصِرَ، وَأَسْبَغُهُ ضُرُوعًا، وَيَمُرُّ بِالْحَيِّ فَيَدْعُوهُمْ، فَيَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ، فَتَتْبَعُهُ أَمْوَالُهُمْ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ مُمْحِلِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ شَيْءٌ، وَيَمُرُّ بِالْخَرِبَةِ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا: أَخْرِجِي كُنُوزَكِ، فَتَتْبَعُهُ كُنُوزُهَا كَيَعَاسِيبِ النَّحْلِ " قَالَ: " وَيَأْمُرُ بِرَجُلٍ فَيُقْتَلُ، فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَيَقْطَعُهُ جِزْلَتَيْنِ رَمْيَةَ الْغَرَضِ، ثُمَّ يَدْعُوهُ فَيُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ، يَتَهَلَّلُ وَجْهُهُ "، قَالَ: " فَبَيْنَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ بَعَثَ اللهُ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ، فَيَنْزِلُ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ شَرْقِيَّ دِمَشْقَ، بَيْنَ مَهْرُودَتَيْنِ، وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ مَلَكَيْنِ، فَيَتْبَعُهُ، فَيُدْرِكُهُ، فَيَقْتُلُهُ عِنْدَ بَابِ لُدٍّ الشَّرْقِيِّ "، قَالَ: " فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَخْرَجْتُ عِبَادًا مِنْ عِبَادِي، لَا يَدَانِ لَكَ بِقِتَالِهِمْ، فَحَرِّزْ (١)، ، عِبَادِي إِلَى الطُّورِ، فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ، وَهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ: {مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ} [الأنبياء: ٩٦] ، فَيَرْغَبُ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى اللهِ، فَيُرْسِلُ (١) عَلَيْهِمْ نَغَفًا فِي رِقَابِهِمْ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ فَرْسَى كَمَوْتِ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، فَيَهْبِطُ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بَيْتًا إِلَّا قَدْ مَلَأَهُ زَهَمُهُمْ وَنَتِنُهُمْ، فَيَرْغَبُ عِيسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى اللهِ، فَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا (٢) كَأَعْنَاقِ الْبُخْتِ، فَتَحْمِلُهُمْ فَتَطْرَحُهُمْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللهُ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَابِرٍ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيْدَ بْنُ عَطَاْءِ السَّكْسَكِيُّ (٣) ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ، أَوْ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ: " فَتَطْرَحُهُمْ بِالْمَهْبِلِ "، قَالَ ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ، وَأَيْنَ الْمَهْبِلُ؟ قَالَ: " مَطْلَعُ الشَّمْسِ "، قَالَ: " وَيُرْسِلُ اللهُ مَطَرًا لَا يَكُنْ مِنْهُ بَيْتُ، مَدَرٍ، وَلَا وَبَرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، فَيَغْسِلُ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهَا كَالزَّلَقَةِ، وَيُقَالُ لِلْأَرْضِ: أَنْبِتِي ثَمَرَتَكِ، وَرُدِّي بَرَكَتَكِ، قَالَ: فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَأْكُلُ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الرُّمَّانَةِ، وَيَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِقِحْفِهَا، وَيُبَارَكُ فِي الرِّسْلِ، حَتَّى أَنَّ اللَّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ لَتَكْفِي الْفِئَامَ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَاللَّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ تَكْفِي الْفَخِذَ وَالشَّاةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ،، ، تَكْفِي أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ. قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، إِذْ بَعَثَ اللهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً تَحْتَ آبَاطِهِمْ، فَتَقْبِضُ رُوحَ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، - أَوْ قَالَ: كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ - وَيَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ، يَتَهَارَجُونَ تَهَارُجَ الْحَمِيرِ، وَعَلَيْهِمْ، - أَوْ قَالَ: وَعَلَيْهِ - تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Narrated from Nawwas bin Sam'an Kalabi that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) one day described the Dajjal, mentioning both his humiliation (that he is one-eyed and despicable in the sight of Allah) and his greatness (that his trial is severe and he will show things contrary to the norm), to such an extent that we thought he was among those date palms (meaning, he seemed so near as if he was present—this was the effect of your description and the cause of the Companions' faith). When we returned to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) (i.e., at another time), he noticed the effect of fear of the Dajjal among us (our faces showed anxiety and fear). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is your condition?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), this morning you mentioned the Dajjal, described his humiliation and his greatness, to such an extent that we thought he was among those date palm trees." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I fear for you more from others than from the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will argue with him on your behalf (you will remain separate), and if he appears when I am not among you (i.e., after my death), then every person must argue on his own behalf, and Allah is my successor over every Muslim. Listen! The Dajjal is a young man, his hair is very curly, and his eye is protruding. Listen! The Dajjal will emerge from Khallasah, which is a path between Syria and Iraq, and he will spread corruption, moving right and left among the lands. O servants of Allah, remain firm in faith." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how long will he remain on earth?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Forty days, of which one day will be like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your (normal) days." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), on the day that is like a year, will one day's (five) prayers suffice for us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Estimate the time and pray accordingly." We asked, "How fast will he travel on the earth?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "His example is like rain driven by the wind. He will come to a people and call them to himself; they will accept him and believe in him (God forbid, he will claim divinity). Then he will command the sky, and it will rain upon them, and command the earth, and it will produce crops. Their animals will return in the evening (from grazing), their humps high (i.e., very fat), their udders full of milk, and their flanks swollen. Then he will come to another people and call them to himself; they will not accept his word (they will reject his claim to divinity). So the Dajjal will leave them, and in the morning they will be in famine, with nothing left in their hands. Then the Dajjal will pass by a ruin and say, 'Bring out your treasures,' and all its treasures will follow him like bees follow their queen. Then he will call a young, robust man and strike him with a sword, cutting him into two pieces, placing each piece at the distance of an arrow's shot from the other. Then he will call him by name, and the man will come alive, his face shining and laughing. While the Dajjal and the people are in this state, Allah will send Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him), who will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus, wearing two yellow garments (dyed with wars or saffron), with his hands resting on the wings of two angels. Isa will walk and find the Dajjal at the gate of Ludd, where he will kill that accursed one. While the people are in this state, Allah will send revelation to Isa, saying, 'O Isa, I have brought forth such servants of Mine that no one can fight them. So take My (believing) servants to Mount Tur.' And Allah will send Gog and Magog, as He has said: 'They will descend from every height,' i.e., they will be seen sliding down from every hill. Isa and his companions will pray to Allah, and Allah will send a disease (with worms) upon the people of Gog and Magog, which will appear in their necks, and by the next morning, they will all die as one man dies. Isa and his companions will descend from the mountain and will not find a handspan of ground free from their fat, stench, and blood. Then they will again...
