Sahih al-BukhariProphets

Shall I tell you something about the Anti-Christ that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hellfire

Chapter: The Statement of Allah Aza Wajal: "And indeed We sent Nuh to his people..."

Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 3338

Narrator:Abu Hurayrah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏

أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ نَبِيٌّ قَوْمَهُ، إِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ، وَإِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ مَعَهُ بِمِثَالِ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَالَّتِي يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا الْجَنَّةُ‏.‏ هِيَ النَّارُ، وَإِنِّي أُنْذِرُكُمْ كَمَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ نُوحٌ قَوْمَهُ ‏"

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Shall I tell you something about the Anti-Christ that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hellfire. What he says is Paradise will actually be Hellfire. Indeed, I warn you as Nūh (Noah) warned his people against him."

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs his Companions about the Anti-Christ and his descriptions and signs that no other prophet before him had spoken of. This includes:

The fact that he is one-eyed.

Allah Almighty gave him something like Paradise and Hellfire that the eyes would perceive as such.

His Paradise will, in fact, be Hellfire, and his Hellfire will be Paradise. He admits those who obey him to this Paradise, which looks to be as such to people but is actually a scorching fire; and those who disobey him, he will admit him to Hellfire, which appears to be as such to people but is actually a beautiful Paradise. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then warned us against his trial just as Noah had warned his people against him.

Lessons

  • The enormity of the trial of the Anti-Christ.
  • Surviving the trial of the Anti-Christ is ensured through true faith, resorting to Allah Almighty, seeking refuge with Him from his trial in the last Tashahhud, and memorizing the first ten verses of Surat al-Kahf.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) showed great care for his Ummah as he clarified to Muslims some of the traits of the Anti-Christ that any other prophet had not clarified before him.

Explanation in Arabic

يُخبِرُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أصحابه عن الدجال وصفاته وعلاماته بما لم يحدِّث به نبي قبله، فمن ذلك:

أنه أعور العين.

وأن الله تعالى جعل معه مثل الجنة والنار، بحسب رؤيا العين.

لكن جنته نار، وناره جنة، من أطاعه أدخله هذه الجنة فيما يرى الناس، ولكنها نار محرقة، ومن عصاه أدخله النار فيما يراه الناس، ولكنها جنة طيبة،

ثم حذرنا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من فتنته كما حذّر به نوح قومه.

  • عظم فتنة الدجال.
  • النجاة من فتنة الدجال تكون بصدق الإيمان واللجوء إلى الله تعالى والاستعاذة بالله منه في التشهد الأخير، وحفظ عشر آيات من أول سورة الكهف.
  • شدة حرص النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على أمته، حيث بين للمسلمين من صفات الدجال ما لم يبينه نبي قبله.

May I not inform you about the Dajjal what no Apostle of Allah narrated to his people? He would be blind and he would bring along with him an Image of Paradise and Hell-Fire and what he would call as Paradise that would be Hell-Fire and I warn you as Noah warned his people.
