It was narrated that An-Nawwas bin Sam'an said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) mentioned the Dajjal one morning, sometimes describing him as insignificant and sometimes describing him as significant, until we thought that he was in the cluster of date palms. When we went to him in the evening, he could see that in our faces and he said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned the Dajjal this morning, sometimes describing him as insignificant, and sometimes describing him as significant, until we thought that he was in the cluster of date palms.' He said: 'It is something other than the Dajjal that I fear most for you. If he emerges while I am among you, I will deal with him on your behalf, and if he emerges when I am not among you, then each man must deal with him on his own behalf. Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. "'He is a young man with curly hair, and his eye is blind. He most resembles Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the opening Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge in a place between Ash-Sham and Al-'Iraq, and will spread mischief right and left. O slaves of Allah, be steadfast."' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days; a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the rest of the days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the Salat (prayers) of one day be sufficient for us?' He said: 'No. Calculate the time (for prayer).' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how quickly will he travel through the land?' He said: 'Like a cloud driven by the wind. He will come to a people and call them, and they will believe in him, and respond to his call. Then he will command the sky, and it will rain, and he will command the earth, and it will bring forth produce. Their herds will come back to them in the evening with their humps as high as they ever were, and their udders full, and their flanks stretched. "'Then he will come to another people and call them, and they will reject what he says, so he will leave them, and they will be afflicted with drought, with none of their wealth in their hands. He will pass by ruins and say: "Bring forth your treasure," and its treasure will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and strike him with a sword, cutting him in two. He will place the pieces as far apart as a target is from an archer, then he will call him, and he will come with his face gleaming and laughing. "'Then while he is like that, Allah will send Al-Masih the son of Mariam, peace be upon him' who will descend to the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrudh garments placing his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head it (water) will drip, and when he raises it, it will scatter drops like pearls. Every disbeliever whom his breath reaches will die, and his breath will reach as far as he can see. "'He will pursue him (the Dajjal) until he catches him at the gate of Ludd (Lod), and kills him. Then some people whom Allah has protected will come to 'Eisa bin Mariam, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to 'Eisa, peace be upon him: "I have brought forth some slaves of Mine against whom no one will be able to fight; take My slaves to safety in At-Tur .'' '"And Allah will send Ya'juj and Ma'juj, who will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass by the Lake of Tiberias and will drink what is in it, and the last of them will pass it and say: "There was once water here." Then 'Eisa the Prophet of Allah and his companions will be besieged, until the head of the bull of one of them will seem better than one hundred Dinar to one of you today. The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will beseech [Allah], and Allah will send worms in their necks, and in the morning, they will all perish as one. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down to the earth, and they will not find a spot the size of a handspan on earth that is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa, and his companions will beseech Allah, and Allah will send birds like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will carry them and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not be kept out by any house of clay or hair; it will wash the earth and leave it like a mirror. Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and restore your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a pomegranate and shelter beneath its skin. Milk will be blessed until a milch camel will be sufficient for a crowd of people, and a milch cow will be sufficient for a tribe of people, and a milch sheep will be sufficient for a family of people. Then while they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits, taking the soul of every believer and every Muslim. The most evil of people will be left, and they will fornicate like donkeys, and upon them the Hour will come.'"
