Chapter on Signs Before the Hour and Mention of the Dajjal

Zujajat al-Masabih 5262Volume 4

English

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Shall I not tell you something about the Dajjal that no prophet told his people? He is one-eyed, and he will bring with him something resembling paradise and fire. What he says is paradise is fire, and I warn you about him as Noah warned his people.”

something about the Dajjal

(1) His statement: “something about the Dajjal”: An-Nawawi said: These hadiths are evidence for the belief of the people of truth regarding the Dajjal’s existence as a specific person with whom Allah tests His servants, granting him abilities within Allah’s power, such as reviving the one he kills, displaying worldly splendor and abundance, having treasures follow him, commanding the sky to rain and the earth to sprout, all by Allah’s power and will. Then Allah renders him powerless, unable to kill that man or others, and Jesus son of Mary kills him. Allah establishes those who believe, and his affair is immensely astonishing, bewildering minds with the speed of his movement across the earth. He does not linger, so the weak cannot scrutinize the signs of his imperfection and falsehood. Hence, prophets warned of his trial and highlighted his defects and proofs of his falsehood. Those granted success are not deceived by him due to these refuting proofs and prior knowledge of his condition. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

قوله

(۱) قوله : حديثا عن الدجال إلخ: قال النووي الله هذه الأحاديث حجة لمذهب أهل الحق في صحة وجوده، وأنه شخص بعينه ابتلى الله به عباده، وأقدره على أشياء من مقدورات الله تعالى من إحياء الميت الذي يقتله، وظهور زهرة الدنيا والخصب معه واتباع كنوز الأرض له، وأمر السماء أن تمطر فتمطر، والأرض أن تنبت، فيقع كل ذلك بقدرة الله تعالى ومشيئته، ثم يعجزه الله تعالى بعد ذلك، فلا يقدر على قتل ذلك الرجل ولا غيره، ويقتله عيسى بن مريم، ويثبت الله الذين آمنوا، وقصته عظيمة جدا تدهش العقول، وتحير الألباب مع سرعة مروره في الأرض، ولا يمكث بحيث يتأمل الضعفاء دلائل الحدوث والنقص فيصدقه من يصدقه في هذه الحالة، ولهذا حذرت الأنبياء من فتنته، ونبهوا على نقصه ودلائل إبطاله، وأما أهل التوفيق فلا يغترون ولا ينخدعون بما فيه؛ لما ذكرناه من الدلائل المكذبة له مع ما سبق لهم من العلم بحاله. كذا في «المرقاة».
