Riyad al-Salihin
0:03
From the words of the Master of the Messengers
0:06
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:09
The Chapter on Miscellaneous Narrations and Anecdotes
0:17
And on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:20
On the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:
0:24
The Dajjal will emerge.
0:26
Then a man from among the believers turns toward him.
0:30
He receives it from the guardians.
0:32
The weapons of the Dajjal
0:34
Then they will say to him
0:36
Where are you heading?
0:38
He then says
0:40
I am heading toward this person who has come out.
0:42
They will say to him
0:44
Or do you not believe in our Lord?
0:47
He then says
0:49
Nothing is hidden from our Lord.
0:51
They will say
0:53
Kill him.
0:55
Then some of them say to others
0:57
Has your Lord not forbidden you?
0:59
That you should kill anyone other than him.
1:01
Then they set off with him.
1:03
towards the Dajjal
1:05
When the believer sees him, he says:
1:07
O people!
1:09
This Dajjal is indeed...
1:11
The one whom the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, mentioned.
1:13
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:15
Then the Dajjal will command that he be dealt with.
1:17
He then clarifies.
1:19
He says
1:21
Take it and learn it by heart.
1:23
He would then expand his back and his abdomen.
1:25
Striking.
1:27
He says
1:28
Or do you not believe in me?
1:30
He says
1:32
You are the false Messiah.
1:34
Then he will be commanded [to be taken] to it.
1:36
Then he is sawed with a saw.
1:38
From the parting of his hair.
1:40
Until he spreads his legs apart.
1:42
Then the Dajjal will proceed.
1:44
Between the two pieces.
1:46
Then He will say to him, "Rise."
1:48
He then stands upright.
1:50
Then he says to him
1:52
Do you believe in me?
1:54
He says
1:56
I have only gained deeper insight into you.
1:58
Then he says
2:00
O people!
2:02
He does not do to me
2:04
by any of the people.
2:06
Then the Dajjal will seize it.
2:08
So that he may slaughter it.
2:10
Then Allah will place between his neck
2:12
To the point that you received it as copper.
2:14
He is unable to do so.
2:16
a way to reach Him.
2:18
Then He will take hold of him by his hands and his feet.
2:20
He casts it away.
2:22
So people think that it is only
2:24
He cast him into the Fire.
2:26
It was merely cast into
2:28
Paradise
2:30
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
2:32
This
2:34
The person with the greatest testimony among the people.
2:36
before the Lord of the worlds.
2:38
It was recorded by Muslim.
2:41
Al-Bukhari narrated it.
2:43
Some of it is in the sense of
2:45
The frontier outposts.
2:47
They are the guardians and the vanguard.
2:49
Before it.
2:52
That is, from his direction.
2:54
Where do you intend to go?
2:56
That is to say, what is your intended meaning?
2:59
He should slaughter it.
3:01
Meaning that it is stretched across his stomach.
3:03
Courage
3:05
That is, the wound to the head and the face.
3:07
He points out
3:09
That is, he spreads it.
3:11
Its various aspects.
3:13
That is, the parting of his hair, which
3:15
He would part his hair in the middle.
3:17
It is the middle of it.
3:19
His collarbone.
3:21
It is the bone located between the hollow of the throat and the collarbone.
3:23
And the shoulder from both sides.
3:26
Among the benefits of the hadith
3:29
These descriptions are indicative of his falsehood.
3:31
Through his supplication of Lordship.
3:33
The attributes of the Lord.
3:35
Blessed and Exalted is He.
3:37
Attributes of perfection and majesty.
3:39
befitting Him, glory be to Him.
3:41
Meanwhile, regarding the descriptions of the Dajjal
3:43
It indicates deficiency and incapacity.
3:45
He is with him in his supplication.
3:47
The Lordship of Allah and the origination of the creation.
3:49
Miraculous events occurring at his hands.
3:51
He is unable to conceal his flaws.
3:53
The Muslim finds enlightenment.
3:55
During the onset of tribulations.
3:57
It has been authentically narrated from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
3:59
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:01
He is thus able to recognize the Dajjal.
4:03
with His aforementioned attributes.
4:05
In the authentic Sunnah
4:07
It is for this reason that a man says
4:09
The believer in relation to the Dajjal.
4:11
O people!
4:13
This Dajjal, who
4:15
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, mentioned...
4:17
It is appropriate
4:20
The servant must exercise patience and steadfastness.
4:22
upon enduring persecution for the sake of Allah
4:24
Even if he were to sever
4:26
The Dajjal will weaken.
4:28
Regarding the performance of that which is not possible.
4:30
Allah is the One who brought about his action.
4:32
And for that reason, he is unable
4:34
The killing of a believing man is a grave sin.
4:36
Secondly, in that he makes
4:38
Allah is between his neck and his jugular vein.
4:40
[It will be transformed] into copper at his collarbone.
4:42
The steadfastness of a man.
4:45
The believer is upon Islam and the Sunnah.
4:47
The beginning of the collapse.
4:49
The camp of the Dajjal, where
4:51
He is unable to do anything.
4:53
by anything else thereafter
4:55
How great is the reward of a man.
4:57
The believer who remains steadfast
4:59
In the presence of tyrants and impostors.
5:01
And he shall not apostatize.
5:03
concerning his religion and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace be upon him.
5:05
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
5:07
The Dajjal possesses
5:10
an army and equipment
5:12
For that reason, He encompasses it.
5:14
The frontier guards, and they are
5:16
The guards and the vanguard.
5:18
And on the authority of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, may Allah be pleased with him.
5:21
May Allah be pleased with him, he said:
5:23
He did not ask.
5:25
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
5:27
Regarding the Dajjal, he spoke at great length.
5:29
Among the things I asked him about.
5:31
And he said to me
5:33
What harm could it possibly do you?
5:35
I said that they are saying
5:37
Indeed, he is with him.
5:39
A mountain of bread and a river of water.
5:41
He said
5:43
He is of less significance to Allah.
5:45
Among these is that which is unanimously agreed upon.
5:47
It will not harm you.
5:51
Meaning, that which causes you hardship.
5:53
He is of less significance to Him.
5:55
May Allah protect us from that.
5:57
Meaning that the Dajjal is the most contemptible of beings.
5:59
That Allah may ordain that.
6:01
The wealth that he possesses.
6:03
A verse that serves as evidence of his truthfulness.
6:05
Especially since He has established
6:07
Allah is the sign of his falsehood.
6:09
A manifest phenomenon in its deficiency and ugliness.
6:11
His appearance, and not
6:13
Its meaning is that he does not possess it.
6:15
Anything of that nature.
6:18
Among the benefits of the hadith
6:20
It is recommended to perform these acts frequently.
6:22
regarding the inquiry about a matter that one fears
6:24
And knowing the details thereof.
6:26
So that he does not fall into it.
6:28
Establishing that it has occurred
6:31
Miraculous occurrences performed at the hands of
6:33
the Dajjal, but it is
6:35
It increases the believer in insight.
6:37
And with certainty, harboring no doubt.
6:39
Except for those in whose hearts
6:41
The illness of attainment
6:44
The supernatural feats performed at the hands of the Dajjal.
6:46
The verse that belied him.
6:48
And his claim.
6:51
Narrated by Anas, may Allah be pleased with him
6:53
He said:
6:55
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
6:57
There is no prophet
6:59
...without having already issued a warning.
7:01
His Ummah will be the one-eyed liar.
7:03
Behold, it is indeed
7:05
He is one-eyed, while your Lord,
7:07
the Almighty and Majestic, is not
7:09
one-eyed. Written
7:11
between his eyes
7:13
is 'Kaf-Fa-Ra' (disbeliever).
7:15
Agreed upon.
7:17
Among the benefits
7:20
of the hadith:
7:23
The report of the one-eyed, lying Dajjal (Antichrist)
7:25
who was condemned by all the prophets,
7:27
and all of whom warned
7:29
their nations of his tribulation.
7:31
It is part of the methodology of the prophets
7:33
in calling people to Allah
7:35
to define the path of the criminals,
7:37
to oppose it,
7:39
to warn against it, and to clarify it.
7:41
The Dajjal bears
7:44
the evidence of his falsehood and deficiency
7:46
in his physical creation,
7:48
for he is one-eyed,
7:50
like a protruding grape.
7:52
And written upon his forehead
7:54
in disjointed letters
7:56
is a literal inscription
7:58
that Allah the Exalted has made
8:00
one of the signs
8:02
indicating his falsehood,
8:04
his disbelief, and his deficiency.
8:06
Allah the Exalted will make it visible
8:08
to every Muslim, whether literate
8:10
or illiterate.
8:12
This confirms the attribute of two eyes for Allah,
8:14
the Exalted, Lord of the worlds,
8:16
for our Lord, the Almighty and Majestic,
8:18
is not one-eyed.
8:20
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,
8:24
may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
8:26
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
8:30
"Shall I not tell you a hadith
8:32
about the Dajjal,
8:34
the likes of which no prophet has told his people?
8:36
He is one-eyed,
8:38
and he will come with
8:40
what appears to be Paradise and Hellfire;
8:42
so that which he says
8:44
is Paradise
8:46
is in fact Hellfire."
8:48
Agreed upon.
8:51
Among the benefits of the hadith:
8:53
The intense concern of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
8:57
for his Ummah,
8:59
as he clarified to the Muslims
9:01
the characteristics by which we recognize the Dajjal,
9:03
which were not clarified
9:05
by any prophet before him.
9:07
In this hadith
9:09
is an indication of the perfection of the religion,
9:11
its comprehensiveness,
9:13
and its lack of need for anything else.
9:16
It is a clarification that the Ummah of Muhammad,
9:18
peace be upon him,
9:20
is the best of nations and the final one.
9:22
On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both,
9:27
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
9:29
mentioned the Dajjal
9:31
while among the people,
9:33
and said:
9:35
"Allah is not one-eyed.
9:37
Verily, the Masih al-Dajjal (the False Messiah)
9:39
is blind in his right eye,
9:41
as if his eye
9:43
is a protruding grape."
9:45
Agreed upon.
9:47
"While among the people"
9:50
means among the people.
9:52
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
9:56
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
9:58
said:
10:00
"The Hour will not be established
10:02
until the Muslims fight
10:04
the Jews,
10:06
until the Jew hides
10:08
behind the rock
10:10
and the tree,
10:12
and the rock and the tree will say:
10:14
'O Muslim,
10:16
this is a Jew
10:18
behind me, come
10:20
and kill him,'
10:22
except for the Gharqad tree,
10:24
for it is one of the trees of the Jews."
10:26
Agreed upon.
10:28
The Gharqad
10:31
is a type of thorny tree
10:33
known in the lands
10:35
of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).
10:37
Among the benefits of the hadith:
10:40
The Prophetic address
10:42
encompasses those addressed
10:44
and those after them who are characterized
10:46
by their attributes.
10:49
The persistence of Islam until the end
10:51
of time.
10:53
Contemplate the killing of the Jew
10:55
and the cleansing of the earth from their evil,
10:57
and that the Hour will not be established
10:59
until this is fulfilled.
11:01
Therefore,
11:03
attempts to establish their state
11:05
in the Blessed Land
11:07
will end in utter failure.
11:09
A warning that
11:12
the generation that will kill the Jews
11:14
and destroy their schemes completely
11:16
is the Muslim generation
11:18
that worships none but
11:20
its Lord,
11:22
not the trees and stones, for that
11:24
generation, "O Muslim,
11:26
O servant of Allah,
11:28
this is a Jew behind me,
11:30
come and kill him."
11:32
The generation that will restore to Islam
11:34
its lost glory
11:36
and achieve its hoped-for aspiration
11:38
is a Rabbani (divinely-oriented) generation,
11:40
like the first exemplary generation.
11:42
Therefore,
11:44
the quality of servitude was realized in them
11:46
in its true form.
11:49
And that is why he addressed them,
11:51
as he, peace be upon him, said
11:53
to his Companions, while he intended
11:55
that generation;
11:57
so the address was valid
11:59
because that generation follows the path of the Companions
12:01
in creed, methodology,
12:03
conduct, and upbringing.
12:07
Riyad al-Salihin
