Meaning of the Word Maseeh (Messiah)
There are over fifty scholarly comments on the meaning of the
word Maseeh (Messiah). They said that this word is applied
both to the Truthful One [True Messiah, i.e., ‘Eesa (Jesus)] and
to the misleading liar [the “antichrist” or Dajjaal]. The
Messiah is the Truthful One, ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus the son
of Mary), the Messiah of guidance, who healed those who
were born blind and lepers, and brought the dead to life by
Allah’s Leave. The false messiah (al-maseeh al-dajjaal) is the
liar who leads people astray, the messiah of misguidance who
will tempt people by means of the signs that he is given, such
as bringing down rain, reviving the earth to bring forth
vegetation, and other “miracles.”
So Allah has created two messiahs, who are opposites of one
another. The scholars said that the reason why the Dajjaal is
called maseeh (a “messiah”) is because one of his eyes is
mamsooh (lit. “wiped”; smooth or abraded, i.e., he will be
blind or defective in one eye). Or it was said that it is because
he will survey or travel throughout the earth (yamsah) in
forty days… The former view is more correct, because of what
was said in the hadeeth narrated by Muslim (no. .//0) from
Anas ibn Maalik, who said: “The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘The Dajjaal will be blind ( mamsooh) in one eye, and between
his eyes will be written ‘kaafir’…’”.

Meaning of the Word Dajjaal
The word Dajjaal is taken from the expression “Dajala al-ba’eer
(he smeared the camel)”, referring to when they
covered it with tar. The root dajala means to mix. The word
dajala is used to mean deliberately confusing matters and
being vague and ambiguous, The Dajjaal is the one who
speaks in vagaries, who tells many lies and deceives many
people. The word “Dajjaal” became a title given to the lying,
one-eyed, false messiah. The Dajjaal is so called because he
will conceal his kufr from the people by lying to them,
deceiving them and confusing them.

Description of the Dajjaal, and the Ahaadeeth
Narrated Concerning Him
The Dajjaal will be a man from among the sons of Adam. He
will have many attributes which were described in the
ahaadeeth to acquaint people with him and to warn them of
his evil. So when he comes, the believers will know him and
will not be misled by him. They will know his features which
the Truthful One (the Prophet) () has told us about. These
features will distinguish him from other people, so that no
one will be deceived by him except those who are ignorant
and whose doom has already been decreed. We ask Allah to
keep us safe and sound.
Among these attributes are: He will be a young man with a
ruddy complexion, short, with thick curly hair, a wide
forehead, and broad upper chest, blind or defective
(mamsooh) in the right eye. This eye will be neither
prominent nor sunken, and will look like a floating grape. His
left eye will be covered with a thick piece of flesh growing at
the edge of his eye. Written between his eyes will be “Kaaf
faa’ raa’ () (K-F-R)”, in separate (Arabic) letters, or
“kaafir ()”, with the letters joined. This will be read by
every Muslim, literate or illiterate. Another of his
characteristics will be that he will be sterile, with no children
born to him. The following are some of the saheeh ahaadeeth
in which the above attributes are mentioned. These ahaadeeth
form part of the evidence (daleel) concerning the emergence
of the Dajjaal: From ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar (), who said:
“The Messenger of Allah () said:
5

www.islamhouse.com
‘Whilst I was sleeping, I saw myself performing Tawaaf
around the Ka’bah, when I saw a dark man with straight
hair, standing between two other men, with water
dripping from his head. I asked: “Who is this?” They
said: “The son of Maryam.” Then I turned and saw a
ruddy-complexioned man, well built, with curly hair,
blind in his right eye, with his eye looking like a floating
grape. I asked: “Who is this?” They said: “This is the
Dajjaal.” The person who looks most like him is Ibnu
Qatan.’” (Narrated by al-/ukhaari, no. 01234 Ibn Qatan
was a man from /anu Mustalaq from Khuzaa’ah).
It was also narrated from Ibn ‘Umar () that the Messenger of
Allah () mentioned the Dajjaal to the people and said:
“Allah is not one-eyed, but the false messiah (al-maseeh
al-dajjaal) is one-eyed, blind or defective in his right eye,
with his eye looking like a floating grape…” (narrated by
al-/ukhaari, no. 9:3;).
In the lengthy hadeeth narrated by al-Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan
() it says:
“The Messenger of Allah () mentioned the Dajjaal one
morning. Sometimes he described him as insignificant
and sometimes he described him as so significant that
we thought that he was in the cluster of date-palm
trees…”
One of the features of the Dajjaal that he described was:
6

www.islamhouse.com
“He will be a young man with very curly hair, with his
eye floating. It is as if he looks like ‘Abd al-‘Uzza ibn
Qatan.” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 13)
It was narrated from ‘Ubaadah ibn al-Saamit () that the
Messenger of Allah () said:
“I have told you so much about the Dajjaal that I fear
you will not understand. The Dajjaal will be a short man,
pigeon-toed, with curly hair. He will be one-eyed, with
his eye neither prominent nor sunken. If you become
confused about him, then remember that your Lord is not
one-eyed.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, no. 9@09. This
hadeeth is saheeh – Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, no.
;11).
Abu Hurayrah () said: “The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘… as for the false messiah, he will be one-eyed, with a
wide forehead and broad upper chest, and he will be
hunchbacked…’” (Narrated by Ahmad, no. @10;).
Hudhayfah () said: “The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘The Dajjaal will be one-eyed, blind or defective in his
left eye, with thick hair. He will have with him a
paradise and a hell, but his hell will be a paradise and
his paradise will be a hell.’” (Narrated by Muslim, no.
1).
According to the hadeeth of Anas (), the Prophet () said:
“No Prophet was sent but he warned his people about
the one-eyed liar. He is one-eyed, but your Lord is not
7

www.islamhouse.com
one-eyed, and between his eyes will be written ‘kaafir.’”
(Narrated by al-/ukhaari, no. 01D3).
According to another report:
“Written between his eyes will be ‘kaaf faa’ raa’.’”
(Muslim, no. 1:D)
According to a report narrated by Hudhayfah,
“This will be read by every believer, literate or
illiterate.” (Muslim, no. 19).
From the apparent meaning, this writing will be real, and the
fact that some will see it whilst others will not, and that
illiterate people will read it, is not problematic.
“This is because Allah causes people to understand
something when looking at it, as He wills and when He
wills. So the believer will see this with his insight, even
if he is illiterate, and the kaafir will not be able to see it,
even if he is literate. /y the same token, the believer will
see with his insight evidence that the kaafir will not see.
Allah will enable the believer to understand without
him being literate, because at that time, extraordinary
things will be happening.” (Fath al-/aari by Ibn Hajar al-
‘Asqallaani, :9F:22)
Al-Nawawi said:
“The correct view according to those who studied this
issue is that this writing should be taken literally, as
being real writing which Allah will create as a sign, one
of the definitive proofs that (the Dajjaal) is a kaafir and a
liar, to expose his falsehood. Allah will show this sign to
8

www.islamhouse.com
every Muslim, literate or illiterate, and will conceal it
from everyone whom He decrees is doomed or whom He
wants to test. There is no reason why this should be
impossible.” (Sharh al-Nawawi li Saheeh Muslim, :3F02).
Another of his attributes was mentioned in the hadeeth of
Faatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her), in the
story of al-Jassaasah, in which Tameem al-Daari () said:
“So we rushed to the monastery, where we saw the most
enormous man we had ever seen, fettered with the most
chains we had ever seen.” (Narrated by Muslim, no.
191).
‘Imraan ibn Husayn () said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah
() say:
‘From the time of the creation of Adam until the Hour
begins, there will never be a bigger creation than the
Dajjaal.’” (Narrated by Muslim, 19D).
The Dajjaal will not have any children, as stated in the
hadeeth of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (), who described what
happened between him and Ibn Sayyaad, who said to him:
“Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah () say that he
will have no children? …” Abu Sa’eed said, ‘I said:
‘Ges…’” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 12D).
From the reports quoted above, we may note that some of
them describe his right eye as being blind or defective, and
some describe his left eye as being blind or defective. Both
accounts are saheeh. Some of the scholars sought to reconcile
these reports. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad said: “Both eyes of the Dajjaal
will be defective, because all the reports are saheeh. His right
9

www.islamhouse.com
eye will be the one that is abraded (mamsooh) and dull,
unable to see, as stated in the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar. And his
left eye will be the one that is covered with a thick fold of
skin, and will also be defective.” So he will have a defect in
both his right eye and his left eye; each of them will be blind,
i.e., defective, because the Arabic word used in the hadeeth,
a’war, is used to describe anything that is defective and is
especially used to describe the eyes if they are impaired. One
eye will be non-functional and the other will be defective.”
Al-Nawawi agreed with this reconciliation suggested by al-
Qaadi ‘Iyaad, and al-Qurtubi also approved of it.

Where the Dajjaal will Emerge
The Dajjaal will emerge from the direction of the east, from
Khurasaan, from among the Jews of Isfahaan. Then he will
travel throughout the earth and will leave no city without
entering it, apart from Makkah and Madeenah, which he will
not be able to enter because the angels are guarding them.
According to the hadeeth of Faatimah bint Qays (may Allah
be pleased with her), the Prophet () said concerning the
Dajjaal:
“He will (emerge) from the direction of the Syrian sea or
from the direction of the Gemeni sea… No, rather from
the east…” – and he pointed towards the east. (Narrated
by Muslim, no. 13).
Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq () said: “The Messenger of Allah ()
told us:
“The Dajjaal will emerge from a land in the east called
Khurasaan.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, no. :09. Classed
as saheeh by al-Albaani, Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer,
hadeeth 99D3).
Anas () said: “The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘The Dajjaal will emerge from among the Jews of
Isfahaan, and with him will be seventy thousand Jews,
wearing crowns.’” (Narrated by Ahmad, no. :301).
11

www.islamhouse.com
Places that the Dajjaal will Never Enter
It is forbidden for the Dajjaal to enter Makkah or Madeenah
when he emerges at the end of time, because of the saheeh
ahaadeeth narrated to that effect. As far as other places are
concerned, he will enter them one after another. In the
hadeeth of Faatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with
her), it says:
“(He will say): ‘I almost have permission to emerge.
Then I will emerge and will travel throughout the earth
for forty days, and I shall not leave any town without
entering it, apart from Makkah and Madeenah, which I
will be prevented from entering because every time I try
to enter, there will be an angel with an unsheathed
sword in his hand, preventing me from entering. On
every gate there will be angels defending them.’”
(Narrated by Muslim, no. 13)
It was also reported that the Dajjaal will not enter the mosque
of Sinai, or Masjid al-Aqsaa (at Jerusalem). Imaam Ahmad
(no. //.@/) narrated that Junaadah ibn Umayyah al-Azdi said:
“I came to a man from among the Companions of the Prophet
() and said to him: ‘Tell me a hadeeth that you heard from
the Messenger of Allah () about the Dajjaal.’ He mentioned
the hadeeth, and said,
‘He will stay among you for forty days, during which he
will go to every place (on the earth) apart from four
mosques: Masjid al-Haraam (in Makkah), the mosque of
Madeenah, the (mosque of) Sinai and Masjid al-Aqsaa.’”
12

www.islamhouse.com
The Followers of the Dajjaal
Most of the followers of the Dajjaal will be from among the
Jews, Persians and Turks, and a mixture of other people,
mostly Bedouins and women. Imaam Muslim narrated in his
Saheeh (./C@) from Anas ibn Maalik () that the Messenger of
Allah () said:
“The followers of the Dajjaal from among the Jews of
Isfahaan will number seventy thousand, wearing heavy,
striped garments.” According to a report narrated by Imaam
Ahmad, “Seventy thousand Jews, wearing crowns.”
(hadeeth no. :301).
According to the hadeeth of Abu Bakr referred to above: “He
will be followed by people with faces like burnished shields.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, no. /0CD).
With regard to the Bedouin being followers of the Dajjaal, this
is because many of them are ignorant. With regard to women,
this is because they are easily swayed, and because many of
them are ignorant.
It was reported that Ibn ‘Umar () said: the Prophet () said:
“The Dajjaal will come to this pond in Marriqanaat – a
valley in Madeenah – and most of those who go out to him
will be women, until a man will come to his mother in law,
his mother, his daughter, his sister and his aunt, and will tie
them up strongly for fear that they will go out to him.”
(Narrated by Ahmad, no. 12DD)
13

www.islamhouse.com
The Fitnah of the Dajjaal
The fitnah of the Dajjaal will be the greatest fitnah from the
time Allah created Adam until the Hour begins. This will be
because of the mighty miracles that Allah will create with
him, which will dazzle people’s minds and amaze them. It
was reported that he will have a paradise and a hell with him,
but his paradise will be his hell and his hell will be his
paradise. He will have rivers of water and mountains of
bread. He will command the sky to send down rain, and it
will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth
vegetation and it will do so. The treasures of the earth will
follow him, and he will travel rapidly, like clouds driven by
the wind. And he will do other extraordinary feats. All of that
was mentioned in the saheeh ahaadeeth. Imaam Muslim
narrated in his Saheeh that Hudhayfah () said: “The
‘The Dajjaal will be one-eyed, blind in his left eye, and
will have thick hair. He will have a paradise and a hell
with him, but his paradise will be a hell and his hell will
be a paradise.’” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 1)
Muslim also narrated that Hudhayfah () said: “The
‘I know what the Dajjaal will bring with him: he will
have two rivers flowing. One will clearly look like water
and the other will clearly look like blazing fire. If any
one of you sees that, let him choose the river which looks
like fire, then let him close his eyes and lower his head
14

www.islamhouse.com
and drink from it, for it will be cool water.’” (Narrated by
Muslim, no. 19)
In the hadeeth of al-Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan about the Dajjaal,
it is reported that the Sahaabah said:
“O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on the
earth?” He said, “Forty days: one day like a year, one day
like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the
days like your days.” … They said, “How fast will he
travel through the earth? ”He said: “Like the clouds
when they are driven by the wind. He will come to some
people and call them, and they will believe in him and
respond to him. Then he will command the sky to rain,
and the earth to bring forth vegetation, and their cattle
will come back to them in the evening, with their humps
very high, and their udders full of milk, and their flanks
stretched. Then he will come to another people and will
call them, but they will reject him. So he will leave them
and they will be stricken with famine, with none of their
wealth in their hands. He will pass by ruins and will say:
‘/ring forth your treasure!’ – and the treasure will follow
him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man who is
brimming with youth, and will strike him with a sword
and cut him in two, then (he will put the pieces apart
from one another) the distance of an archer from his
target. Then he will call him, and the young man will
come forward smiling, with his face shining.” (narrated
by Muslim, 13)
Al-Bukhaari narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri () that this
man whom the Dajjaal will kill will be one of the best people,
15

www.islamhouse.com
who will go out to the Dajjaal from the city of the Messenger
of Allah (), and will say to the Dajjaal:
“I bear witness that you are the Dajjaal of whom the
Messenger of Allah () told us. ”The Dajjaal will say (to
the people): “What do you think – if I kill this man then
bring him back to life, will you have any doubts?” They
will say: “No.” So he will kill him, then bring him back
to life. Then he (the believing man) will say, “/y Allah, I
have never been more sure about you than I am today.”
The Dajjaal will want to kill him but will not be
permitted to. (al-/ukhaari, no. 01DD)
According to the hadeeth of Umaamah al-Baahili (), the
Prophet () said of the Dajjaal:
“Part of his fitnah will be that he will say to a /edouin:
‘Do you think that if I resurrect your father and mother
for you that you will testify that I am your lord?’ He will
say: ‘Ges.’ So two devils will appear to him in the image
of his father and mother, saying: ‘O my son, follow him
for he is your lord.’” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, no. ;20@.

Sagheer, hadeeth @@1).

Protection Against the Fitnah of the Dajjaal
The Prophet (p) has taught his ummah about that which will
protect them against the fitnah of the false messiah (al-maseeh
al-dajjaal). He left his ummah on a path that is clear, and no
one deviates from it except the one who is doomed. He did
not leave any good thing without pointing it out to his
ummah, or any evil thing without warning them against it.
Among the things which he warned us against was the fitnah
of the Dajjaal, because it is the greatest fitnah which the
ummah will face until the Hour comes. Every Prophet warned
his ummah against the one-eyed Dajjaal, but Muhammad ()
was the only Prophet who warned his ummah more about
him. Allah told him many of the attributes of the Dajjaal so
that he could warn his ummah. The Dajjaal will undoubtedly
emerge among this ummah, because it is the last ummah, and
Muhammad () is the Seal of the Prophets. The following are
some of the Prophetic guidelines which the Chosen Prophet
() set out for his ummah so that it may be protected against
this mighty fitnah, from which we ask Allah to save us and
grant us refuge:
0. Adhering to Islam, having the right faith and learning the
Names and Most Beautiful Attributes of Allah which are not
shared by anyone else. One should know that the Dajjaal will
be a human being who will eat and drink, and that Allah is far
above that; the Dajjaal will be one-eyed but Allah is not one-eyed;
no one can see his Lord until he dies, but the Dajjaal will
be seen by all people, believers and kaafirs alike, when he
emerges.
17

www.islamhouse.com
/. Seeking refuge with Allah from the fitnah of the Dajjaal,
especially in salaah (prayer). This has been narrated in the
saheeh ahaadeeth, such as that narrated from Umm al-
Mu’mineen ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the
wife of the Prophet (), who said that the Messenger of Allah
() used to pray in his salaah:
“Allahumma inni a’oodhu bika min ‘adhaab al-qabri, wa
a’oodhu bika min fitnat il-maseeh il-dajjaal, wa a’oodhu
bika min fitnat il-mahyaa wa fitnat il-mamaat.
Allahumma inni a’oodhu bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram
(O Allah, I seek refuge with Gou from the
torment of the grave, I seek refuge with Gou from the
fitnah of the Dajjaal, and I seek refuge with Gou from
the trials of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with
Gou from sin and debt).” (Narrated by al-/ukhaari, no.
@3D)
Muslim narrated that Abu Hurayrah () said: “The
‘When any one of you says Tashahhud, let him seek
refuge with Allah from four things, and say:
“Allahumma inni a’oodhi bika min ‘adhaab jahannam
wa min ‘adhaab al-qabri wa min fitnat il-mahyaa wa’l-mamaat
wa min sharri fitnat al-maseeh al-dajjaal (O
Allah, I seek refuge with Gou from the torment of Hell,
from the torment of the grave, from the trials of life and
death, and from the evil of the fitnah of the Dajjaal).”’”
(Narrated by Muslim, no. D;)
C. Memorizing aayaat from Soorat al-Kahf. The Prophet ()
commanded us to recite the opening verses of Soorat al-Kahf
18

www.islamhouse.com
against the Dajjaal. According to some reports, the final verses
of this soorah were mentioned. This means reciting the first
ten verses or the last ten. Among the ahaadeeth narrated
concerning this was the lengthy hadeeth narrated by Muslim
from al-Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan, in which it says:
“Whoever among you sees him (the Dajjaal), let him
recite against him the opening verses of Soorat al-Kahf.”
(Hadeeth 13).
Muslim (no. 0CE/) narrated from Abu’l-Dardaa’ that the
Prophet () said:
“Whoever memorizes ten aayaat from the beginning of
Soorat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal” – i.e.,
from his fitnah. Muslim said: “Shu’bah said, ‘from the
end of al-Kahf.’ Hammaam said, ‘from the beginning of
al-Kahf.’”
Al-Nawawi (Sharh Saheeh Muslim, DFGC) said:
“The reason for this is because at the beginning of (this
soorah), mention is made of wonders and signs, and
whoever ponders them will not be deceived by the fitnah of
the Dajjaal. And at the end of this soorah, Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
‘Do then those who disbelieve think that they can take
My slaves as awliyaa’ (lords etc.) besides Me?’ [al-Kahf
:3::2L.”
This is one of the special features of Soorat al-Kahf. There are
ahaadeeth which encourage reading it, especially on Fridays.
19

www.islamhouse.com
Al-Haakim narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri () that the
Prophet () said:
“Whoever recites Soorat al-Kahf on Friday, it will be a
light for him from one Friday to the next.” (al-
Mustadrak, F903. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani,
Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, hadeeth 09;0)
Undoubtedly Soorat al-Kahf is of great significance,
containing great aayaat, such as the story of the People of the
Cave, the story of Moosa and al-Khidr, the story of Dhu’l-
Qarnayn and his building the dam to hold back Ya’jooj and
Ma’jooj, proof of the resurrection and the blowing of the
Trumpet, and explanation of those whose deeds are most lost,
who are those who think that they are guided when in fact
they are misguided and blind. Every Muslim should strive to
read this soorah, and to memorize it and read it repeatedly,
especially on the best day on which the sun rises, namely
Friday.
E. Fleeing from the Dajjaal and keeping far away from him.
The best way is to live in Makkah or Madeenah, and the
places which the Dajjaal will not enter. When the Dajjaal
emerges, Muslims should keep far away from him, because of
the confusion he will cause and the mighty wonders that he
will have with him, which Allah will cause to happen at his
hands in order to test mankind. A man will come to him,
thinking that he is a strong believer, then he will follow the
Dajjaal. We ask Allah to grant us and all the Muslims refuge
from his fitnah.
20

www.islamhouse.com
Imaam Ahmad (0G00I), Abu Dawood (C@D/) and al-Haakim
(EFC0) narrated from ‘Imraan ibn Husayn () that the Prophet
() said:
“Whoever hears of the Dajjaal, let him keep far away
from him, for a man will come to him and think that he
is telling the truth because of the wonders that are sent
with him.”
21

www.islamhouse.com
The Death of the Dajjaal
The Dajjaal will die at the hands of the Messiah ‘Eesa ibn
Maryam (), as is indicated by the saheeh ahaadeeth. The
Dajjaal will appear on earth and will gain many followers,
spreading his fitnah far and wide. No one will escape his
fitnah except a few of the believers. At that point, ‘Eesa ibn
Maryam () will descend to the eastern minaret in
Damascus, and the believing slaves of Allah will gather
around him. He will lead them towards the Dajjaal, who at
the time of the descent of ‘Eesa () will be heading for Bayt
al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). ‘Eesa will catch up with him at the gate
of Ludd (Lod), a place in Palestine near Bayt al-Maqdis. When
the Dajjaal sees him, he will start to melt like salt melting in
water, but ‘Eesa () will say to him: “I have some business
with you, you will not get away from me.” Then he will catch
up with him and will kill him with his spear. His followers
will flee, pursued by the Muslims, who will kill them, and
trees and rocks will say: ‘O Muslim, O slave of Allah, there is
Jew behind me – come and kill him!” – apart from the
Gharqad (box thorn), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.
The following are some of the ahaadeeth narrated about the
death of the Dajjaal and his followers: Muslim (no. ./CC)
narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased
with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘The Dajjaal will emerge among my ummah and will
stay for forty… Then Allah will send ‘Eesa ibn Maryam,
who looks like ‘Urwah ibn Mas’ood, and he will pursue
him and kill him.”
22

www.islamhouse.com
Imaam Ahmad (no. 0EG/L) and al-Tirmidhi (no. /0@L) narrated
that Majma’ ibn Jaariyah al-Ansaari () said: “I heard the
Messenger of Allah () say:
‘The son of Maryam will kill the Dajjaal at the gate of
Ludd.”
Muslim (no. .//I) narrated a lengthy hadeeth from al-
Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan () about the Dajjaal, in which the
story of the descent of ‘Eesa and his killing the Dajjaal are
mentioned. In this hadeeth the Prophet () said:
“… Every kaafir who will smell the fragrance of (‘Eesa)
will die, and his fragrance will reach as far as he will be
able to see. He will then search for him (the Dajjaal)
until he catches up with him at the gate of Ludd, where
he will kill him.”
Imaam Ahmad narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah () said:
“The Messenger of Allah () said:
‘The Dajjaal will emerge at a time when religious
commitment is low and knowledge has decreased…
Then ‘Eesa ibn Maryam will descend just before dawn
and will call people, saying: ‘O people, what is stopping
