First of
all, we will quote the reports which mention the liars and "dajjaals"
who will precede the coming of the Dajjaal, or Antichrist, who will be the last
of them; may Allaah curse them and punish them with Hell-fire.
Jaabir
ibn Samurah said,
"I
heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) say, 'Just before the Hour
there will be many liars.' " Jaabir said, "Be on your guard against them."
[Muslim] [1]
Jaabir
said,
"I
heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) say, 'Just before the Hour
there will be many liars; among them is the one in al-Yamamah, the 'Ansi in
San'a', the one in Himyar, and the Dajjaal. This will be the greatest fitnah.'
" [Ahmad] [2]
Abu
Hurayrah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not come ... until
nearly 30 "dajjaals" (liars) appear, each one claiming to be a
messenger from Allaah.' " [Bukhaaree and Muslim] [3]
Abu
Hurayrah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not come until 30
"dajjaals" appear, each of them claiming to be a messenger from
Allaah, wealth increases, tribulations appear and al-Harj increases.' Someone
asked, 'What is al-Harj?' He said, 'Killing, killing. " [Ahmad] [4]
Abu
Hurayrah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not come until 30
"dajjaals" appear, all of them lying about Allaah and His Messenger.'
" [Abu Daawood] [5]
Abu
Hurayrah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'Just before the Hour, there will
be thirty "dajjaals", each of whom will say, I am a Prophet.' " [Ahmad]
[6]
Abu
Hurayrah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'There will be "dajjaals"
and liars among my Ummah. They will tell you something new, which neither you
nor your forefathers have heard. Be on your guard against them, and do not let
them lead you astray.' " [Ahmad] [7]
Thawbaan
said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'There will be thirty liars among
my Ummah. Each one will claim that he is a prophet; but I am the last of the
Prophets (Seal of the Prophets), and there will be no Prophet after me.' "
[Ahmad] [8]
The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, "Verily before the Day of
Resurrection there will appear the Dajjaal, and thirty or more liars."
[Ahmad] [9]
Ibn 'Umar
said,
"I
heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) say, 'Among my Ummah there
will be more than seventy callers, each of whom will be calling people to
Hell-fire. If I wished, I could tell you their names and tribes.' " [10]
Abu
Bakrah said,
"The
people spoke a great deal against Musaylimah before the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said anything
about him. Then the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) got up to give a
speech and said:
'...as
for this man about whom you have spoken so much - he is one of the thirty liars
who will appear before the Hour, and there is no town which will not feel the
fear of the Antichrist.' " [Ahmad] [11]
In
another version of this report, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)
said, "He is one of the thirty liars who will appear before the Dajjaal.
There is no town which will escape the fear of the Dajjaal, apart from
Madeenah. At that time there will be two angels at every entrance of Madeenah, warding
off the fear of the Antichrist." [12]
Anas ibn
Malik said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The time of the Dajjaal will be
years of confusion. People will believe a liar, and disbelieve one who tells
the truth. People will distrust one who is trustworthy, and trust one who is
treacherous; and the Ruwaybidah will have a say.' Someone asked, 'Who are the
Ruwaybidah?' He said, 'Those who rebel against Allaah and will have a say in
general affairs.' " [Ahmad] [13]
