Abd
Allaah ibn 'Amr said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjaal will appear in my
Ummah, and will remain for forty - "I cannot say whether he meant forty
days, forty months or forty years." - Then Allaah will send Jesus
(alayhi-salam), the son of Mary, who will resemble 'Urwah ibn Mas'ood. He will
chase the Dajjaal and kill him. Then the people will live for seven years
during which there will be no enmity between any two persons.
Then
Allaah will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria, which will take the
soul of everyone who has the slightest speck of good or faith in his heart.
Even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, the wind would reach
him there and take his soul.
Only the
most wicked people will be left; they will be as careless as birds, with the
characteristics of beasts, and will have no concern for right and wrong. Satan
will come to them in the form of man and will say, "Don't you
respond?" They will say, "What do you order us to do?" He will
order them to worship idols, and in spite of that they will have sustenance in
abundance, and lead comfortable lives.
"Then
the Trumpet will be blown, and everyone will tilt their heads to hear it. The
first one to hear it will be a man busy repairing a trough for his camels. He
and everyone else will be struck down. Then Allaah will send (or send down)
rain like dew, and the bodies of the people (i.e. the dead) will grow out of
it. Then the trumpet will be sounded again, and the people will get up and look
around.
Then it
will be said, "O people, go to your Lord and account for yourselves."
It will be said, "Bring out the people of Hell," and it will be
asked, "How many are there?" - the answer will come: "Nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand." "On that day a child
will grow old and the shin will be laid bare." [al-Qalam (68):42] "
[Muslim] [1]
Abu
Hurairah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The son of Mary will come down
as a just leader. He will break the cross, and kill the pigs. Peace will prevail
and people will use their swords as sickles. Every harmful beast will be made
harmless; the sky will send down rain in abundance,and the earth will bring
forth its blessings.
A child
will play with a fox and not come to any harm; a wolf will graze with sheep and
a lion with cattle, without harming them.' " [Ahmad] [2]
Abu
Hurairah said,
"The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'By Him in Whose hand is my soul,
surely the son of Mary will come down among you as a just ruler. He will break
the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah. Wealth will be in such
abundance that no-one will care about it, and a single prostration in prayer
will be better than the world and all that is in it.' "
Abu
Hurairah said,
'If you
wish, recite the Aayah: "And there is none of the People of the Book but
must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgement he will be a
witness against them..." [an-Nisaa' (4):159] ' [Bukhaaree, Muslim] [3]
Abu
Hurairah reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said,
"The
Prophets are like brothers; they have different mothers but their religion is
one. I am the closest of all the people to Jesus son of Mary, because there is
no other Prophet between him and myself. He will come again, and when you see
him, you will recognise him. He is of medium height and his colouring is
reddish-white.
He will
be wearing two garments, and his hair will look wet. He will break the cross,
kill the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and call the people to Islaam. During his
time, Allaah will end every religion and sect other than Islaam, and will
destroy the Dajjaal.
Then
peace and security will prevail on earth, so that lions will graze with camels,
tigers with cattle, and wolves with sheep; children will be able to play with
snakes without coming to any harm. Jesus will remain for forty years, then die,
and the Muslims will pray for him." [Ahmad] [4]
Ibn
Masood reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said,
"On
the night of the Israa' (night journey), I met my father Abraham, Moses and
Jesus, and they discussed the Hour. The matter was referred first to Abraham,
then to Moses, and both said, 'I have no knowledge of it.' Then it was referred
to Jesus, who said, 'No-one knows about its timing except Allaah; what my Lord
told me was that the Dajjaal will appear, and when he sees me he will begin to
melt like lead.
Allaah
will destroy him when he sees me. The Muslims will fight against the Kaafirs,
and even the trees and rocks will say, "O Muslim, there is a Kaafir hiding
beneath me - come and kill him!" Allaah will destroy the Kaafirs, and the
people will return to their own lands.
Then Gog
and Magog will appear from all directions, eating and drinking everything they
find. The people will complain to me, so I will pray to Allaah and He will
destroy them, so that the earth will be filled with their stench.
Allaah
will send rain which will wash their bodies into the sea. My Lord has told me
that when that happens, the Hour will be very close, like a pregnant woman
whose time is due, but her family do not know exactly when she will deliver.'
" [Ahmad, Ibn Maajah] [5]
