Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ نَبِيٌّ قَوْمَهُ، إِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ، وَإِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ مَعَهُ بِمِثَالِ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَالَّتِي يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا الْجَنَّةُ‏.‏ هِيَ النَّارُ، وَإِنِّي أُنْذِرُكُمْ كَمَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ نُوحٌ قَوْمَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abu Nuʿaym narrated to us: Shayban narrated to us, from Yahya, from Abu Salama, who said: I heard Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Shall I tell you something about the Dajjal that no prophet has told his people? He is one-eyed, and he will bring something resembling Paradise and the Fire. What he calls Paradise is in fact the Fire. I warn you about him just as Noah warned his people.’

Translation notes
  • Rendered بمثال as something resembling Paradise and the Fire, preserving the distinction between appearance and reality.
