حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي النَّاسِ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي لأُنْذِرُكُمُوهُ وَمَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ وَلَقَدْ أَنْذَرَهُ نُوحٌ قَوْمَهُ وَلَكِنِّي سَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ فِيهِ قَوْلاً لَمْ يَقُلْهُ نَبِيٌّ لِقَوْمِهِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ بَعْضُ، أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُوَ يُحَذِّرُهُمْ فِتْنَتَهُ ‏"‏ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَرَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رَبَّهُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَإِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ك ف ر يَقْرَأُهُ مَنْ كَرِهَ عَمَلَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

‘Abd ibn Ḥumayd informed us; ‘Abd al-Razzāq informed us; Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah stood before the people, praised Allah as He deserves, and then mentioned the Dajjāl. He said: “I am warning you about him. There has been no prophet who did not warn his people about him; Noah warned his people about him. But I shall tell you something about him that no prophet told his people: You know that he is one-eyed, whereas Allah is not one-eyed.”

Al-Zuhrī said: ‘Umar ibn Thābit al-Anṣārī informed me that some of the Companions of the Prophet had told him that the Prophet said to the people on that occasion, warning them of the Dajjāl’s trial: “You know that none of you will see his Lord before he dies. And written between the Dajjāl’s eyes is ‘Kāfir’; everyone who disapproves of his conduct will read it.”

Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a ṣaḥīḥ hadith.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic has the Prophet in the singular where the supplied English witness mistakenly says “The Messengers.” The final phrase refers to the Dajjāl’s conduct, as made explicit in the source English witness.
