The Signs Before The Day Of Judgment

Appearance of Dajjal

First of all, we will quote the reports which mention the liars and

"dajjals" who will precede the coming off the Dajjal, or Antichrist, who

will be the last of them; may Allah curse them and punish them with

Hell-fire.

Jabir ibn Samurah said, "I heard the Prophet say, 'Just before the Hour

there will be many liars.'" Jabir said, "Be on your guard against them."

(Muslim).

Jabir said, "I heard the Prophet 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 Dajjal. This will be the greatest fitnah.'''

(Ahmad.)

Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, "The Hour will not come ... until

nearly 30 "dajjals" (liars) appear, each one claiming to be a messenger

from Allah.'" (Bukhari Muslim.)

Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'The Hour will not come until 30

"dajjals" appear, each of them claiming to be a messenger from Allah,

wealth increases, tribulations appear and al-Harj increases.'" Someone

asked, 'What is al-Harj?' He said, 'Killing, killing.' (Ahmad.)

Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'The Hour will not come until 30

"dajjals" appear, all of them lying about Allah and His Messenger." (Abu

Dawud.)

Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'Just before the Hour, there will be

30 "dajjals", each of whom will say, I am a Prophet.'" (Ahmad.)

Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'There will be "dajjals" 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.)

Thawban said, "The Prophet said, 'There will be 30 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.)

The Prophet said, "Verily before the Day of Resurrection there will appear

the Dajjal, and 30 or more liars." (Ahmad.)

Ibn 'Umar said, "I heard the Prophet say, 'Among my Ummah there will be

more than 70 callers, each of whom will be calling people to Hell-fire. If

I wished, I could tell you their names and tribes.'"

Abu Bakrah said, "The people spoke a great deal against Musaylimah before

the Prophet said anything about him. Then the Prophet got up to give a

speech and said: '...as for this man about whom you have spoken so much -

he is one of the 30 liars who will appear before the Hour, and there is no

town which will not feel the fear of the Antichrist.'" (Ahmad.)

In another version of this report, the Prophet said, "He is one of the 30

liars who will appear before the Dajjal. There is no town which will

escape the fear of the Djjal, apart from Madinah. At that time there will

be two angels at every entrance of Madinah, warding off the fear of the

Antichrist."

Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet said, 'The time of the Dajjal 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 Allah

and will have a say in general affairs.'" (Ahmad.)
