Sahih Muslim 169b (Book 1, Hadith 331) #7596
Description of Al-Masih Al-Dajjal

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the description of al-Masih al-Dajjal, a false messiah, and how he is different from the true Messiah, al-Masih son of Mary.

It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdulldh b. Umar that one day the Messenger of Allah mentioned in the presence of people about al-Masih al-Dajjal. He said: Verily Allah (hallowed be He and High) is not blind of one eye. Behold, but the Masih al-Dajjal is blind of right eye as if his eye is like a swollen grape, and the Messenger of Allah said: I was shown in a dream in the night that near the Ka'bah there was a man fair-complexioned, fine amongst the white-complexioned men that you ever saw, his locks of hair were falling on his shoulders. He was a man whose hair were neither too curly nor too straight, and water trickled down from his head. He was placing his bands on the shoulders of two persons and amidst them was making a circuit around the Ka'bah. I said: Who is he? They replied: Al-Masih son of Mary. And I saw behind him a man with intensely curly hair, blind of right eye. Amongst the persons I have ever seen Ibn Qatan has the greatest resemblance with him. He was making a circuit around the Ka'bah by placing both his hands on the shoulders of two persons. I said: Who is he? They said; It is al-Masih al-Dajjal.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيَاضٍ - عَنْ مُوسَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُقْبَةَ - عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىِ النَّاسِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ أَعْوَرُ عَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَرَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ آدَمُ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا تَرَى مِنْ أُدْمِ الرِّجَالِ تَضْرِبُ لِمَّتُهُ بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً ‏.‏ وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبَىْ رَجُلَيْنِ وَهُوَ بَيْنَهُمَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ‏.‏ وَرَأَيْتُ وَرَاءَهُ رَجُلاً جَعْدًا قَطَطًا أَعْوَرَ عَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى كَأَشْبَهِ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِابْنِ قَطَنٍ وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبَىْ رَجُلَيْنِ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be aware that there are people claiming to be prophets or messengers sent by God but we should not believe them unless they meet all criteria set for prophets in Islam such as being sinless etc., because only then can we be sure that they are truly sent by God Almighty Himself .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about two messiahs - one true and one false. The true messiah is known as al Masih son of Mary and the false one is known as al Masih al Dajjal. It was narrated by 'Abdulldh b. Umar that in a dream he saw a man with fair complexion near the Ka'bah who had neither too curly nor too straight hair and water was dripping from his head. He was placing his hands on the shoulders of two persons while making a circuit around the Ka'bah. When asked who he was, they said it was Al Masih son of Mary. Then there appeared another man with intensely curly hair who was blind in his right eye resembling Ibn Qatan and making a circuit around the Ka’bah by placing both his hands on the shoulders of two persons; when asked who he was they said it was Al Masih al Dajjal -the false messiah-. This hadith teaches us to be aware that there are people out there claiming to be prophets or messengers sent by God but we should not believe them unless they meet all criteria set for prophets in Islam such as being sinless etc., because only then can we be sure that they are truly sent by God Almighty Himself .
