Riyad as-Salihin 1809 (Book 18, Hadith 2) #38298
The Coming of Dajjal, the Antichrist

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned of the coming of Dajjal, the Antichrist, who will bring with him water that appears to be fire and fire that appears to be water.

Rib'i bin Hirash (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I accompanied Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari to Hudaifah bin Al-Yaman (May Allah be pleased with them). Abu Mas'ud said to him: "Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah about Dajjal (the Antichrist)". Hudaifah said: He said, "Dajjal will appear, and with him will be water and fire. That which people consider to be water will in fact be a burning fire, and that which people will consider to be fire will in fact be cool and sweet water. He who from amongst you happens to face him, should jump into that which he sees as fire for that will be nice and sweet water". Abu Mas'ud said: "I have also heard this from the Messenger of Allah ". Al-Bukhari and Muslim
وعن ربعي بن حراش قال‏:‏ انطلقت مع أبي مسعود الأنصاري إلى حذيفة بن اليمان رضي الله عنهم فقال له أبو مسعود، حدثني ما سمعت من رسول الله ، في الدجال قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن الدجال يخرج ، وإن معه ماء وناراً ، فأما الذي يراه الناس ماء فنار تحرق، وأما الذي يراه الناس نارأً، فماء بارد عذب، فمن أدركه منكم، فليقع في الذي يراه ناراً، فإنه ماء عذب طيب‏"‏ فقال أبو مسعود‏:‏ وأنا قد سمعته‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Rib'i bin Hirash and Hudaifah bin Al-Yaman speaks about a figure known as Dajjal or the Antichrist. This figure is said to come with two elements - water and fire - but these elements are not what they appear to be. What looks like water will actually be a burning fire, while what looks like fire will actually be cool and sweet water. If anyone happens to face this figure, they should jump into what appears to be fire for it will in fact provide relief from heat. This hadith serves as a warning from Allah's Messenger ﷺ about an event that is yet to come in order for us all to prepare ourselves spiritually for it. It also teaches us an important lesson about how things may not always appear as they seem on the surface level; we must look deeper into matters before making any decisions or judgments based on our initial observations.
