Mutawaatir Ahaadeeth (those with numerous lines of narrators). One way
of doing this is to memorise ten Ayaat from Surat al-Kahf."
Abul-Diraa reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said,
"Whoever memorises the first ten Aayaat of Surat al-Kahf will be
protected from the Dajjaal." [Abu Daawood] [2]
3. Keeping away from the Dajjaal.
One way to be protected from the tribulation of the Dajjaal is to live in
Madeenah or Makkah.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)
said,
"There are angels standing at the gates of Madeenah; neither plague nor
the Dajjaal can enter it." [Bukhaaree, Muslim]
Abu Bakr reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said,
"The terror caused by the Dajjaal will not enter Madeenah. At that time it
will have seven gates; there will be two angels guarding every gate."
[Bukhaaree] [3]
Anas said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjaal will come
to Madeenah, and he will find angels guarding it. Neither plague nor the
Dajjaal will enter it, inshaa-Allaah.' " [Tirmidhee, Bukhaaree]
It has been proven in the Saheeh Ahaadeeth that the Dajjaal will not
enter Makkah or Madeenah, because the angels will prevent him from
entering these two places which are sanctuaries and are safe from him.
When he camps at the salt-marsh (Sabkhah) of Madeenah, it will be
shaken by three tremors - either physically or metaphorically - and every
hypocrite will go out to join the Dajjaal. On that day, Madeenah will be
cleansed of its dross and will be refined and purified; and Allaah knows
best.

The Life And Deeds Of The Dajjaal
The Dajjaal will be a man, created by Allaah to be a test for people at the
end of time. Many will be led astray through him, and many will be guided
through him; only the sinful will be led astray.
Al-Haafidh Ibn 'Alee al-Aabaar wrote in his book of history (at-Taareekh)

that the Dajjaal's Kunyah (nickname or paternal title) would be Abu
Yoosuf. [1]
Abu Bakrah said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjaal's parents
will remain childless for thirty years, then a one-eyed child will be born to
them. He will be very bad and will cause a great deal of trouble. When he
sleeps, his eyes will be closed but his heart (or mind) will still be active.'
Then he described his parents: 'His father will be a tall and bulky man,
with a long nose like a beak; his mother will be a huge, heavy-breasted
woman.' " [2]
Abu Bakrah said,
"We heard that a child had been born to some of the Jews in Madeenah.
Az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awaam and I went see his parents, and found that they
matched the description given by the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa
sallam). We saw the boy lying in the sun, covered with a blanket,
murmuring to himself. We asked his parents about him, and they said,
'We remained childless for thirty years, then this one-eyed boy was born
to us. He is very bad and causes a great deal of trouble.' When we went
out, we passed the boy. He asked us, 'What were you doing?' We said,
'Did you hear us?' He said, 'Yes; when I sleep, my eyes are closed but
my heart (mind) is still active.' That boy was Ibn Sayyaad." [Ahmad,
Tirmidhee; this Hadeeth is not very strong] [3]
As we have already seen in the Saheeh Ahaadeeth, Maalik and others
think that Ibn Sayyaad was not the Dajjaal; he was one of a number of
"lesser dajjaals." Later he repented and embraced Islaam; Allaah knows
best his heart and deeds.
The "greater" Dajjaal is the one mentioned in the Hadeeth of Faatimah
bint Qays, which she narrated from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa
sallam), from Tameem ad-Daaree, and which includes the story of the
Jassaasah. The Dajjaal will be permitted to appear at the end of time,
after the Muslims have conquered a Roman city called Constantinople.
He will first appear in Isfahaan, in an area known as the Jewish quarter
(al-Yahoodiyyah). He will be followed by seventy thousand Jews from
that area, all of them armed. Seventy thousand Tatars and many people
from Khuraasaan will also follow him. At first he will appear as a
tyrannical king, then he will claim to be a prophet, then a lord. Only the
most ignorant of men will follow him; the righteous and those guided by
Allaah will reject him. He will start to conquer the world country by
country, fortress by fortress, region by region, town by town; no place will
remain unscathed except Makkah and Madeenah. The length of his stay

on earth will be forty days: one day like a year, one day like a month, one
day like a week, and the rest of the days like normal days, i.e. his stay
will be approximately one year and two and a half months. Allaah will
grant him many miracles, through which whoever He wills will be astray,
and the faith of the believers will be strengthened. The descent of Jesus
son of Mary, the true Messiah, will happen at the time of the Dajjaal, the
false messiah. He will descend to the minaret in the east of Damascus.
The believers and true servants of Allaah will gather to support him, and
the Messiah Jesus son of Mary will lead them against the Dajjaal, who at
that time will be heading for Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). He will catch up
with him at 'Aqabah 'Afeeq. The Dajjaal will runaway from him, but Jesus
will catch up with him at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him with his spear
just as he is entering it. He will say to him, "I have to deal you a blow; you
cannot escape." When the Dajjaal faces him, he will begin to dissolve like
salt in water. So Jesus will kill him with his spear at the gate of Ludd, and
he will die there, as many Saheeh Ahaadeeth indicate.
Majma' ibn Jaariyah is reported to have said,
"I heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) saying, 'The son of
Mary will kill the Dajjaal at the gate of Ludd.' " [Tirmidhee] [4]

The Descent of Jesus at the End of Time
Abd Allaah ibn 'Amr said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjaal will
appear in my Ummah, and will remain for forty - "I cannot say whether he
meant forty days, forty months or forty years." - Then Allaah will send
Jesus (alayhi-salam), the son of Mary, who will resemble 'Urwah ibn
Mas'ood. He will chase the Dajjaal and kill him. Then the people will live
for seven years during which there will be no enmity between any two
