সুগন্ধিময় সমীরণ যা সমস্ত মুমিনের রুহ কবজ করবে

Qabisah and Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us, and the wording is that of Qabisah, who said: Sufyan ibn Sa'id al-Thawri narrated to us, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Abu al-Za'ra', who said:

"We mentioned the Dajjal (False Messiah) in the presence of 'Abdullah [ibn Mas'ud] (may Allah be pleased with him), whereupon he said:

He will seize the bank of this Euphrates; they will fight him and he will fight them, until the believers gather in the villages of the Levant (al-Sham). He said: And they will dispatch an advance vanguard against them, among whom will be a rider whose horse is reddish-brown or piebald. They will all be killed, and not a single soul among them will return."

And Abu Sadiq narrated to me, from Rabi'ah ibn Najid, from 'Abdullah, who said: "His horse is reddish-brown." 'Abdullah said: "The People of the Book claim that the Messiah (Jesus) will descend and kill him." He said: "And I never heard him narrate anything from the People of the Book other than this." He said: "Then Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) will emerge, surging across the earth and causing corruption

therein." Then 'Abdullah recited: {And they descend from every mound} [Al-Anbiya': 96]. He said: "Then Allah will send against them a creature resembling these parasitic grubs (al-naghaf), which will penetrate into their ears and nostrils so that they will all die from it. The earth will reek of their stench, and the earth will cry out in distress unto Allah because of them. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will send down water to cleanse the earth of them. Thereafter, Allah will send a bitterly cold wind containing severe frost, such that no believer will remain upon the face of the earth but that their soul will be taken by that wind. Then the Hour will be established upon the worst of people. Then the Angel of the Trumpet will stand between heaven and earth and blow into it." He said: And I believe he said: "'The Trumpet is a horn, and not a single creation in the heavens and the earth will remain except that it dies.' Then there will be between the two blowings whatever period Allah wills to be, and there is no creation among the children of Adam except that something of him remains in the earth.

Then Allah will send down water from beneath the Throne, semen like the semen of men, whereupon their flesh and bodies will grow from that water just as the earth sprouts from moist soil." Then 'Abdullah recited: {And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water... and likewise is the Resurrection}. "Then an Angel between heaven and earth will stand and blow into the Trumpet, and every soul will depart toward its body until it enters it, and they will rise, revived in the greeting of a single man, standing before the Lord of the worlds. Then Allah will manifest Himself to the creation and meet them, and no one who used to worship anything besides Allah will remain except that it will be raised for him and he will follow it.

He will meet the Jews and say: 'Whom did you use to worship?' They will say: 'We used to worship 'Uzayr.' He will say: 'Would water please you?' They will say: 'Yes.' Then He will show them Hell, and it will appear like a mirage." Then 'Abdullah recited: {And We shall present Hell to the disbelievers on that Day, displayed} [Al-Kahf: 100]. "Then He will meet the Christians and say: 'Whom did you use to worship?' They will say: 'We used to worship the Messiah.' He will say: 'Would water please you?' They will say: 'Yes.' Then He will show them Hell, and it will appear like a mirage. He said: And likewise will happen to whoever used to worship anything besides Allah." He said: Then 'Abdullah recited: {And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned. What is [the matter] with you that you do not help each other?} [Al-Saffat: 24-25]. "Until the Muslims pass by, and He will say: 'Whom did you use to worship?' They will say: 'Allah, and we do not associate anything with Him.' Then He will rebuke them once or twice, saying: 'Whom do you worship?' And they will reply: 'Allah we worship, and we do not associate anything with Him.' He will say: 'Do you recognize your Lord?' They will say: 'Exalted is He; when He makes Himself known to us, we recognize Him.' He said: 'Thereupon, the Shin shall be uncovered, and no believer will remain except that he falls prostrate before Allah. But the hypocrites will remain, their backs rigid as a single plate, as though skewers were placed within them. They will say: 'Our Lord!' but He will say: 'You were indeed invited to prostrate when you were sound and healthy.'

Then the Bridge (al-Sirat) will be commanded, and it will be set across Hell. The people will cross over it in accordance with their deeds: the first of them will pass like the flash of lightning;" he said: "then like the passing of the wind;" he said: "then like the flight of birds; then like the swiftest of beasts." He said: "And likewise, until a man comes running, and likewise a man comes walking, until the last of them will be a man crawling on his belly, saying: 'O Lord, why did You delay me?' And He will say: 'It was only your deeds that delayed you.' Then Allah will grant permission for intercession, and the first intercessor on the Day of Resurrection will be the Holy Spirit Gabriel, then Ibrahim the intimate friend of Allah, then Musa or 'Isa, and then your Prophet (ﷺ) will stand as the fourth. None will intercede after him in the manner he is granted to intercede, and that is the Praiseworthy Station (al-Makam al-Mahmud) which Allah mentioned to him: {It may be that your Lord will raise you to a Praiseworthy Station} [Al-Isra': 79]. He said: And there is no soul except that it will look upon a dwelling in Paradise and a dwelling in the Fire,

and that is the Day of Regret. The people of the Fire will see the dwelling that was in Paradise, and it will be said to them: 'Had you only done good deeds!' And the people of Paradise will see the dwelling that was in the Fire, and they will say: 'Were it not that Allah bestowed His favor upon you.' He said: Then the angels, the prophets, the martyrs, the righteous, and the believers will intercede, and Allah will accept their intercession. Then He will say: 'I am the Most Merciful of the merciful,' and He will bring out of the Fire through His mercy more than all the creation brought out, until He leaves no one in it in whom there is any good." Then 'Abdullah recited: {What led you into Hellfire? They will say, 'We were not of those who prayed, nor did we used to feed the poor. And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it], and we used to deny the Day of Recompense, until there came to us the certainty.'} [Al-Muddaththir: 42-47]. He said: Then 'Abdullah said like this, clasping his hand and folding four fingers: "Do you see any good in these? Indeed, He will not leave anyone in it who has any good. When Allah wills that none should be taken out of it anymore, He will alter their faces and their colors. A believer will come, look, and seek to intercede, saying: 'O Lord!' and He will say: 'Whoever recognizes someone, let him bring him out.' The man will come, look, and recognize no one. Then a man will call out to him, saying: 'O so-and-so, O so-and-so!' but he will reply: 'I do not recognize you.' Then they will say: {Our Lord, bring us out of it; if we return [to evil], we will indeed be wrongdoers} [Al-Mu'minun: 107],

whereupon He will say: {Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me} [Al-Mu'minun: 108]. He said: When He says that, it will be closed over them, and not a single human being will ever come out of it."
