its setting place, the exact extent of which we do not know. And if the Dajjal is delayed beyond the turn of the thousand to another century, the duration will be even greater; yet it is not possible for the total duration to reach one thousand and five hundred years at all. And here I cite the hadiths and traditions upon which I have relied in this matter.

And that the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent in the latter part of the sixth millennium:

Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi said in Nawadir al-Usul: Salih ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Ya'la ibn Hilal narrated to us from Layth, from Mujahid, from Abu Hurayrah (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Intercession on the Day of Resurrection is exclusively for those of my Ummah who committed major sins and then died persisting in them. They shall be in the first gate of Hellfire; their faces will not be blackened, their eyes will not turn blue, they will not be bound in shackles, nor chained together with devils, nor struck with iron maces, nor cast down into the lowest abysses. Among them are those who will abide therein for an hour and then exit, those who will abide therein for a day and then exit, those who will abide therein for a month and then exit, those who will abide therein for a year and then exit. The one among them whose stay is longest will abide therein for the equivalent of the lifespan of this world from the day it was created to the day it is brought to an end, and that is seven thousand years." And he mentioned the remainder of the hadith.

Ibn Asakir said: Abu Sa'id Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Baghdadi informed us, saying: Abu Sahl Humayd ibn Ahmad ibn 'Umar al-Sayrafi informed us, saying: Abu 'Amr 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab informed us, saying: Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Shadhan ibn Sa'duwayh informed us, saying: Abu 'Ali al-Hasan ibn Dawud al-Balkhi informed us, saying: Shaqiq ibn Ibrahim al-Zahid narrated to us, saying: Abu Hashim al-Ayli narrated to us from Anas ibn Malik (ra), who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever fulfills the need of a Muslim for the sake of Allah, Allah records for him the equivalent of the lifespan of this world, seven thousand years, fasting its days and standing in prayer throughout its nights."

Ibn 'Adi said: Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah al-Balkhi narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Hamzah ibn Dawud narrated to us, saying: 'Umar ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: Al-'Ala' ibn Zayd narrated to us from Anas (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The lifespan of the world is seven days from the days of the Hereafter." Allah the Exalted says: {And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count} [al-Hajj: 47].

Al-Tabarani said in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir: Ahmad ibn al-Nadr al-'Askari and Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-'Uryani narrated to us, both saying: Al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik ibn Sarh al-Harrani narrated to us, saying: Sulayman ibn 'Ata' al-Qurashi al-Harbi narrated to us from Salamah ibn 'Abdullah al-Juhani, from 'Umar ibn Abi Shuja'ah ibn Rabi' al-Juhani, from al-Dahhak ibn Ziml al-Juhani, who said: I saw a dream and narrated it to
