শতাব্দীর ক্রান্তিলগ্নে দাজ্জালের বহির্গমন বিষয়ক রেওয়ায়েতের পর্যালোচনা

Za'idah say: Kurz used to strive vigorously in worship, so it was said to him: "Will you not give yourself rest for an hour?" He replied: "What has reached you concerning the lifespan of the world?" They said: "Seven thousand years." He asked: "What has reached you concerning the measure of the Day of Resurrection?" They said: "Fifty thousand years." He remarked: "Is one of you unable to labor for one-seventh of his day so that he may secure safety from the terror of that Day?"

And Isa (as) will descend and slay him, thereafter remaining upon the earth for forty years:

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded in his Tafsir: Yahya ibn 'Abdak al-Qurtubi narrated to us, saying: Khalaf ibn al-Walid narrated to us, saying: Al-Mubarak ibn Fadalah narrated to us from 'Ali ibn Zayd, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from al-'Uryan ibn al-Haytham, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As, who said: "Never since the world existed has there been the turn of a century except that an event occurred at the turn of that century. Thus, when the turn of a century arrives, the Dajjal will emerge, and Isa will descend and slay him."

Al-Tabarani recorded from 'Abdullah ibn Salam, who said: "People will remain for forty years after the Dajjal; markets will flourish and palm trees will be planted." Al-Tabarani also recorded from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Isa ibn Maryam will descend and abide among mankind for forty years."

Ahmad recorded in his Musnad from 'A'ishah (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Dajjal will emerge, and Isa (as) will descend and slay him. Isa (as) will then remain upon earth for forty years as a just leader and an equitable arbiter." Ahmad also recorded in Kitab al-Zuhd from Abu Hurayrah, who said: "Isa (as) will remain on earth for forty years; if he were to say to the pebble-strewn plain, 'Flow with honey,' it would surely flow with honey."

Al-Hakim recorded in al-Mustadrak from Ibn Mas'ud (ra), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: "Between the two ears of the Dajjal's donkey is forty cubits." He narrated the hadith until he said: "And Isa ibn Maryam will descend and slay him. They will then enjoy life for forty years; no one will die and no one will fall ill. A man will say to his sheep and beasts, 'Go forth and graze,' and cattle will pass between two cultivated fields without eating a single ear of grain. Snakes and scorpions will harm no one, and predatory beasts will sit at the thresholds of houses without harming anyone. A man will take a mudd of wheat and scatter it without plowing, and seven hundred mudds will yield from it. They will remain in that state until the barrier of Gog and Magog is breached, whereupon they will surge forth and cause corruption in the earth. Then Allah will send a creature from the earth that will enter their ears, so that they all die at once. The earth will reek of their stench, tormenting the people by its foul odor. They will cry out to Allah for relief, and Allah will send a dusty southern wind, removing their affliction after three days, and their corpses will have been hurled into the sea. Thereafter, they will tarry but a little while until the sun rises from the west."

Abu al-Shaykh said in Kitab al-Fitan from Abu Hurayrah (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
