حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَقْتَتِلَ فِئَتَانِ، فَيَكُونَ بَيْنَهُمَا مَقْتَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، دَعْوَاهُمَا وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُبْعَثَ دَجَّالُونَ كَذَّابُونَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ثَلاَثِينَ، كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ".
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, কিয়ামত সংঘটিত হবে না যে পর্যন্ত দু’টি দলের মধ্যে যুদ্ধ না হবে। তাদের মধ্যে হবে এক রক্তক্ষয়ী যুদ্ধ। তাদের দাবী হবে এক। আর কিয়ামত কায়িম হবে না যে পর্যন্ত প্রায় ত্রিশজন মিথ্যাচারী দাজ্জালের আবির্ভাব না হবে। এরা সবাই নিজেকে আল্লাহর রাসূল বলে দাবী করবে। (৮৫, মুসলিম ৫২/৪ হাঃ ২৮৮৮) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩৩৪১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established till there is a war between two groups among whom there will be a great number of casualties, though the claims (or religion) of both of them will be one and the same. And the Hour will not be established till there appear about thirty liars, all of whom will be claiming to be the messengers of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَقْتَتِلَ فِئَتَانِ عَظِيمَتَانِ، يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمَا مَقْتَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، دَعْوَتُهُمَا وَاحِدَةٌ، وَحَتَّى يُبْعَثَ دَجَّالُونَ كَذَّابُونَ، قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ثَلاَثِينَ، كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَحَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ، وَتَكْثُرَ الزَّلاَزِلُ، وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ، وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ، وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ وَهْوَ الْقَتْلُ، وَحَتَّى يَكْثُرَ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ فَيَفِيضَ، حَتَّى يُهِمَّ رَبَّ الْمَالِ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ صَدَقَتَهُ، وَحَتَّى يَعْرِضَهُ فَيَقُولَ الَّذِي يَعْرِضُهُ عَلَيْهِ لاَ أَرَبَ لِي بِهِ. وَحَتَّى يَتَطَاوَلَ النَّاسُ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ، وَحَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ بِقَبْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ. وَحَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ وَرَآهَا النَّاسُ ـ يَعْنِي ـ آمَنُوا أَجْمَعُونَ، فَذَلِكَ حِينَ لاَ يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ، أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ نَشَرَ الرَّجُلاَنِ ثَوْبَهُمَا بَيْنَهُمَا، فَلاَ يَتَبَايَعَانِهِ وَلاَ يَطْوِيَانِهِ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِلَبَنِ لِقْحَتِهِ فَلاَ يَطْعَمُهُ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَهْوَ يُلِيطُ حَوْضَهُ فَلاَ يَسْقِي فِيهِ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ رَفَعَ أُكْلَتَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَلاَ يَطْعَمُهَا ".
আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন ঃ ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) সংঘটিত হবে না যতক্ষণ দু’টি বড় দল পরস্পরে মহাযুদ্ধে লিপ্ত না হবে। উভয় দলের দাবি হবে অভিন্ন। আর যতক্ষণ ত্রিশের কাছাকাছি মিথ্যাচারী দাজ্জাল-এর প্রকাশ না পাবে। তারা প্রত্যেকেই নিজেকে আল্লাহর প্রেরিত রাসূল বলে দাবি করবে এবং যতক্ষণ ইল্ম উঠিয়ে নেয়া না হবে। আর ভূমিকম্প অধিক হারে না হবে। আর যামানা (কাল) সংক্ষিপ্ত না হবে এবং (ব্যাপক হারে) ফিতনা প্রকাশ না পাবে। আর হারজ ব্যপকতা লাভ করবে। হারজ হল হত্যা। আর যতক্ষণ তোমাদের মাঝে ধন-সম্পদ বৃদ্ধি না পাবে। তখন সম্পদের এমন সয়লাব শুরু হবে যে, সম্পদের মালিক তার সদাকাহ কে গ্রহণ করবে- এ নিয়ে চিন্তাযুক্ত হয়ে পড়বে। এমন কি যার নিকট সে সম্পদ আনা হবে সে বলবে আমার এ মালের কোনই প্রয়োজন নেই। আর যতক্ষণ মানুষ উঁচু উঁচু প্রাসাদ নির্মাণের জন্য পরস্পরে প্রতিযোগিতায় অবতীর্ণ না হবে। আর যতক্ষণ এক ব্যক্তি অপর ব্যক্তির কবরের পাশ দিয়ে অতিক্রম করার সময় বলবে হায়! আমি যদি এ কবরবাসীর স্থলে হতাম এবং যতক্ষণ সূর্য পশ্চিম দিক থেকে উদিত না হবে। যখন সূর্য পশ্চিম দিক থেকে উঠবে এবং সকল লোক তা দেখবে এবং সেদিন সবাই ঈমান আনবে। কিন্তু সে দিন তার ঈমান কাজে আসবে না, যে এর আগে ঈমান আনেনি। কিংবা ইতোপূর্বে যারা ঈমান আনেনি কিংবা ঈমানের মাধ্যমে কল্যাণ অর্জন করেনি- (সূরাহ আন‘আম ৬/১৫৮)। আর অবশ্যই ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) এমন অবস্থায় কায়িম হবে যে, দু’ব্যক্তি (পরস্পরে বেচাকেনার উদ্দেশে) কাপড় খুলবে। কিন্তু তারা বেচাকেনা ও গুটিয়ে রাখা শেষ করতে পারবে না। অবশ্যই ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) এমন অবস্থায় কায়িম হবে যে, এক ব্যক্তি তার উটের দুধ দোহন করে নিয়ে ফিরেছে। কিন্তু সে তা পান করতে পারবে না। ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) এমন অবস্থায় কায়িম হবে যে, এক ব্যক্তি তার হাওয আস্তর করছে, কিন্তু সে পানি পান করাতে পারবে না। অবশ্যই ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) এমন (অতর্কিত) ভাবে কায়িম হবে যে, এক ব্যক্তি মুখের কাছে লোক্মা তুলবে কিন্তু সে তা আহার করতে পারবে না। [৮৫; মুসলিম ১/৭২, হাঃ ১৫৭, আহমাদ ৭১৬৪] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৬২২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), (3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious scholars) (4) earthquakes will increase in number (5) time will pass quickly, (6) afflictions will appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance ---- so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat, and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it, (9) till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I were in his place (11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ " . أَوْ قَالَ " إِنَّ رَبِّي زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ مُلْكَ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا وَأُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الأَحْمَرَ وَالأَبْيَضَ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لأُمَّتِي أَنْ لاَ يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ وَلاَ يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَإِنَّ رَبِّي قَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُرَدُّ وَلاَ أُهْلِكُهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ وَلاَ أُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ بَيْنَ أَقْطَارِهَا أَوْ قَالَ بِأَقْطَارِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا وَإِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحَتَّى تَعْبُدَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الأَوْثَانَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي كَذَّابُونَ ثَلاَثُونَ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ وَأَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَلاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ " . قَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى " ظَاهِرِينَ " . ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا " لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ " .
সাওবান (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলূল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ (অথবা) আমার রব পৃথিবীকে আমার জন্য সংকুচিত করে দিয়েছেন এবং আমাকে এর পূর্ব ও পশ্চিম সীমানা দেখানো হয়েছে। আর যুতটুকু আমার জন্য সংকুচিত করা হয়েছে, ততটুকুতে অচিরেই আমার উম্মাতের রাজত্ব বিস্তার লাভ করবে। আমাকে লাল ও সাদা (স্বর্ণ ও রূপার) দু’টি ধনভান্ডার দেয়া হয়েছে। আর আমি আমার মহান প্রতিপালকের নিকট আমার উম্মাতের জন্য এই কথার আবেদন করছি যে, তিনি তাদের সবাইকে যেন দুর্ভিক্ষে ধ্বংস না করেন এবং তাদের নিজেদের ব্যতীত কোনো শত্রু যেন তাদের উপর কর্তৃত্ব করতে না পারে যারা তাদের ধ্বংস করে দিবে। নিশ্চয়ই আমার রব আমাকে বলেছেন, হে মুহাম্মাদ! আমি যা ফায়সালা করি, তা বাতিল হয় না। তবে আমি তাদের সবাইকে একসঙ্গে দুর্ভিক্ষে ধ্বংস করবো না এবং তাদের নিজেদের ছাড়া দিকবিদিক থেকে আগত তাদের সমূলে বিনাশকারী বিধর্মী শত্রুকে তাদের উপর কর্তৃত্ব করতে দিবো না, তবে তাদের কতক অপরদের ধ্বংস করবে এবং কতক অপরাধে বন্দী করবে। আর আমি আমার উম্মাতের পথভ্রষ্ট নেতাদের ব্যাপারে শঙ্কিত। আমার উম্মত যখন পরস্পর যুদ্ধে লিপ্ত হবে, তখন কিয়ামত সংঘটিত হওয়ার পূর্ব পর্যন্ত তারা বিরত হবে না। আর আমার উম্মাতের কিছু সংখ্যক মুশরিকদের সঙ্গে মিলিত না হওয়া পর্যন্ত এবং আমার উম্মাতের কতিপয় গোত্র মূর্তি পূজায় লিপ্ত না হওয়া পর্যন্ত কিয়ামত সংঘটিত হবে না। অবিলম্বে আমার উম্মাতের মধ্যে ত্রিশজন মিথ্যাবাদীর আবির্ভাব ঘটবে, তাদের প্রত্যেকেই নিজেকে নবী বলে দাবী করবে। অথচ আমিই সর্বশেষ নবী এবং আমার পরে আর কোনো নবী আসবে না। তবে আমার উম্মাতের একটি দল সর্বদা সত্যের উপর অটল থাকবে। যারা তাদের বিরোধিতা করবে, তারা তাদের কোনো ক্ষতি করতে পারবে না, এমন কি এ অবস্থায় আল্লাহর নির্দেশ (কিয়ামত) এসে যাবে।[1] সহীহ।
Narrated Thawban:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Allah, the Exalted, folded for me the earth, or he said (the narrator is doubtful): My Lord folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its easts and wests (i.e. the extremities). The kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was floded for me. The two treasures, the red and the white, were bestowed on me. I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates then en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me: Muhammad, If I make a decision, it is not withdrawn ; and I shall not destroy them by prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy, except from among themselves, who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth ; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will captive another section. I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is (Allah's) prophet, where as I am the seal of the Prophet s after whom (me) there will be no prophet ; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth - (according to the Ibn Isa's version: (will continue to dominate) - the agreed version goes: "and will not be injured by those who oppose them, till Allah's command comes

আবূ হুরাইরা (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ প্রায় ত্রিশজন ডাহা মিথ্যাবাদী প্রতারকের আবির্ভাবের পূর্বে কিয়ামত সংঘটিত হবে না। তাদের সকলে দাবি করবে যে, সে আল্লাহ্ তা'আলার প্রেরিত রাসূল। সহীহ, সহীহাহ (১৬৮৩), বুখারী, মুসলিম। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, জাবির ইবনু সামুরা ও ইবনু উমর (রাঃ) হতেও এ অনুচ্ছেদে হাদীস বর্ণিত আছে। এ হাদীসটি হাসান সহীহ।

What scholars have said
Scholars cite it in part, or differ
Explains that the thirty liars are not every mentally ill person who ever spoke, but specifically those who attained military/political power (shawka), spread deceptive doubts, and gathered large followings.
Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani · Fath al-Bari, on Sahih al-Bukhari 3609 & 7121
Notes that these thirty minor Dajjals pave the psychological and theological path for the Grand Dajjal (Al-Masih ad-Dajjal), who moves from claiming prophethood to claiming divinity.
Imam al-Qurtubi · Al-Tadhkirah fi Ahwal al-Mawta wa-Umur al-Akhirah
States that a large number of these claimants have already emerged from the Prophet's era through the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, and others will continue to appear until the Hour.
Imam al-Nawawi · Sharh Sahih Muslim, Hadith 157 & 2923
Draft attributions: each must be checked against the named book before publication.
Context
The prophecy of the thirty false claimants directly safeguards the fundamental Islamic creed of Khatam an-Nabiyyin (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40). The Prophet ﷺ confirmed: 'I am the Seal of the Prophets, there is no prophet after me' (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2219). Absolute negation ('La nabiya ba'di') excludes all forms of subsequent prophethood—whether legislative, shadow (buroozi), or subsidiary.

Present-day data
These numbers show the world today beside the narration. They do not decide whether the sign has appeared; that is shown only through named scholars, in the Scholars' views tab.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explicitly foretold that before the Final Hour, approximately thirty liars and Dajjals would emerge, each falsely claiming prophethood, while affirming: 'I am the Seal of the Prophets, there is no prophet after me' (Sahih al-Bukhari 3609, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2219). Scholars such as Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, al-Qurtubi, and al-Nawawi explain that this count designates the major prominent figures who gained power, gathered significant followings, and formed lasting deviant movements.

What the commentators said it means
- Era 1 (10-12 AH): The Ridda Claimants — Musaylimah, al-Aswad al-Ansi, Tulayhah (later repented), Sajah (female, later repented), and Laqit ibn Malik.
- Era 2 (66-120 AH): The Early Schismatic Claimants — Al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi (identified by Asma bint Abi Bakr as the liar of Thaqif), al-Harith al-Kadhdhab (Damascus), Bayyan ibn Sam'an, and al-Mughirah.
- Era 3 (127–411 AH): Medieval claimants — Salih ibn Tarif (Berber Quran), Ustadh Sis, al-Muqanna' (the veiled one), Babak, the Zanj leader, Ha-Mim of Ghomara, al-Mutanabbi (later recanted), al-Shalmaghani, and the divinity proclaimed for al-Hakim.
- Era 4 (8th century AH – present): Later claimants — Fadl Allah Astarabadi, Mahmud Pasikhani, Sayyid Muhammad Jaunpuri (Mahdi claim), the Bab, Baha'u'llah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Elijah Muhammad, Rashad Khalifa and Lia Eden. Each is named with the scholar or body that ruled on the claim; the label never extends to followers today.
