کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Abd al-Razzaq told us, on the authority of Muammar, on the authority of al-Zuhri, Amr ibn Abi Sufyan al-Thaqafi told me that a man from the Ansar told him, on the authority of some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), on the authority of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “While the Muslims in the Levant were besieged by the Dajjal in one of its mountains, wanting to kill the Dajjal, when darkness overtook them in which no one could see his hand, and the son of Mary would descend and lose sight of them. And among the most prominent of them is a man against his nation, and they say: Who are you, O servant of Allah? He says: I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger, and His spirit and His word, Jesus, son of Mary. They chose between one of three: between Allah Almighty sending a torment from the sky upon the Dajjal and his soldiers, or causing them to collapse into the earth, or placing your weapons on them, and stopping their weapons. Then they say: This, O Messenger of Allah, will heal our chests and our souls. He said: Then on that day he will see the great, tall, corroded Jew. When he sees the Son of Mary, the Dajjal melts, and his sword hand does not diminish from the trembling, so they descend upon them, and the Dajjal melts when he sees the son of Mary, just as bullets melt until he reaches him or Jesus overtakes him and kills him.”
