A companion...

A companion, Sayasa asked from Amir ul momaneen -as , ‘O Successor of the Holy Prophet -saww please tell us when will Dajjal emerge?’ Mola Ali -as replied, ‘there are a few signs which will become noticeable prior to his appearance, those signs are: people would stop offering prayers, people will be robbed of their deposits; twisting facts would be considered an appreciable quality; society will accept interest and use bribe as a means of subsistence; religion will be sold for the worldly gains; idiots will take over the intelligent; innocent will be slaughtered; those with humble and courteous ways will be called weak and naïve; those with harsh and cruel customs will be envied and praised; wealthy will be traitors; government officials will be malicious; prosperous would be evasive; clerics will be devious; adultery and illegitimate relationships will become societal norm; woman will participate in trade with men; falsehood and speculation will be admired; women will ride on saddle and prefer manly styles whereas men would like to dress like women; and that year will also experience a severe famine.

Mola -as continued, the ‘One a.s’ [3] who would lead Hazrat Isa -as in congressional prayers, will terminate Dajjal and by this will then be followed by a diabolic bloodshed. Then Asbagh bin Nabata (or Kanana) stood up and asked, Who is Dajjal, O Amir al Momineen -as ? Imam -as replied, ‘Sayaad -the son of Alsaad, only terminally ill fated will follow him.

He will appear from a village called ‘Yahodia’ near city of Aisfahan (Iran), his right eye will be punctured and his left eye would be raised onto his forehead and will be sparkling like a star. Everyone will be able to read the word ‘Kafar’, inscribed in bold letters, within his two eyes. There will be big mountains of smoke at both front and backsides of his caravan. People will anticipate food within those mountains (as he will be eating and drinking from there), during the severe famine.

He will be riding on a huge white coloured ‘donkey’ who will cover a mile in a single stride. All rivers, falling in his way, will become dry and he will call upon people in aloud voice, ‘O my friends! Come to me! I am your lord who has made your limbs and gave you sustenance. Mola Ali -saww then said, the one-eyed enemy of Allah -azwj who will not manage without eating, drinking and wondering around-will be a deceiver. Your Lord -azwj is autonomous from these limitations.
