He -asws said: ‘The Prophets -as , and the successors -asws , and Amir Al-Momineen -asws in particular’. He -asws said: ‘Its Eman will not benefit it because it would have been Confiscated’’. [4] When will Dajjal appear?
In a lengthy Hadith, the narrator says: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ كَمَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ شَرٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ص السَّيْفُ قُلْتُ وَ هَلْ بَعْدَ السَّيْفِ بَقِيَّةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِمَارَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ وَ هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! Can evil happen to be after this goodness, just as there was evil before it?’ He -saww said: ‘Yes’.
I said, ‘So what is the protection, O Rasool-Allah -saww ?’ He -saww said: ‘The sword’. I said, ‘And would there be any remnant after the sword?’ He -saww said: ‘Yes, an emirate upon the sins and a truce upon the smoke’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رُعَاةُ الضَّلَالَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِخَلِيفَةٌ جَلَدَ ظَهْرَكَ وَ أَخَذَ مَالَكَ فَالْزَمْهُ وَ إِلَّا فَمُتْ وَ أَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Then what?’ He -saww said: ‘Then citizens would spread the straying, so if there was a caliph for Allah -azwj in the earth whipping your back and taking your wealth, then necessitate him, or else so die and you are biting upon the trunk of a tree’.
قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعَهُ نَهْرٌ وَ نَارٌ فَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَارِهِ وَجَبَ أَجْرُهُ وَ حُطَّ وِزْرُهُ وَ مَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَهْرِهِ وَجَبَ وِزْرُهُ وَ حُطَّ أَجْرُهُ I said, ‘Then what?’ He -saww said: ‘The Al-Dajjal -la would emerge after that having a river with him -la and a fire.
The one who falls into his -la fire, his Recompense would be obligated and his burdens (sins) would be shed, and one who falls into his river, his burden (sins) would be obligated and his Recompense would be shed’. قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ يُنْتَجُ الْمُهْرُ فَلَا يُرْكَبُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Then what?’ He -saww said: ‘An animal would be produced, but do not ride it until the establishment of the Hour’’.
[5] Note: – بَعْضِ الرِّوَايَاتِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْهُدْنَةُ عَلَى الدَّخَنِ مَا هِيَ قَالَ لَا يَرْجِعُ قُلُوبُ أَقْوَامٍ عَلَى الَّذِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ And in a report – ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww !
