Hadith #138

English Translation

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) narrated: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, the Dajjal will come out, and a man from the believers will go toward him. The guards of the Dajjal will meet him and say: Where are you going? He will say: I am going to this one who has appeared. They will say: Do you not believe in our lord? He will say: There is nothing hidden about our Lord. They will say: Kill him. Then some of them will say: Has your lord not forbidden you from killing anyone without his permission? So they will take him to the Dajjal, and when the believer sees him, he will say: O people, this is the Dajjal whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned. The Dajjal will command that he be placed face down, then say: Take him and beat him. He will be beaten until his back and stomach are wounded. Then the Dajjal will say: Do you not believe in me? He will say: You are the false messiah. He will be ordered to be sawn from the parting of his hair down through his body, then the Dajjal will walk between the two halves, then say: Rise. He will stand upright. Then the Dajjal will say: Do you believe in me? He will say: I have only gained more insight about you. Then he will say: O people, he will not be able to do this to anyone after me. The Dajjal will seize him to slaughter him, but a copper shield will be placed on his neck, and the Dajjal will not be able to harm him. He will grab him by his hands and feet and throw him, and people will think he threw him into the Fire, but he is thrown into Paradise.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He is the greatest of martyrs in the sight of the Lord of the worlds.'
