Mishkat al-Masabih
Mishkat al-Masabih 5492
Book 27: Fitan
Al-Mughira b. Shu’ba said: No one asked God’s messenger more about the dajjal than I did, and he assured me he would do me no harm. When I told him people were saying he would have with him a mountain of bread and a river of water, he replied that he was too insignificant in God’s sight for that[*].
*Mirqat, 5:213, says that this means either that he is too despicable to be able really to produce such things, or that such seeming marvels could cot mislead believers. Another explanation is that such things are allowed only because believers will have their faith increased and unbelievers, hypocrites and such like will provide more evidence of their unbelief.
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: مَا سَأَلَ أَحَدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَن الدجالِ أكثرَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي: «مَا يَضُرُّكَ؟» قُلْتُ: إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ مَعَهُ جَبَلَ خُبْزٍ وَنَهَرَ مَاءٍ. قَالَ: هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ من ذَلِك “. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
