Sahih al-Bukhari #6853

Afflictions and the End of the World
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ مَا سَأَلَ أَحَدٌ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ مَا سَأَلْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي ‏"‏ مَا يَضُرُّكَ مِنْهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ لأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ مَعَهُ جَبَلَ خُبْزٍ وَنَهَرَ مَاءٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏
Nobody asked the Prophet (ﷺ) as many questions as I asked regarding Ad-Dajjal. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "What worries you about him?" I said, "Because the people say that he will have a mountain of bread and a river of water with him (i.e. he will have abundance of food and water)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Nay, he is too mean to be allowed such a thing by Allah"' (but it is only to test mankind whether they believe in Allah or in Ad-Dajjal.)
Narrated by Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba:

Context

In this narration, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) expresses his concerns about the Dajjal, a figure associated with trials and tribulations. The Prophet reassures him that the Dajjal's threats are insignificant compared to Allah's power. This highlights the importance of faith and reliance on Allah in the face of challenges.

Modern Application

This hadith encourages individuals to focus on their faith and trust in Allah, especially when confronted with fears or uncertainties. It serves as a reminder that true security lies in one's relationship with Allah.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment because it discusses the trials associated with the Dajjal and the importance of faith during such times.
