Do not narrate something which you have heard from others.’ We persisted in asking him. He said, ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood amongst us and said, ‘I warn you of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) who is one-eyed.’ He said I think he said his left eye. He will have mountains of bread and rivers of water with him. His sign is that he will stay among you for forty days, his rule will reach every place (on the earth) apart from four masajid: Masjid al-Haram (in Makkah), the Masjid of the Messenger, al-Masjid al-Aqsa and the Masjid of Sinai. Irrespective of what happens, know that Allah ﷺ is not one-eyed.’ Ibn ‘Awn said, ‘I think he said that he will be given power over a man whom he will kill and then revive. He will not be given power over anybody else.’” (Ahmad)
