Musnad Ahmad 20178

Translation

✧ O people, I adjure you by Allah: if you know that I have fallen short in conveying any of the messages of my Lord [Mighty and Majestic], then tell me, for I have conveyed the messages of my Lord as they ought to be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, then tell me. He said: Then men stood up and said: We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord, and you have been sincere to your community, and you have fulfilled what was upon you. Then they fell silent. Then he said: Now then, there are men who claim that the eclipse of this sun and the eclipse of this moon and the disappearance of these stars from their rising-places are due to the death of great men among the people of the earth. Indeed they have lied. Rather, they are signs among the signs of Allah [Blessed and Exalted] by which He admonishes His servants, so that He may see who among them turns to Him in repentance. By Allah, since I stood up to pray I have seen what you will meet in the affairs of your world and your hereafter. And indeed, by Allah, the Hour will not come until thirty liars appear, the last of them being the one-eyed Dajjāl, whose left eye is effaced, as if it were the eye of Abū Taḥyā—he said this of a shaykh then present among the Anṣār, between him and the room of ʿĀʾishah. And when he emerges—or he said: whenever he emerges—he will claim that he is Allah. So whoever believes in him, affirms him, and follows him, no righteous deed he did before will benefit him. And whoever disbelieves in him and denies him will not be punished for any of his deeds. And Ḥasan al-Ashyab said: for any evil of his deeds that went before. And he will appear—or he said: he will soon appear—over the whole earth except the Sacred Precinct and Jerusalem. And he will besiege the believers in Jerusalem, and they will be shaken with a severe shaking. Then Allah [Blessed and Exalted] will destroy him and his armies, until even the stump of a wall—or he said: the base of a wall, and Ḥasan al-Ashyab said: and the root of a tree—will call out, or he said: will say: O believer, or he said: O Muslim, this is a Jew, or he said: this is an unbeliever—come and kill him. He said: And that will not be so until you see matters whose seriousness grows great in your own souls, and you ask one another: Did your Prophet ever mention any of them to you? And until mountains move from their places. Then after that comes the seizing (of souls). He said: Then I witnessed a sermon by Samurah in which he mentioned this ḥadīth, and he did not put a word forward or backward from its place. As in the edition of Jamʿiyyat al-Makniz al-Islāmī, and in the edition of Muʾassasat al-Risālah.
