حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: نَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: نَا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ. عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ:
الدَّجَّالُ أَحْمَرُ هِجَانٌ، ضَخْمٌ فَيْلَمِيٌّ، كَأَنَّ شَعَرَ رَأْسِهِ أَغْصَانُ شَجَرَةٍ، كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ كَوْكَبُ الصُّبْحِ، فَشَبَّهْتُهُ بِعَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قَطَنٍ، مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ
