حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي النَّاسِ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الدَّجَّالَ فَقَالَ " إِنِّي لأُنْذِرُكُمُوهُ وَمَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ وَلَقَدْ أَنْذَرَهُ نُوحٌ قَوْمَهُ وَلَكِنِّي سَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ فِيهِ قَوْلاً لَمْ يَقُلْهُ نَبِيٌّ لِقَوْمِهِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ " . قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ بَعْضُ، أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُوَ يُحَذِّرُهُمْ فِتْنَتَهُ " تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَرَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رَبَّهُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَإِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ك ف ر يَقْرَأُهُ مَنْ كَرِهَ عَمَلَهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Messengers Of Allah(S.A.W)Stood Among The People, He Praised Allah As Is Due To Him, Then He Mentioned The Dajjal And He Said: 'Indeed I Warn You Of Him. There Has Not Been A Prophet Except That He Warned His People, And Nuh Indeed Warned His People – But I Am To Say Something About Him That No Prophet Has Said To His People: You Should Know That He Is One-Eyed, And Allah Is Certainly Not One-Eyed.'”Az-Zuhri Said: “ `Umar Bin Thabit Al-Ansari Informed Me That Some Of The Companions Of The Prophet(S.A.W) Informed Him, That One Day, The Prophet(S.A.W) Was Cautioning Them Against Fitnah And He Said: 'You Must Know That Not One Of You Will Ever See His Lord Until He Dies. And Indeed, He(The Dajjal) Has “Kafir” Written Between His Eyes; Everyone Who Is Averse To His Behavior Shall Read It.'” (Sahih)

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2235
This Hadith gives clear signs related to the Dajjal. Ibn Umar said the Prophet praised Allah, then warned the people about the Dajjal. He said every prophet warned his people, including Nuh, but he would tell his Ummah something special: the Dajjal is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed. Another part of the narration says no one will see his Lord until he dies, and that “Kafir” will be written between the Dajjal’s eyes, readable by those who reject his behavior. The core topic is recognizing falsehood. The Hadith teaches that false claims must be measured against clear truth.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet strongly warned his people about the Dajjal.
- The Hadith gives signs: he is one-eyed and marked with disbelief.
- The narration states that no one will see his Lord before death.
