قَالَ عَبْدُ الله ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم يَوْمًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَىِ النَّاسِ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الله لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ، أَلاَ إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ أَعْوَرُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى، كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ‏‏.‏‏ وَأَرَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ فِي الْمَنَامِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ آدَمُ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا يُرَى مِنْ أُدْمِ الرِّجَالِ، تَضْرِبُ لِمَّتُهُ بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ، يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً، وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبَىْ رَجُلَيْنِ وَهْوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ‏.‏ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً وَرَاءَهُ جَعْدًا قَطَطًا أَعْوَرَ عَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى كَأَشْبَهِ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِابْنِ قَطَنٍ، وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبَىْ رَجُلٍ، يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ‏‏.‏

It is narrated by Hazrat Abdullahra that the Prophetsa mentioned one day in the presence of the people: “Allah is not one-eyed. However, the false Messiah, ad-Dajjal, is blind in his right eye, which appears like a protruding grape. Last night, I dreamt I was near the Ka‘bah where I saw a man whose complexion was brown, the finest one might see among such complexions. His hair was long, extending down to his shoulders, damp with water, as he placed his hands on the shoulders of two men while circumambulating the Ka‘bah. I enquired, ‘Who is this?’ They replied, ‘This is Jesus, son of Mary.’ Following him, I saw a man with very curly hair, blind in the right eye, resembling Ibn Qatan in appearance. He was placing his hands on the shoulders of a man as he too performed tawaf around the Ka‘bah. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They answered, ‘The Masih ad-Dajjal.’”
