One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Masih the Dajjal among the people, saying, "Allah is not one-eyed. Indeed, the Masih the Dajjal is blind in his right eye, as though his eye were a floating grape."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "Last night I saw myself in a dream at the Kaabah. There I saw a man of brown complexion, the finest of brown-skinned Some men you could see, with hair flowing down between his shoulders, the hair of a man of straight hair, water dripping from his head. He had placed his hands upon the shoulders of two men and was walking between them, performing tawaf around the House.I asked, 'Who is this?'They replied, 'The Masih, son of Maryam.'Then I saw behind him a man with very curly hair, blind in his right eye, the closest in resemblance among the people I have seen to Ibn Qatan. He too had placed his hands upon the shoulders of two men and was performing tawaf around the House.I asked, 'Who is this?'They said, 'This is the Masih the Dajjal.'"
ذكر رسول الله ﷺ يوما بين ظهراني الناس المسيح الدجال، فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى ليس بأعور، ألا إن المسيح الدجال أعور عين اليمنى، كأن عينه عنبة طافية، قال: وقال رسول الله ﷺ: أراني الليلة في المنام عند الكعبة، فإذا رجل آدم كأحسن ما ترى من أدم الرجال، تضرب لمته بين منكبيه رجل الشعر، يقطر رأسه ماء واضعا يديه على منكبي رجلين، وهو بينهما يطوف بالبيت، فقلت: من هذا؟ فقالوا: المسيح بن مريم، ورأيت وراءه رجلا جعدا قططا أعور عين اليمنى كأشبه من رأيت من الناس بابن قطن واضعا يديه على منكبي رجلين يطوف بالبيت، فقلت من هذا؟ قالوا: هذا المسيح الدجال.
Reported by Bukhari in the chapters on the prophets (3439, 3440), and Muslim in the book of faith (169:274), both from the hadith of Anas bin Iyad Abu Damra, from Musa bin Uqba, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, as mentioned. The wording given is that of Muslim, and the wording of Bukhari is close to it.As for his saying, "blind in the right eye," this is how it appears in the hadith of Ibn Umar in the Sahihayn, and it is the more reliable version among the hadiths that mention that he is "blind in the left eye." Qadi Iyad held the view that both of Dajjal's eyes are defective and blind, one of them lost entirely, and the other defective in some other way, and Nawawi approved of this view. This meaning is supported by what appears in the hadith of Safina, the freed servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, recorded by Imam Ahmad, as will be mentioned later.
