Abu Tufayl reported,

I was in Kufa when someone said, "The Dajjal has appeared!"We came to Huzaifa bin Usayd while he was narrating, and I said, "The Dajjal has appeared!"He said, "Sit down."So I sat down. Then the chief came and said, "The Dajjal has appeared, and the people of Kufa are fighting him."He said, "Sit down."So I sat down. Then it was announced that it was a lie spread by a dyer.We said, "Abu Sariha, you have not made us sit here except for a reason, so narrate to us."He said, "If the Dajjal were to appear in your time, the children would pelt him with pebbles. But the Dajjal will appear at a time of hatred among people, weakness in religion, and bad relations between them. He will visit every watering place, and the earth will be folded up for him as a ram's skin is folded, until he reaches Medina. He will overpower its outskirts but be prevented from entering it. Then he will go to the mountain of Iliya and besiege a band of Muslims. Their commander will say to them, 'What are you waiting for with this tyrant? Why not fight him until you meet Allah or victory is granted to you?' So they will resolve to fight him in the morning. When morning comes, Isa, son of Maryam, will be with them. The Dajjal will be killed and his followers routed, until even the trees, stones, and clay will say, 'Believer, here is a Jew hiding behind me, kill him.'He has three signs. He is one-eyed, while your Lord is not one-eyed. Between his eyes is written 'disbeliever,' which every believer can read, whether literate or illiterate. None of the riding beasts will be subjected to him except the donkey, so he is filth upon filth."Then he said, "There is something other than the Dajjal that I fear more for myself and for you."We asked, "What is it, Abu Sariha?"He replied, "Trials like patches of dark night."We asked, "Who among the people will be the worst in those trials?"He said, "Every eloquent orator and every mounted rider who lays claim to authority."We asked, "Who among the people will be the best in those trials?"He said, "Every wealthy man who keeps to himself in obscurity."I said, "I am neither wealthy nor obscure."He said, "Then be like the young camel, neither with a back strong enough to be ridden nor with an udder to be milked."

عن أبي الطفيل قال

كنت بالكوفة فقيل: خرج الدجال قال: فأتينا على حذيفة بن أسيد وهو يحدث فقلت: هذا الدجال قد خرج فقال: اجلس فجلست فأتى علي العريف فقال: هذا الدجال قد خرج وأهل الكوفة يطاعنونه قال: اجلس فجلست فنودي أنها كذبة صباغ، قال: فقلنا: يا أبا سريحة ما أجلستنا إلا لأمر فحدثنا قال: إن الدجال لو خرج في زمانكم لرمته الصبيان بالخذف، ولكن الدجال يخرج في بغض من الناس، وخفة من الدين، وسوء ذات بين، فيرد كل منهل، فتطوى له الأرض طي فروة الكبش، حتى يأتي المدينة فيغلب على خارجها ويمنع داخلها، ثم جبل إيلياء فيحاصر عصابة من المسلمين فيقول لهم الذين عليهم: ما تنظرون بهذا الطاغية أن تقاتلوه حتى تلحقوا بالله أو يفتح لكم، فيأتمرون أن يقاتلوه إذا أصبحوا فيصبحون، ومعهم عيسى ابن مريم، فيقتل الدجال، ويهزم أصحابه حتى أن الشجر والحجر والمدر يقول: يا مؤمن هذا يهودي عندي فاقتله، قال: وفيه ثلاث علامات: هو أعور وربكم ليس بأعور، ومكتوب بين عينيه كافر يقرؤه كل مؤمن أمي وكاتب، ولا يسخر له من المطايا إلا الحمار فهو رجس على رجس، ثم قال: إنا لغير الدجال أخوف علي وعليكم، قال: فقلنا ما هو يا أبا سريحة؟ قال: فتن كأنها قطع الليل المظلم قال: فقلنا: أي الناس فيها شر؟ قال: كل خطيب مصقع وكل راكب موضع قال فقلنا: أي الناس فيها خير؟ قال: كل غني خفي قال: فقلت: ما أنا بالغني ولا بالخفي قال: فكن كابن اللبون لا ظهر فيركب ولا ضرع فيحلب.
