وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ»

Abu Darda reported the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal.

ইবনু আবূ উমার ও আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মুহাম্মাদ আয যুহরী (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণনা করেন যে, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ফেলে দেয়া একটি মরা বকরীর সামনে দিয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন যা মাইমুনাহ (রাযিঃ) এর দাসীকে সদাকাহ হিসেবে দেয়া হয়েছিল। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তারা এর চামড়া কেন খুলে নিল না? চামড়াটি পাকা করে তা দিয়ে উপকৃত হত।

سفیان نے عمرو سے ، انہوں نے عطاء سے ، انہوں نے حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہﷺ ایک مردہ پڑی ہوئی بکری کے پاس سے گزرے جو میمونہؓ کی باندی کو بطور صدقہ دی گئی تھی تو نبی اکرمﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’انہوں نے اس کے چمڑے کو کیوں نہ اتارا ، وہ اس کو رنگ لیتے اور فائدہ اٹھا لیتے! ‘ ‘

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abi Umar] dan [Abdullah bin Muhammad az-Zuhri] dan lafazh tersebut milik Ibnu Abi Umar. Keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Amru] dari ['Atha'] dari [Ibnu Abbas] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melewati kambing yang dibuang yang telah diberikan kepada budak Maimunah sebagai sedekah.

Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, "Mengapa kalian tidak mengambil kulitnya, lalu menyamaknya, sehingga kalian bisa memanfaatkannya

Bize İbni Ebî Ömer ile Abdullah b. Muhammed ez Zührî'de rivayet ettiler. Lafız İbni Ebî Ömer'indir. Dediler ki Bize Süfyan, Amr'dan, o da Ata'dan, o da İbni Abbas'dan naklen rivayet ettiki: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) atılmış bir koyun ölüsünün yanına uğradı. Bu koyun Meymunenin azadlı bir cariyesine sadaka malından verilmişti.

Bunun üzerine Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Bunun derisini alarak tabaklasalar da ondan istifade etseler ya!» buyurdular. İzah için buraya tıklayın

Sahih Muslim 809a, Book 6, The Book of Prayer - Travellers, Hadith 311. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that whoever memorizes ten verses from the beginning of Surat al-Kahf by heart will be protected, guarded, and shielded from the trial of the Antichrist, who will appear at the end of time and claim divinity. His trial will be the greatest trial on Earth from the time of Adam's creation until the advent of the Hour, due to the supernatural events that Allah Almighty will allow him to perform to deceive his followers.

This is because the beginning of Surat al-Kahf contains wonders and signs that are greater than what the Antichrist will use to deceive the people. Therefore, whoever reflects upon it will not be deceived by the Antichrist. Another version reads: The last ten verses of the Surah from His statement: {Do the disbelievers think that they can take My slaves...}.

What it teaches

  • Pointing out the merit of Surat al-Kahf and that its beginnings or endings protect against the trial of the Antichrist.
  • It informs about the Antichrist and outlines the means of protection against him.
  • Encouraging the memorization of Surat al-Kahf in its entirety, and if one is unable to do this, then he may memorize its first and last ten verses.
  • Al-Qurtubi said regarding the reason for this: It is said: This is because of the wonders and signs found in the story of the People of the Cave; whoever reflects on it will not be astonished by the matter of the Antichrist and will not be alarmed by it, thus he will not be misled by him. It is also said that it is due to His saying: {To warn of severe punishment from Him}, emphasizing the severity of the punishment and its divine origin. This aligns with what the Antichrist will claim regarding divinity, his dominance, and the magnitude of his trial. This is why the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized the seriousness of his matter, warned against him, and sought refuge from his trial. Therefore, the meaning of the Hadīth is that whoever reads these verses, reflects on them, and understands their meaning will be cautious and safe from him.
