The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then described him for us and said, ‘Perhaps some of those who have seen me or heard my words will still be alive to confront him.’

They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless and grant you peace—how will our hearts be on that day? The same as they are today?’

Al-Tirmidhī added, ‘There are also reports on this subject from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Busr and others.’

This is a ḥasan, singular hadith transmitted from Abū ʿUbaydah.

Ibn Saʿd reports in al-Ṭabaqāt: Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar informed us, saying: Thawr ibn Yazīd narrated to me, from Khālid ibn Maʿdān, from Mālik ibn Yakhāmir, that he described Abū ʿUbaydah as follows: ‘He was a slender man, with a drawn face, a light beard, tall, stooped (2), and both of his front teeth were broken (3)(4).’

Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar also informed us, saying: Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us, from Yazīd ibn Rūmān, who said: ‘Ibn Maẓʿūn, ʿUbaydah ibn al-Ḥārith, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, and Abū Salamah…’

(1) Musnad Ahmad 1/195 (abridged); Abu Dawud, Sunan, no. 4756, Book of Sunnah – chapter on the Dajjal; al-Tirmidhi, Sunan, no. 2235, Book of Tribulations – chapter on the Dajjal. All the transmitters are trustworthy, except that Abd Allah ibn Suraqa did not hear directly from Abu Ubayda. Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi adds that the hadith is also reported by Abd Allah ibn Busr, Abd Allah ibn al-Harith ibn Juz, Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal, and Abu Hurayra; he grades it hasan gharib and states that it is only known through the narration of Khalid al-Hadda. Al-Bukhari likewise affirms that Abd Allah ibn Suraqa did not hear from Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah.

The editor of the printed edition preferred the reading ajna, quoting Ibn Saad, and noted that the two words are synonymous. (3) al-athram: a person whose incisors are broken. (4) The report is found in Ibn Saad, al-Tabaqat 3/1/303, and in al-Hakim, al-Mustadrak 3/264.
