The Dajjal And The Return of Jesus_ Yusuf Ibn Abdullah Ibn Yusuf Al Wabil

THE DAJJAL AND THE RETURN OF JESUS
Harmonising between the various
narrations, concerning the description of the eyes
of Dajjal
It has been observed in the preceding reports that some of
them describe his right with a'war, 21 while in some his left eye is
described with a'war, and all of these narrations are (tabfb) authentic
...
al-I:lafi? ibn I:lajr held the view that the I;adith of 'Abdullah
ibn 'Umar cited in both al-Bukhari and Muslim - in which his
right eye is described with a'war is more stronger than the narration
in $al;Il; Muslim - in which his left eye is described with
a'1var, because something agreed upon its authenticity is more
stronger than something besides it. 22
al-QadI 'Iyad said: 'Both eyes of the Dajjal are defective, because
all the narrations (about him) are (ta#h) authentic. So the
eye which is effaced (matmusap), also and defaced (mamsup), is
the 'a'war - that is the eye whose vision has gone, which is the
right eye: As occurs in the l;adith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar. Whereas
on the left eye there will be a thick piece of skin (covering it),
which will be protruding, which is also defective. So the Dajjal
in reality, is one eyed in both - that is, impaired. For (linguisticall;j
one who is ,1/-a;;nr is considered defective. Consequendy,
both of the Dajjal's eyes are impaired, one due to its sight being
removed (completely), and the other because of its
defectiveness.'
21
Blindness, being one eyed.
