Hadith 37:413

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Malik ibn Isma'il narrated to us, he said: Zuhayr narrated to us, he said: Qabus ibn Abi Zabyan narrated to us, that his father narrated to him, he said: We mentioned the Dajjal, so we asked Ali: "When is his emergence?" He said: "He is not hidden from any believer. His right eye is obliterated, and between his eyes is [the word] 'Kafir' (disbeliever)." Ali spelled it out for us. He said: We said: "And when will that be?" He said: "When the neighbor boasts over his neighbor, and the strong eats the weak, and the ties of kinship are severed, and they differ like the difference of these fingers of mine." And he interlaced them and raised them like this. A man from the people said to him: "What do you command us to do at that time, O Commander of the Faithful?" He said: "Woe to you, you will not reach that." He said: So our souls were comforted.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا مالك بن إسماعيل قال حدثنا زهير قال حدثنا قابوس بن أبي ظبيان أن أباه حدثه قال ذكرنا الدجال فسألنا عليا متى خروجه قال لا يخفى على مؤمن عينه اليمنى مطموسة بين عينيه كافر يتهجاها لنا علي قال فقلنا ومتى يكون ذلك قال حين يفخر الجار على جاره ويأكل الشديد الضعيف وتقطع الأرحام ويختلفون اختلاف أصابعي هؤلاء وشبكها ورفعها هكذا فقال له رجل من القوم كيف تأمرنا عند ذلك أمير المؤمنين قال لا أبا لك إنك لن تدرك ذلك قال فطابت أنفسنا
