2484. Imrān bin Ḥuṣain said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There always will remain a group from my Ummah fighting upon the truth, victorious over those who oppose them, until the last of them fight Al-Masihid-Dajjal.'" (Sahih)
2484 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُمْ، حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ آخِرُهُمُ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ»

The implication of this narration in relation to the chapter heading is that Jihād will remain as the group that is victorious upon the truth will fight the Dajjāl. It is the belief of Ahl As-Sunnah Wal-Jamā'ah that Jihād with every Muslim leader of a land abides.
