2235. Az-Zuhri narrated from Sālim, from Ibn 'Umar who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood among the people, he praised Allāh as is due to Him, then he mentioned the Dajjāl and he said: 'Indeed I warn you of him. There has not been a Prophet except that he warned his people, and Nūh indeed warned his people – but I am to say something about him that no Prophet has said to his people: You should know that he is one-eyed, and Allāh is certainly not one-eyed.'" Az-Zuhri said: " 'Umar bin Thābit Al-Anṣārī informed me that some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ informed him, that one day, the Prophet ﷺ was cautioning them against Fitnah and he said: 'You must know that not one of you will ever see his Lord until he dies. And indeed, he (the
Dajjāl) has “Kāfir” written between his eyes; everyone who is averse to his behavior shall read it.”) (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Allāh is free from any kind of defect or blemish and is endowed with only nobleness and perfection. The Dajjāl will claim Divinity for himself, but will be imperfect in every respect, and all his defects will be evident to each man of faith. He will claim Lordship for himself, and will be visible to each naked eye like any mortal individual. As for Allāh, no one can see Him with his mortal eyes in this life on earth. Another proof of the Dajjāl’s falsity will be the fact that the word “Kāfir” shall be inscribed between his two eyes, which every Muslim - literate or illiterate - will be able to read.
