Dream:
Salam Alekom Wr Wb,
This is a dream my cousin saw (around 3am). I will convey it in his words:
“I saw that Dajjal has arrived and has a very big chain-saw.
He addresses to the people and says:
“Is this your Madeena city that you’re so proud of ?”
Then he goes on cutting and destroying the pillars of Madeena till it collapses all.
Then he turns to the people and start cutting/killing them.
And then he turns to me and says: “Do you accept me?”
And I’m kind of guessing what to do. Then he splits me with the chain-saw as well.”
(end of dream…woke up)
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
This dream is a reflection of reality of Dajjal, who will come and seek to destroy the religion of Prophet Muhammad (s) as represented by al-Madina. However, in reality, according to the hadith of the Prophet (s) al-Madinah is one of the two cities the Anti-Christ is not allowed to enter, as the Prophet (s) said, “There will be no place that the Dajjal will not enter except Makka and Madina….” (Sahih Muslim, “Kitab Ashrat as-Sa`at.” from Anas bin Malik)
Abu Hurayra (r) related that the Prophet (s) said:
Shall I tell you something about the Dajjal which no prophet has ever told his people before me? The Dajjal is one-eyed and will bring with him something which will resemble Paradise and Hell; but that which he calls Paradise will in fact be Hell. I have warned you against him as Noah warned his people against him. (Sahih Bukhari (4:104). Sahih Muslim #2936.)
Cutting you in half represents the reality of the following hadith:
…He (ad-Dajjal) would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would be at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels…. (Sahih Muslim, #2937 “Kitab al-Fitan.” Abu Dawud, Sunan #4321, “Kitab al-Malahim.” Tirmidhi #2241 “Kitab al-Fitan.)
and Allah knows best,
