Summary
The Dajjal's trial is among the severest that will pass over believers in the last days: he emerges one-eyed, claiming lordship, attended by those who believe him among soothsayers and liars. He passes over people for decades, each day like a thousand years except one like seventy years, during which people suffer intensely. Reports say he comes bearing what resemble paradise and fire, attended by treasuries of every kind, and that many believe him. Sunnis agree that whoever believes him and disbelieves God enters hell, whoever disbelieves him and believes God enters paradise, and that Jesus kills him.
