The answer in brief
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth holds that the Dajjal is not a man: the reports are defective or refer to the devil, he is absent from the Quran, and the narrations conflict and are tied to a conquest of Constantinople that happened centuries ago.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says people selectively read details as metaphor or exaggeration while insisting other details are literal. Turning to the Dajjal, with which people seem obsessed, he says most of the Jesus hadith do not mention him killing the Dajjal and that the Dajjal narrations conflict: some have the Prophet suspecting a Jewish man of Madinah, Ibn Sayyad, of being the Dajjal, spying on him and testing him with a hidden word, which Mufti finds disrespectful to the Prophet, and refusing Umar permission to kill him without saying Jesus would deal with him. He says the Dajjal is not mentioned in the Quran, nor is Jesus's return, and that it would not have been difficult for God to say so instead of leaving it to twisted interpretations. He notes some scholars took the Dajjal linguistically as the deceiver or the devil, and that Abd al-Razzaq [?] and Ibn Taymiyya considered whether he is a man or a system; his own understanding is that the Dajjal is definitely not a man and that the reports are fabricated in meaning or defective, or refer to the devil or at best to a future illusion. He adds that the greatest fitna every prophet warned of melts like salt in water the moment he sees Jesus, who kills him anyway, and that sahih reports tie his coming to the conquest of Constantinople, which happened almost six hundred years ago.

teaches that that they will always be disagreements people will always do evil the Chloe the Quran teaches that the hadith iya says this hadith e essays of Jesus Christ when he comes evil will disappear and the Quran and the Sunna teach that everything has a nature humans animals these hadith over here teach all animals will all become vegetarians they will all become like this and these people do you know what they will do they will then interpret they will then take all but this doesn't mean this is a metaphor this is this this is exaggeration oh really so now we can exaggerate
so why not with this so why not here so why is it one thing has to be literal everything else can be metaphor right so so this is an important thing so now this is important I'm sorry those people saying about this this is important that I give this backdrop alright so people say what about the Dajjal this the job that people have seem to have become obsessed with once again first of all most of these do not mention anything about Jesus coming to kill did the job some of them do but this that gel there is so many
conflicting narrations this this hadith by the way that the Dajjal was around in the prophet's time this hadith that the Dajjal by the way the Prophet thought some guy called South eveness IKEA this Ignis a yard character who was a Jewish guy lived in Medina the Prophet used to think he was the gern this is what the hadith say and a start for I find it blasphemous they described the Prophet as he used to sneak around behind this Ignace a yard and spy on him and I find that disrespectful to our beloved messenger right and he's to spy on him and then he comes to him and in this famous hadith oh and he says oh I've hidden something
in my mind can you tell me what it is and dokdo and the person says oh it's Dothan the Prophet says how it was surah Duhon and it's a popular hadith the Prophet thought that guy was the judge in this hadith now when Omar says oh let me go kill him and the Prophet says no how much do you can't kill him if he's the judge but I'm here why didn't the Prophet say oh but wait don't worry Jesus Christ is gonna come so why didn't he say that so this doesn't make any sense this whole thing about the jail is a conjured narrative just like ASA by the way this the jail is not mentioned
anyway in the Quran there is no people trying to say that the Quran speaks about Jesus the Quran does not speak about Jesus coming but you can take certain verses and twist them to mean that that's you that's up to you but a lot wasn't difficult for a lot to say and Jesus will come back it wasn't difficult he could have said it if you believe that God did speak about Jesus in the Quran then why not just speak about it look God didn't speak about the judge so that's fine you're gonna say look he didn't speak about the journaling or on he didn't speak about a magazine the Quran fine but you if you claim he did speak about Jesus then why not just be
open and say why hinton give all these kind of you know these kind of twisted interpretations why not to say oh we will send you back never says that there isn't a single verse in the Quran right so now these hadith that are all to do with the Dajjal i've mentioned and to do with jesus are all problematic so the Dajjal i have mentioned that comes in separate hadith there is references in some hadith the JAL could some scholars have said is also a reference just to the devil because the Dajjal linguistically
means they kind of devil a deceiver okay in some hadith you could say that oh that the gel if you do accept it what does it mean some people in the past like I'm the rock - Adi and other people even even it say me I felt that maybe that okay whether the Dajjal is a man or not they felt whether he's a man or not but he's like a system I would have thought in my understanding that the gel is definitely not a man 100% not a man he's in the hadith the hadith are either wrong and fabricated or Mis related or the hadith and when I say fabricated I mean the meaning overall is fabricated
the hadith are weak with defects now or it's speaking about the devil or maybe at best you're speaking about an illusion in the future so if you because if you take this hadith look no prophet has come except he warned is omar about the Dajjal it is the greatest of fitna these are heavy but then it says oh as soon as Jesus Christ lands what does the hadith say the job but as soon as he sees him for that become a global Miller filmer he will melt like salt in water without hardly a great fit now was it that was
hardly any you know that's hardly any sorry you know oh that's it this is what everybody was warning about now when he comes and Jesus will just come and he will just melt like salt and then it says but before he's melting Jesus will run up and kill him as well because he says I want to kill him myself as well which once again goes against the character of Jesus because if he's melting just let him melt well you know why are you know I have to kill him myself personally but okay and this is the great fitna that as soon as he sees
Jesus he melts and this is what everybody since Adam has been warning about this is people this is the ultimate Wrestlemania of all times and when it happens it's just like as soon as Jesus comes he just melts and by the way there are many sahih hadith many sahih hadith that say that as soon as the Muslims conquered Constantinople and they know these heavy these people know these are these as soon as they conquer Constantinople that the gel will come and Jesus Christ will come that is asahi ADIZ as soon as muslims conquer Constantinople they will hear a cry that
the Dajjal is here they will rush back to Damascus when they get there the jail will not be there but Jesus Christ will descend upon them they will tell him to lead them in praise this is this is Asahi Constantinople's being conquered since over 600 years almost 600 years so the thing is we read Jesus Christ where is the Dajjal so these people now they going to twist this they're gonna say oh here but this doesn't mean that that doesn't mean that widening it is face it we've got a huge problem with the detail it clashes with the Quran it
