Jamaal Ibn Fareehaan al-Haarithee in al-Ajwibatul-Mufeedah
(p. 92),
“Said al-Mawdoodee in his book Rasaa‘il wa Masaa‘il
(p. 57), published in 1351H,
“The Messenger of Allaah
(sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) used to think that
the Dajjaal (Anti-Christ) would come out in his time,
or close to his time. However, 1350 years passed away
and many long generations came and went, yet the Dajjaal
did not come out. So it is confirmed that what the
Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) thought did
not prove true!!”
And he added to the edition published in 1362H,
“Indeed, 1350 years
have passed…yet the Dajjaal has not come out, so this
is the reality.”
So this is clear rejection of the emergence of the
Dajjaal, whose emergence has been narrated concurrently
(tawaatur) in authentic ahaadeeth. And he said
(p. 55),
“It is
confirmed that everything which is related in the
ahaadeeth of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam)
concerning the Dajjaal is the opinion and analogical
deduction of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam),
and it is a doubtful misgiving from his affair.”
So is this not a rejection of the Dajjaal? Is this
not a denial of the narration of the Messenger (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam), about which Allaah said,
“And he does not speak
from his own desire. It is revelation inspired to
him.”
And he says in Arba’ah Mustalahaatul-Qur‘aanil-Asaasiyyah
(p. 156),
“Allaah
the Glorified commanded him (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa
sallam) in Sooratun-Nasr to repent to his Lord due
to what emanated from him in deficiencies and shortcomings
in distributing the shares.”
Was not what Allaah described His Prophet (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam) from the Attribute of al-’Uboodiyyah,
which is from the most complete of human attributes
sufficient for him? So He – the Sublime and Exalted
- described him like that in many of the aayaat from
His Book! Where is he from the statement of the Messenger
(sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) in the hadeeth of
the three people who asked about his worship – and
it is as if he is discussing this very affair – he
said, “As for me, then
I fear Allaah more than any of you…” To the
end of the hadeeth.
