But, another version has the same tiding for the last ten verses of Al-Kahf.
Allamah Tayyibi has stated that the two versions are not contradictory. The
point is that whoever memorises the initial ten verses of Al-Kahf or the last
ten will be protected from the mischief of Dajjal. (A.G.)

and Majooj and both tribes are known to many communities and their
mention is found in earlier sacred Books, The Russians and many Asian
people are descended from them (A,G). (The honourable Urdu translator
says that) the map drawn by the famous Muslim geographer Sharif Idrisi
(d: 560 AH) shows Yajooj and Majooj at the extreme northern tip of the

A prominent Companion w^Jy^;.

O The narrator is in doubt about
the
word spoken by the Prophet
A'maq or Wabiq. A'maq is a plural word and refers to 'Amaq, a place near
Wabiq between Halab and Antakiyah, Wabiq is a village near Halab in the
territory of 'Azaz. The distance between Wabiq and Halab is foar leagues,
(AG with reference to Mu'ajam Al-liuldan, by HamawL)
The word in the text of the Hadith is Al-Madinah. It can refer to the holy
city Madinah Munawwarah but in Arabic, Madinah also means any city
and so it may refer here to the well-known city in Syria, Halab itself
because this alone is a large city near A'maq and Wabiq. Some people
suggest that it refers to Bayt AI-Maqdis. (AG) But Allah knows best.

The essence of this explanation is that the beast will appear before the

Many names for the boy have been suggested in narratives, Abdullah,
Ibn Sa'id* Ibn Al-Sa'id, Ibn Siyad, Ibn Al-Siyad and Safi, These are all his
names. Perhaps he was named Abdullah when he became a Muslim.
Perhaps his mother had called him out with the name of his childhood but
the narrator mentioned his Muslim name. (A.G )

Those people who wish to study the comments may read the
Halabi edition of Al-Tasreeh Bimaa Taw at ar ft Nuzool AI*Maseeh as
revised by Shaykh Abdul Fattah. However, we might comment here that
the scholars often rate a Hadith as da'eef or Mawdoo* on the basis of a
word or line of transmission but it is saheeh or hasan on the basis of other
words or lines of transmission. Hence, if we come across a weak Hadith^ it
does not entitle us to reject possibility of another Hadith of the same
subject as being sound and strong unless the scholars themselves guide us

selected by the well-known Imam of Hadith and great teacher Mawlana

Anwar Shah Kashmiri <^^\\^- } He searched different books and collected
forty Ahadith which are all sound and strong, some rating Saheeh and
some oihers Hasan but none of them da'eef These forty have been
reproduced in the preceeding pages. But the Ahadith that are to follow are
reproduced from books whose authors do not rate them as saheeh or hasan
and make no comments at all. The Mawlana, too, could not find time to
investigate the ratings of these Ahadith to determine whether they are
saheeh, hasan or da'eef etc. Therefore, we have distinguished these
Ahadith from the previous with the foregoing caption and in this way we
call upon the Ulama to investigate the true nature of these Ahadith and
determine whether they are saheeh, hasan> etc. May Allah reward Shaykh
Abdul Fattah Abu Ghaddah the well-known religious scholar of Syria who
undertook this task and accomplished it very carefully. He has reproduced
in his Arabic marginal notes to the Halabi edition of this book the valued
opinion of scholars of Hadith on these Ahadith, I have a copy before me
and 1 learn from it that of the Ahadith upto # 101, three are da'eef (# 48, 50
and 71 ) and four are Mawdoo' (# 42, 43, 49 and 60). The brief footnotes of

see in the next Hadith that Hajjaj bin Yusuf had raised the same objection

of the Words
These words are part of verse 61 of surah az-Zukhruf(43). The word

fid is read in two ways and both are known from the Prophet & and his
Companions. One of the readings is JUii (la 'alamun) and the above Hadith
adopts this reading. It means sign, mark, portent. Hence, the meaning of
these words with this reading would be "(The descent of) Isa fj**j* is a
sign of the Hour." This explanation of the verse is also given by the
Prophet^ as we will see in the Hadith 2/103,
The other reading of the word is p*i (la 'ilmun) and this reading is more
adopted than the first one. The meaning of the words with this reading
would be "Isa f*Jn> is a means to know the certainty of the Resurrection."
This would be in the sense that he was born without a father proving
thereby that Allah Who can do this is also able to cause Resurrection.
Accordingly, this reading pertains to the birth of Sayyidina Isa,^Cjn> and

This version of surah Aai Imran is part of glad tidings which the angels
conveyed to Sayyidinah Maryam ?-& v* from Allah, telling her that a son
will be born to her without a father, whose name will be Maseeh Isa Ibn
Maryam. One of his characteristics will be that he will speak to people from
the cradle (as a miracle) white he will be in his mother's lap and he will also
speak when he will be of mature age,
