Summary

In the Sheikh's account, the Dajjal is the trial of the last days. He is said to carry food and drink, and the Sheikh gives the answer found in the reports that believers are provided for through remembrance (needs_source). 1 2

Food and drink

He relates that a man asked the Prophet ﷺ how they would eat and drink with the Dajjal, who has food and drink; the Prophet laughed until his back teeth showed, and answered that God provides for believers by what He inspires them with (needs_source). 1 2

Remembrance as provision

He says that believers in that time will be inspired with glorification, praise, magnification and affirmation of God's oneness, as a person is fed and satisfied (needs_source). 2 3

Many trials, and reliance on God

The Sheikh says the Dajjal's trial is not the only one, since there are many impostors, and that God protects the believers from it (his view). 3
