Is the Samaritan the Antichrist who will appear at the End of Time, and what is the interpretation of the verses: "He said, 'Then what is your case, O Samiri?' {95} He said, 'I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful from the footprint of the Messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me.' {96} He said, 'Then go, for indeed in this life it is for you to say, "No touch," and indeed for you is an appointment you will not fail, and look at your god to which you remained devoted; we will surely burn it and then we will scatter it in the sea, scattering'?"

There is no evidence to prove that the Antichrist (Dajjal) is the Samiri, for matters of the unseen cannot be asserted with certainty except with authentic proof. "What is your matter?" (مَا خَطْبُكَ) means "What is your concern and affair?" and "I perceived" (بَصُرْتُ) means "I came to know." Allah's statement, "Then indeed, for you in life" (فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ) is general regarding the duration of the Samiri's life, and does not necessarily mean his life will extend for all eternity.
