How can the description of the Dajjal in the Hadith of Al-Jassasah as "the greatest human being we have ever seen in creation and the strongest in bond" be reconciled with other descriptions in the Two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) that he is "a short man, bow-legged, with very curly hair, most resembling 'Abd al-'Uzza ibn Qatan"?
