The question

Will the young man whom the Antichrist (Dajjal) encounters at the end of time, and who is mentioned in the hadith as "brimming with youth," be a real young man, or a man in the guise of a young man, especially since the hadith mentioned "a man" from among the Muslims who will go to meet him? Does the Dajjal possess Allah's true Paradise into which he casts the young man, causing people to think it is fire, and how will this young man die?

The answer

The man who kills the Dajjal is a young man from among the best of people. His being young does not negate his being a man, for he is a man in the prime of his youth.

The description of his death: The Dajjal wants to kill him, but Allah will make the area between his neck and collarbone copper, so he (the Dajjal) will have no power over him. He (the Dajjal) will then grab him by his hands and feet and cast him away. People will think that he cast him into the Fire, but he will only be cast into Paradise. That man will be the greatest martyr in the Ummah and the highest in rank.

What the Dajjal has is not truly Paradise and Hellfire. His fire is Paradise, and his water is fire. What people see as water is a scorching fire, and what people see as fire is cold, sweet water. So, whoever among you encounters him, let him go to the river he sees as fire and drink from it, for it is cold water.
