Doesn't the hadith that describes women as the greatest temptation for men contradict the hadith that describes the Dajjal as the greatest temptation for the believer?

The answer

Muslim narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Between the creation of Adam and the Hour's coming, there is no creation greater than the Dajjal," or "no affair greater than the Dajjal." This refers to the magnitude of his significance and his trial, not the size of his body. This does not contradict the : "I have not left behind me a trial more harmful to men than women," because the trial of women is one of the continuous trials of desires that confront the believer, and the verse has shown the precedence of women over other desires. As for the trial of the Dajjal, it is one of the trials of doubts and not one of the trials of desires; it has not yet come, and it is a trial for everyone, not exclusive to men.
