How can the Hadith of Tamim Al-Dari concerning the Dajjal (Antichrist), and that he is alive until his emergence, be reconciled with the Prophet’s Hadith, "There will be no Companion alive after the year 110 AH"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith of Tamim Al-Dari indicates that the Dajjal is alive and present, and this does not contradict the hadith "No one on the face of the earth will remain"; because the hadith of Tamim is specific, and the hadith of Ibn Umar is general, so the specific is an exception to the general. Al-Shinqiti explained in "Adwa' Al-Bayan" that the Dajjal was excepted by a sound text, and this confirms the jurisprudential rule that the general remains an argument regarding its individual instances unless a specific text comes to particularize it.
