Summary
The hadith on the years of famine before the Dajjal appears is narrated by Ibn Majah from Abu Umamah. Its chain in Ibn Majah is weak, but other narrations, including those of Ahmad, al-Hakim and al-Tabrani, strengthen it so that the hadith is graded hasan li ghairihi. The hadith states that the food of the believers at that time is remembrance of God, and that no one knows when the Hour or its signs will occur. People are advised not to spread fear, and are encouraged to recite and reflect on the first and last 10 verses of Surah al-Kahf as protection against the Dajjal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Riwayat Ibn Majah ini berstatus daif namun ia memiliki riwayat lain yang menjadi penguat sehingga hadis berkenaan suasana kelaparan yang berlaku ketika munculnya Dajjal ini berstatus hasan li ghairihi.
