Abu Abdullah said: After my return that time, I resolved not to transgress against Abdul Qadir and not to search for him. If he was the Dajjal, then Jesus son of Mary would be the one to kill him.
He said: I did not see Abdul Qadir again after that except on a few occasions when I returned to Yemen. Once I saw him walking on the road, and once they informed me that he had ridden with my maternal cousin in his taxi, along with my brother Ali and my cousin Adel. After he got off, he paid the fare and then left. I heard another person say that he saw him in a football field with a team of youngsters he was coaching, walking behind him as if they were his followers.
The Burning of Abu Abdullah's House: After a while, a fire broke out in Abu Abdullah's house, and Abu Abdullah's brother, who was six or seven years old, died. Abu Abdullah's mother was also injured, and a part of her arm was stuck to her side from the burns. Abu Abdullah's father's hands were injured as a result of his attempts to extinguish the fire.
The strange thing is that Abdul Qadir later contacted one of Abu Abdullah's relatives and hinted in his message that he was the cause of the fire.
The Danger of Going to See Abdul Qadir: After the story of Abdul Qadir spread among Abu Abdullah's close circle, a group of young men – some of whom were professional photographers – resolved to travel to see this suspicious figure and verify whether the writing on his forehead could be seen or not, and to photograph that writing, and him if they could.
What happened was that they headed to Hodeidah from eastern Yemen for this purpose. While they were on the way, discord, animosity, and disagreement crept among them. Their opinions diverged, their group scattered, and verbal altercations occurred before they reached their goal. They turned back from where they came.
When they returned to their city, they denied themselves and were amazed at the state of disagreement they had reached. They were even surprised that they had reached such an unprecedented level of interaction with each other.
It seems that the devils prevented them from reaching their destination, in order to preserve Abdul Qadir's image from spreading among people. We have previously noted Abdul Qadir's eagerness not to leave any trace and to remove his picture from the aviation office.
Therefore, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, was keen to paint a picture of the Antichrist in the imagination of every Muslim, describing him in precise detail, so that anyone who heard it would imagine seeing him with their own eyes.
