The Fabricated Hadith That Becomes the Testament for the Emergence of Dajjal in the Persona of Mahdi

Dissection of Hadith 19 Paragraph 258-2 from Bihar al-Anwar Volume 36 Chapter 40

Introduction

Paragraph 258-2 of Hadith 19 in Bihar al-Anwar continues the strange narrative that began in Paragraph 258-1. This time, it is claimed that a mysterious book was discovered, the material of which is unknown, as is the ink used to write it — but it could be folded like an ordinary book.

The content of this "book" begins with a reminder about “delivering wisdom to its rightful people” and a warning not to “oppress wisdom.”

This dissection will prove that Paragraph 258-2 is also a fabrication that contradicts the Qur’an, authentic hadith, rational logic, historical fact, and fails under the scrutiny of modern scientific examination.

Arabic Text:

فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ تَأَمَّلْنَاهُ، فَرَأَيْنَا كِتَابًا لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ، وَلَا أَدْرِي الَّذِي كَتَبَ بِهِ مَا هُوَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَنْطَوِي كَمَا يَنْطَوِي الْكُتُبُ، فَقَرَأْتُ فِيهِ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَوَّلِ، لَا شَيْءَ قَبْلَهُ، لَا تَمْنَعُوا الْحِكْمَةَ أَهْلَهَا، فَتَظْلِمُوهُمْ، وَلَا تُعْطُوهَا غَيْرَ مُسْتَحِقِّهَا، فَتَظْلِمُوهَا.

English Translation:

When we arrived at the location, we examined it and found a book. I do not know what material it was made of, nor do I know with what it was written — except that it could be folded like a regular book. I then read in it: "In the Name of Allah, The First — nothing came before Him. Do not withhold wisdom from its rightful people, for you will wrong them. And do not give it to those who are undeserving, for you will wrong the wisdom itself."

1. Allah Grants Wisdom Openly, Not in Secret

Qur'anic Verse:

يُؤْتِى ٱلْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِىَ خَيْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

"Allah grants wisdom to whom He wills. Whoever is granted wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will take heed except those of sound intellect."

(Surah al-Baqarah, 2:269)

Explanation:

This verse introduces hikmah (wisdom) as a great divine gift given to certain individuals by Allah. However, there are important clarifications that must be made, so that this verse is not misused to justify claims of "secret scriptures" or "hidden wisdom" as in Hadith 258-2.

Wisdom is not secret or mystical — it is a living, practical understanding made manifest in real life. The verse does not mention wisdom being buried in stones, or hidden in ancient manuscripts, or stored for centuries. Rather:

• It is something directly granted to individuals.

• It is something that produces good and can be applied.

If wisdom were merely a buried document, it would not match the Qur’anic definition that emphasizes its real-time benefit and practical influence on people’s lives and intellects.

The verse ends with:

وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ

"Only those of sound intellect will take heed."

This shows that wisdom is open to anyone who uses their reason, not reserved for elites or hidden sects. It is not something you “discover” in a cave or beneath a stone slab.

Wisdom in Islam is taught through:

• Revelation that is recited and understood.

• Prophets who teach clearly and publicly.

• Actions of the Prophet ﷺ that are seen, understood, and recorded.

The use of the word hikmah in 258-2 as if it represents a “secret book” is a betrayal of its Qur'anic meaning. Verse 2:269 does not support such claims — it refutes them.

2. The Prohibition of Injustice Is Declared Openly, Not Hidden in Mysterious Writings

Qur'anic Verses:

وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ تِبْيَـٰنًۭا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

"And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims."

(Surah al-Nahl, 16:89)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَـٰنِ وَإِيتَآئِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

"Indeed, Allah commands justice and good conduct and giving to relatives, and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He instructs you that perhaps you will be reminded."

(Surah al-Nahl, 16:90)

Explanation:

Verse 89 clearly states that the Qur'an is a complete and open clarification of all matters — there is nothing hidden for elites only. It contains guidance, mercy, and good news.

Verse 90 then describes the core content of that revelation: justice, kindness, charity, and the prohibition of injustice and corruption — all taught openly and clearly.

There is no concept in the Qur'an where divine justice is conveyed through mysterious documents or knowledge locked away for a future generation.

The alleged quote in 258-2 says:

“Do not withhold wisdom from its people... and do not give it to the undeserving...”

If Allah truly intended to warn against injustice in this way, why would He hide it in an unknown, buried manuscript? Verses 89–90 show the opposite: every law and warning has already been given publicly in the Qur’an.

Therefore, the claim in 258-2 contradicts the very purpose of revelation: guidance must be clear and universal — not stored in a stone to be read later.

3. Severe Threat to the Prophet If He Hides Any Revelation

Qur'anic Verses:

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ

"Had he [Muhammad] made up about Us some [false] statements,"

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ

"We would have seized him by the right hand,"

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ

"Then severed from him the aorta (life vein)."

(Surah al-Haqqah, 69:44–46)

Explanation:

This is one of the most terrifying threats in the Qur'an — and it is directed not at disbelievers, but at the Prophet ﷺ himself, to emphasize the absolute sanctity of revelation.

If the Prophet ﷺ himself could not invent, add, or conceal even one sentence without being killed by Allah — then how can we accept a narrative that says he hid a secret document?

The story in 258-2 implies that the Prophet ﷺ concealed revelation, contradicting this divine threat. That alone proves it is a lie.

"We would sever his life vein" — the al-watin — is a clear warning that any tampering with revelation equals death, without delay or mercy.

But the Prophet ﷺ lived, taught, and died with honour. Therefore, he could not have hidden anything. If he had, this verse says Allah would have ended his life instantly.

Only one being is described in eschatological traditions as spreading false revelation without dying immediately — and that is Dajjal. Thus, this hadith smells of his deception.

Final Conclusion

Therefore, Hadith 19 Paragraph 258-2 from Bihar al-Anwar is a fabrication that directly contradicts the Qur’an. It is nothing but a staged narrative to prepare the masses for a false Mahdi — as part of a greater deception crafted by Dajjal against the Ummah.
