Is this narration authentic?
“There would be people in the latter times who would deny/consider events relating to Dajjal as a fiction”
Answer
Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) has recorded this with a weak chain, as the statement of Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1 pg. 23. Refer: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 7 pg. 207)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
