Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I tell you something about the Anti-Christ that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hellfire. What he says is Paradise will actually be Hellfire. Indeed, I warn you as Nūh (Noah) warned his people against him."

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs his Companions about the Anti-Christ and his descriptions and signs that no other prophet before him had spoken of. This includes: The fact that he is one-eyed. Allah Almighty gave him something like Paradise and Hellfire that the eyes would perceive as such. His Paradise will, in fact, be Hellfire, and his Hellfire will be Paradise. He admits those who obey him to this Paradise, which looks to be as such to people but is actually a scorching fire; and those who disobey him, he will admit him to Hellfire, which appears to be as such to people but is actually a beautiful Paradise. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then warned us against his trial just as Noah had warned his people against him.Benefits

Surviving the trial of the Anti-Christ is ensured through true faith, resorting to Allah Almighty, seeking refuge with Him from his trial in the last Tashahhud, and memorizing the first ten verses of Surat al-Kahf.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) showed great care for his Ummah as he clarified to Muslims some of the traits of the Anti-Christ that any other prophet had not clarified before him.
