I. The Messenger of Allah said, "You will follow your predecessors to the extent that if they enter a reptile/snake's hole, you will follow"- He was asked "O Messenger of Allah! Are they the Jews and Christians (who are to be thus followed)?- He replied, "Who else?" [10]
II. The Messenger of Allah said, "A time is coming when my followers will mimic and ape the Bani Israelis step by step, if one of them openly engages in incest with his mother one from my Ummah will soon follow." [11]
In this particular Hadis, the Messenger has only mentioned the Jews, but needless to say, Jews and Christians are in reality one nation as I have discussed earlier; the term 'Bani Israeli' can be used to denote both Jews and Christians; and that is what the Messenger has implied. In these two Hadis, he has undoubtedly meant the Dajjal short of naming it.
