ALL THE PRESSURES AND ATTACKS WILL FURTHER STRENGTHEN HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)

	When the believer [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] sees the Dajjal, he will say, ‘O People! This is the Dajjal of whom the Messenger of Allah (saas) spoke.’  The Dajjal will immediately issue his command regarding him, and that personage will be spread out on his stomach, and from behind him, he will say, ‘Hold and wound him.’ THAT PERSONAGE’S BACK AND STOMACH WILL THEN BE BROADENED BY BEATING. This time he (the Dajjal) will seize him by both hands and feet and cast him away.  PEOPLE WILL THINK THE DAJJAL HAS CAST HIM INTO THE FIRE. BUT HE WILL HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY CAST INTO PARADISE.(The Mahdism and Imamiya, Ibrahim Suleymanoglu, p. 40)

The analogical expression 'that personage's back and stomach will be broadened by beating' shows that the Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) fame and honor will spread still further as a result of the pressure and attacks against him and figuratively, indicates that his effect will increasingly spread across the world.
