In the study of the reflection of the contents of the "Dajjal" in Persian poetry, the confrontation between Dajjal and Imam Mahdi (AS) and Jesus (AS) is worthy of attention. A group of poets know that Mehdi (AS) against the Antichrist, others, Jesus (AS), and some, both of them. When this confrontation arises, in fact, it is not just an expression of an event, but it is also a ground that the poet confronts other things, such as the confrontation of body and soul, winter and spring, wisdom and love, the king and the opponents, the people of truth and those who are false, good and bad and so on. This paper first examines the confrontation of Dajjal with Imam Mahdi and Jesus in Islamic Tradditions and then he expresses this confrontation in Persian poetry, along with poetry evidence. Finally, this article analyzes the issue of why a poet knows Jesus and another poet, Mehdi and another poet both of them as the murderer of Dajjal.
