Ahadith about Dajjal and Portents of the Hour
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said "in the interpretation of the Ayah reported: {You are the best of peoples ever raised up for (the benefit of) mankind...} (3:110): The best for mankind are those who bring them with chains round their necks till they embrace Islam (and thereby save them from the eternal punishment in the Hell-fire, and make them enter Jannah in the Hereafter)."[Al-Bukhari].


Commentary:
This is in a way the explanation of the concerned Verse of the Qur'an. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) says: In this Verse those fighters have been named as the best of the Ummah who fight with the infidels whom they take prisoners and they ultimately accept Islam. Hence, they become a means of acceptance of Faith to them, and are entitled to more rewards from Allah.
