It was narrated by 'Ali bin Hujr As-Sa'di, a Hadith similar to the narration of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir (no. 7373), with this chain of narrators. And after saying: "There was once water here" he added: "Then they will march until they come to the mountain of Khamar, which is the mountain of Bait Al-Maqdis, and they will say: 'We have killed those who are on earth; now let us kill those who are in heaven.' They will shoot their arrows into the sky, and Allah will send their arrows back to them smeared with blood.'' In the report of Ibn Hujr it says: "I have sent down some slaves of Mine, against whom no one will dare to fight.''

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ حُجْرٍ دَخَلَ حَدِيثُ أَحَدِهِمَا فِى حَدِيثِ الآخَرِ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ. نَحْوَ مَا ذَكَرْنَا وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ « لَقَدْ كَانَ بِهَذِهِ مَرَّةً مَاءٌ ثُمَّ يَسِيرُونَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ الْخَمَرِ وَهُوَ جَبَلُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَقَدْ قَتَلْنَا مَنْ فِى الأَرْضِ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَقْتُلْ مَنْ فِى السَّمَاءِ. فَيَرْمُونَ بِنُشَّابِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَرُدُّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ نُشَّابَهُمْ مَخْضُوبَةً دَمًا ». وَفِى رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ حُجْرٍ « فَإِنِّى قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ عِبَادًا لِى لاَ يَدَىْ لأَحَدٍ بِقِتَالِهِمْ ».

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "One day the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spoke to us at length about the Dajjal. Among what he told us he said: 'He will come, but it will be forbidden to him to enter the mountain passes of Al-Madinah. So he will go to the barren tracts near Al-Madinah, and on that day, a man will go out to him who is the best of mankind, or one of the best of mankind, and he will say to him: "I bear witness that you are the Dajjal of whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spoke." The Dajjal will say: "If I kill this man and bring him back to life, do you think that you will have any doubts about the matter?" They will say: "No." So he will kill him then bring him back to life, and when he is brought back' to life, he will say: "By Allah, I was never more certain of you than I am now."' He said: 'The Dajjal will want to kill him but he will not be able to do so."'

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The Dajjal will emerge, and a man from among the believers will go towards him, and he will be met by armed men - the armed men of the Dajjal. They will say to him: "Where are you going?" He will say: "I am going to this one who has emerged." They will say to him: "Don't you believe in our lord?" He will say: "There is nothing hidden about our Lord." They will say: "Kill him." They will say to one another: "Didn't your lord forbid you to kill anyone without his consent?" So they will take him to the Dajjal, and when the believer sees him, he will say: "O people, this is the Dajjal whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) mentioned." The Dajjal will order that he be made to lie on his stomach, on the ground. He will say: "Take him and strike him on the head," and he will be beaten severely on his back and stomach. Then he will say: "Don't you believe in me?" He will say: "You are the false Messiah." Then it will be ordered that he be cut in two with a saw, from the middle of his head to between his legs. Then the Dajjal will walk between the two pieces and will say to him: "Get up," and he will stand up straight. Then he will say to him: "Do you believe in me?" He will say: "It has only made me more certain about you." Then he will say: "O people, he will not do it to anyone after me." Then the Dajjal will take hold of him to slaughter him, but the area between his neck and collar bone will be turned into copper, and he will not be able to harm him. Then he will take hold of his hands and feet, and throw him, and the people will think that he threw him into the Fire, but he will be thrown into Paradise." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "This will be the greatest of martyrs before the Lord of the Worlds."

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُهْزَاذَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَرْوَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِى حَمْزَةَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِى الْوَدَّاكِ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فَيَتَوَجَّهُ قِبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَتَلْقَاهُ الْمَسَالِحُ مَسَالِحُ الدَّجَّالِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَيْنَ تَعْمِدُ فَيَقُولُ أَعْمِدُ إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِى خَرَجَ - قَالَ - فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَوَمَا تُؤْمِنُ بِرَبِّنَا فَيَقُولُ مَا بِرَبِّنَا خَفَاءٌ. فَيَقُولُونَ اقْتُلُوهُ . فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ نَهَاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوا أَحَدًا دُونَهُ - قَالَ - فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ بِهِ إِلَى الدَّجَّالِ فَإِذَا رَآهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا الدَّجَّالُ الَّذِى ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ فَيَأْمُرُ الدَّجَّالُ بِهِ فَيُشَبَّحُ فَيَقُولُ خُذُوهُ وَشُجُّوهُ. فَيُوسَعُ ظَهْرُهُ وَبَطْنُهُ ضَرْبًا - قَالَ - فَيَقُولُ أَوَمَا تُؤْمِنُ بِى قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ الْكَذَّابُ - قَالَ - فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ فَيُؤْشَرُ بِالْمِئْشَارِ مِنْ مَفْرِقِهِ حَتَّى يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ يَمْشِى الدَّجَّالُ بَيْنَ الْقِطْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ قُمْ. فَيَسْتَوِى قَائِمًا - قَالَ - ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَتُؤْمِنُ بِى فَيَقُولُ مَا ازْدَدْتُ فِيكَ إِلاَّ بَصِيرَةً - قَالَ - ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَفْعَلُ بَعْدِى بِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ - قَالَ - فَيَأْخُذُهُ الدَّجَّالُ لِيَذْبَحَهُ فَيُجْعَلَ مَا بَيْنَ رَقَبَتِهِ إِلَى تَرْقُوَتِهِ نُحَاسًا فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً - قَالَ - فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ فَيَقْذِفُ بِهِ فَيَحْسِبُ النَّاسُ أَنَّمَا قَذَفَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّمَا أُلْقِىَ فِى الْجَنَّةِ ». فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « هَذَا أَعْظَمُ النَّاسِ شَهَادَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ».

It was narrated that Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "No one asked the Prophet (s.a.w) about the Dajjal more than I did. He said: (s.a.w) 'Why are you worried about him? He will not harm you.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, they say that he will have food and rivers with him.' He said: 'He is too insignificant before Allah for that."'

حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْعَبْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرُّؤَاسِىُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِى خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِى حَازِمٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ مَا سَأَلَ أَحَدٌ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُ قَالَ « وَمَا يُنْصِبُكَ مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَضُرُّكَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ مَعَهُ الطَّعَامَ وَالأَنْهَارَ قَالَ « هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ».

Ya'qub bin Asim bin 'Urwah bin Mas'ud Ath-Thaqafi said: "I heard 'Abdullah bin 'Amr, when a man came to him and said: 'What is this Hadith that you are narrating? You say that the Hour will begin when such and such happens.' He said: 'Subhan Allah - or La ilaha illallah!' - or similar words. 'I have almost decided that I will never narrate anything to anyone. I only said that after a short time you will see a major event, the Ka'bah will be burned. And such and such will happen, and such and such will happen.' Then he said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Dajjal will appear among my Ummah, and he will stay for forty." I do not know if it is forty days, or forty months, or forty years. "Then Allah will send 'Eisa bin Mariam, who looks like 'Urwah bin Mas'ud, and he will pursue him and kill him. Then the people will remain for seven years, with no enmity between any two people. Then Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of Ash-Sham, and there will be no one left on the face of the earth in whose heart there is a speck goodness or faith, but it will grab him. Even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, it would enter upon him unit it grabs him."' "He said: 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), who said: "There will be left the most evil of people, who will be as careless as birds, and be as cruel as wild animals. They will not acknowledge any good or denounce any evil. Then the Shaitan will appear to them and will say: Will you not listen to me?' They will say: 'What do you command us to do?' He will command them to worship idols, but despite that, they will have ample provision and a good life. "Then the Trumpet will be blown, and no one will hear it but he will tilt his head to one side. The first one to hear it will be a man who is fixing the trough for his camels. He will swoon, and all the people will swoon. Then Allah will send" - or send down - "rain like moisture or a shadow" - Nu'man (a sub narrator) is the one who was not sure - "and the bodies of the people will grow from it." 'Then it (the Trumpet) will be blown a second time, and they will be standing, and looking around. Then it will be said: 'O people, go to your Lord; stop them, for they must be asked.' Then it will be said: 'Send forth those who are destined for the Fire.' It will be said: 'How many?' It will be said: 'Out of every thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine.' That is the Day that will make the children grey-headed, and that is the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare."'

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "I memorized a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) that I have not forgotten yet. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'The first signs of the appearance (of the Dajjal) will be the rising of the sun from its place of setting, and the emergence of the Beast to the people in the forenoon. Whichever of them appears first, the other will follow soon after."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِى حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِى زُرْعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَفِظْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَنْسَهُ بَعْدُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « إِنَّ أَوَّلَ الآيَاتِ خُرُوجًا طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَخُرُوجُ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى النَّاسِ ضُحًى وَأَيُّهُمَا مَا كَانَتْ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَتِهَا فَالأُخْرَى عَلَى إِثْرِهَا قَرِيبًا ».

It was narrated that Abu Zur'ah said: "Three Muslim individuals sat before Marwan bin Al-Hakam in Al-Madinah, and they heard him say - concerning the signs - that the first of them would be the emergence of the Dajjal. 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: 'Marwan did not say anything (of merit). I memorized Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) that I have not forgotten yet. I heard the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) say..."' and he mentioned a similar report (as Hadith no.7383).

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِى زُرْعَةَ قَالَ جَلَسَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَسَمِعُوهُ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الآيَاتِ أَنَّ أَوَّلَهَا خُرُوجًا الدَّجَّالُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لَمْ يَقُلْ مَرْوَانُ شَيْئًا قَدْ حَفِظْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَنْسَهُ بَعْدُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ. فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِهِ.

'Amir bin Sharahil Ash-Sha'bi, a man from Hamdan narrated that he asked Fatimah bint Qais, the sister of Ad-Dah-hak bin Qais, who was one of the earliest Muhajir women: "Tell me a Hadith that you heard directly from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)." She said: "If you wish, I will do that." He said to her: "Yes, tell me." She said: "I married Ibn Al-Mughirah, who was one of the best young men of the Quraish at that time, but he fell as a martyr at the beginning of Jihad with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). When I became a widow, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf proposed marriage to me, so did a group of the Companions of Muhammad (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) proposed to me on behalf of his freed slave Usamah bin Zaid. "I had been told that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had said: 'Whoever loves me, let him love Usamah.' So when .the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spoke to me, I said: 'My affairs are in your hand. Marry me to whomever you wish.' He said: 'Go to Umm Sharik.' Umm Sharik was a rich lady of the Ansar who spent a great deal in the cause of Allah and entertained many guests. I said: 'I will do that.' He said: "Do not do that, for Umm Sharik is a woman who has many guests, and I would not like your head cover to fall down or your calf to become uncovered by your garment, and the people to see something that you do not like them to see. Go instead to your cousin, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Umm Maktum.' He was a man from Banu Fihr, Fihr of Quraish, and he was from the same clan as mine. So I went to him. "When my 'Iddah ended, I heard the voice of the caller, the caller of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), saying: 'As-salatu jami'ah (prayer is being gathered for),' so I went out to the Masjid and I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). I was in the women's row that was closest to the people. When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had finished his prayer, he sat on the Minbar and he was smiling. He said: 'Let each person stay in the place where he just prayed.' Then he said: 'Do you know why I called you together?' They said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' "He said: 'By Allah, I did not call you together for something good, or for some alarming news. I have called you together because Tamim Ad-Dari who was a Christian, and he came and swore allegiance, and he became a Muslim. He told me something which agrees with what I was telling you about Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal. "'He told me that he sailed in a ship with thirty men of (the tribe of) Lakhm and Judham and they were tossed by the waves of the sea for a month. Then they came to an island at sunset. They sat in a small rowing boat and landed on that island. They were met by a beast with a great deal of hair, and they could not distinguish his face from his back because he was so hairy. They said: "Woe to you, what are you?" It said: "I am Al-Jassasah." They said: "What is Al-Jassasah?" It said: "O people, go to this man in the monastery for he is keen to know about you." He said: When it named a man for us, we were afraid of it lest it be a devil. Then we set off, rushing, until we came to that monastery, where we found the largest man we had ever seen, bound strongly in chains with his hands tied to his neck, and his legs bound from the knees to the ankles with iron shackles. We said: "Woe to you, who are you?" He said: "You will soon find out about me; tell me who you are." They said: "We are people from Arabia who embarked on a ship, but the sea became wild, and the waves tossed us about for one month, then they brought us to this island of yours. We took to the rowing boats and landed on this island. We were met by a beast with a great deal of hair, and we could not tell his front from his back, because he was so hairy. We said: 'Woe to you, what are you?' It said: 'I am Al-Jassasah.' We said: 'What is Al-Jassasah?' It said: 'Go to this man in the monastery for he is keen to know about you.' So we came rushing to you and we fled from it because we could not be sure that it was not a devil."' "'He (that chained person) said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: What do you want to know about them? He said: I am asking you whether these trees bear fruit. We said: Yes. He said: Soon they will not bear fruit. He said: Tell me about the lake of Tabariyyah (Tiberias). We said: What do you want to know about it? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is a great deal of water in it. He said: Soon it will dry up. Then he said: Tell me about the spring of Zughar. They said: What do you want to know about it? He said: Is there water in the spring, and do the people grow crops with the water of the spring? We said to him: Yes, there is plenty of water in it, and the people grow crops with its water. He said: Tell me about the Prophet of the unlettered; what has he done? We said: He has left Makkah and has settled in Yathrib (Al-Madinah). He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did he deal with them? We told him that he had prevailed over the 'Arabs in his vicinity, and they had shown obedience to him. He said to us: Has it really happened? We said: Yes. '"He said: If it is so, that is better for them, that they show obedience to him. Now I will tell you about myself. I am Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal, and soon I will be given permission to emerge. So I will come out and travel in the land, and will not spare any town but I will stay for forty nights, except Makkah and Taibah (Al-Madinah). They are both forbidden to me; every time I try to enter one of them, I will be met by an angel with a sword in his hand, who will bar my way, and on every route there will be angels guarding it."' She said: "Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) struck the Minbar with his staff and said: 'This is Taibah, this is Taibah, this is Taibah,' meaning Al-Madinah. 'Did I not tell you this before?' The people said: 'Yes.' (The Prophet (s.a.w) said:) 'I liked the story of Tamim because it agrees with what I used to tell you about him, and about Makkah and Al-Madinah. But he is in the sea of Ash-Sham or the Yemeni sea. No, rather he is in the east, he in the east, he is in the east,' and he pointed towards the east with his hand." She said: "I memorized this from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)."

Ash-Sha'bi said: "We entered upon Fatimah bint Qais, and she offered us the kind of fresh dates that are called Ibn Tab, and she gave us Sawiq Suit to drink. I asked her about the woman who has been thrice divorced - where should she observe her 'Iddah? She said: 'My husband divorced me three times, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) gave me permission to observe my 'Iddah among my family. Then the call was given to the people: "Prayer is being gathered for," so I went out with the people.' She said: 'I was in the front row of the women, the row that was nearest the back row of the men. I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) speaking from the Minbar. He said: "The cousins of Tamim Ad-Dari traveled by sea..." and he quoted the Hadith (similar to no. 7387) and added: "It is as if I can see the Prophet (s.a.w), pointing at the ground with his stick and saying: 'This is Taibah,' meaning Al-Madinah."

It was narrated that Fatimah bint Qais said: "Tamim Ad-Dari came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he told the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) that he had traveled by sea, and the ship had lost its way, and landed at an island. He went out to it seeking water, and he met a person who was dragging his hair...'' and he (the sub narrator) narrated the Hadith (similar to no. 7387), and he said in it: "If permission is given to me to emerge, I will cover the whole land, except Taibah.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) brought him out to the people and told them, and he said: 'This is Taibah, and that is the Dajjal."'
