Imam Sha’bi narrates this statement of Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came quickly and ascended the pulpit. He announced among the people,“Gather together,”so the people gathered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O people, I have not called you together out of any desire or because of any distress that has come upon me. However, Tamim Dari has informed me that some people from Palestine set out on a sea voyage, and the wind carried them to an island in the sea. There was an animal there, and it could not be determined whether it was male or female because its body was covered with so much hair. So I asked: ‘Who are you?’ It replied: ‘I am Jassasah.’ The people said: ‘Tell us about something.’ It said: ‘I will not tell you about anything, nor will I ask you about anything. However, there is a man there who is in need of informing you about something and also needs to ask you about something.’ So they came to a place of worship, where there was a man bound in iron chains. He asked: ‘Who are you?’ They replied: ‘We are Arabs.’ He asked: ‘Has the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) been sent?’ They replied: ‘Yes.’ He asked: ‘Have the Arabs followed him?’ They replied: ‘Yes!’ He said: ‘That is better for them.’ Then he asked: ‘What is the condition of the people of Persia?’ They replied: ‘They have not yet overcome him.’ He said: ‘Soon they will overcome the people of Persia.’ Then he asked: ‘What is the condition of the spring of Zughar?’ They replied: ‘Its banks are full.’ He asked: ‘What is the condition of the date palms of Baisan?’ They replied: ‘They are bearing fruit.’ Then that man leapt up, to the extent that we feared he would overpower (i.e., free) himself. We asked: ‘Who are you?’ He said: ‘I am the Dajjal. I will traverse the entire face of the earth, except for Makkah and Taybah (i.e., Madinah), I will not be able to enter them.’

(The narrator says:) The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O group of Muslims, rejoice! This (Madinah Munawwarah) is Taybah; he (the Dajjal) will not enter it.”

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Perform deeds before the appearance of six (signs): the Dajjal, the smoke, the Beast of the Earth, and the rising of the sun from the west."

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was in an upper room and we were beneath it. Then, during that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked down and asked: "What are you people talking about?" We replied: "We are mentioning the Day of Judgment." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will not come until ten signs appear before it: the rising of the sun from the west, the Dajjal, the smoke, the descent of Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam, the Beast of the Earth, the emergence of Gog and Magog, the sinking of the earth in the east, the sinking of the earth in the west, the sinking of the earth in the Arabian Peninsula, and a fire which will emerge from such-and-such a place." (The narrator says:) "I think these words are also in the narration: That fire will rest with them wherever they rest, and it will encamp with them wherever they encamp."

The narrator named Shu’bah states: This same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him) in a similar manner, however, with this chain it is not transmitted as a marfu’ (directly attributed to the Prophet) hadith.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Dajjal will emerge from this direction"—the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated towards the east (while saying this).
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah's (may Allah be pleased with him) statement: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated towards the east"—by this is meant Bahrain, because Bahrain is to the east of Madinah Munawwarah, and the emergence of the Dajjal will also be from these regions, not from Khurasan. The evidence for the correctness of this is: the Dajjal is tied up on an island in the sea, as Tamim Dari has informed regarding this, whereas in Khurasan there is neither a sea nor an island.

Nafi reports: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw Ibn Sayyad in one of the streets of Madinah Munawwarah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) spoke harshly to him and began to scold him, so he swelled up so much that he blocked the path. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) struck him with a stick, which calmed him down until he returned to his original state. Then he swelled up again until he blocked the path. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) struck him again with the stick he had with him, until he broke it on him. Then Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What is your connection with him? Why does he make you angry? Did you not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'Dajjal will emerge because of the anger that will befall him.'"

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The seeing of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and his striking was in the sense that Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him) will also strike with a stick. This incident occurred during the blessed life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Between his two eyes will be written 'K F R' (disbeliever), which every believer will read, whether he is literate or illiterate."

(The narrator says:) This refers to the Dajjal (i.e., this will be written between his eyes).

Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The eyes of the Dajjal will be green like glass. You should seek Allah's protection from the punishment of the grave."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the Dajjal and said: He will be one-eyed and very fair-skinned, his head will be small like a snake’s, and among the people, he will most resemble Abdul-Uzza bin Qatan. No matter how many people are destroyed, your Lord is not one-eyed.

Sayyida Umm Shuraik (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: She heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saying: "Some people will flee to the mountains to escape from the Dajjal." Sayyida Umm Shuraik (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Where will the Arabs be on that day?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied: "They will be few in number."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan will be followers of the Dajjal, wearing Tayalisi (a specific type of cloak)."
