It is narrated from Uryan bin Haysam (may Allah have mercy on him) that my father went to Syedna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) while I was still a boy. When he entered, Syedna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Welcome, welcome! A person sitting on the couch with him said: O Commander of the Believers! Who is this whom you are welcoming? He replied: This is the chief of the people of the East (Iraq), Haysam bin Aswad. I asked: Who is this person who asked? The people said: This is Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas. I asked him: O Abu Fulan! From where will the Dajjal emerge? He replied: I have not seen any people of a city who, more than these people of this city, leave those who are near and ask about those who are far. You are also among those from where the Dajjal will emerge. Then he said: He will emerge from the land of Iraq, which is full of trees and date palms.
