We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle ﷺ from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Messenger of Allah) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ قَالَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابُ الصُّوفِ فَوَافَقُوهُ عِنْدَ أَكَمَةٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَقِيَامٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لِي نَفْسِي ائْتِهِمْ فَقُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ لاَ يَغْتَالُونَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَعَلَّهُ نَجِيٌّ مَعَهُمْ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ قَالَ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ فِي يَدِي قَالَ تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ يَا جَابِرُ لاَ نَرَى الدَّجَّالَ يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ الرُّومُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention the Dajjal (the Antichrist). I said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there were people with him from the people of the Maghreb who came to greet him and they were wearing woollen garments. When I drew near to him, I heard him say: 'You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade Persia and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade Rome and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade the Dajjal and Allah will open him (for you).' "  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ الدَّجَّالَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَتَوْهُ لِيُسْلِمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمُ الصُّوفُ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ»
