[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but he did not provide me a dwelling or sustenance."  

«أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً»  

[Machine] My husband divorced me three times, so I went to the Prophet (PBUH) and he said, "There is no financial support or accommodation for you."  

طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَجِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَلَا سُكْنَى»  

[Machine] Amir Al-Sha'bi narrated to me that Fatimah bint Qais, who was in the company of Abu Hafs bin Amr or Amr bin Hafs, came to the Prophet ﷺ asking about financial support and accommodation. He said to her, "Listen, O daughter of Qais," and pointed his hand, extending it towards part of his face as if he wanted to hide something from her, and it seemed like he was saying, "Be silent. Financial support is only the responsibility of a woman's husband, unless she has no means of recourse, then there is no financial support or accommodation for her. Go to Fulanah (a woman's name) or he said, Umm Shareek, and seek assistance from her." Then he said, "That is not a place where men gather or hold conversations, so seek assistance in the house of Ibn Um Maktum."  

عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَبِي حَفْصِ بْنِ عَمْرِو أَوْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَفْصٍ فَجَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي النَّفَقَةِ وَالسُّكْنَى فَقَالَ لَهَا «اسْمَعِي يَا ابْنَةَ قَيْسٍ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَمَدَّهَا عَلَى بَعْضِ وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْهَا وَكَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ اسْكُتِي إِنَّمَا النَّفَقَةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ فَلَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا وَلَا سُكْنَى ائْتِ فُلَانَةَ أَوْ قَالَ أُمَّ شَرِيكٍ فَاعْتَدِّي عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يُجْتَمَعُ إِلَيْهَا أَوْ قَالَ يُتَحَدَّثُ عِنْدَهَا اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ  

[Machine] The people of the city disagreed with us about living in the separate house and providing for it, so they said to me: "Between us and you there is the matter of Fatimah bint Qays, so I went to her and entered upon her, so I asked her and she said: My husband divorced me. So her brother said to me: You have no right to live in or be provided for. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "O daughter of Qays, the right of living in and being provided for only exists if your husband takes you back."  

خَالَفَنَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي سُكْنَى الْمُطَلَّقَةِ ونَفَقَتِها فَقَالُوا لِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ حَدِيثُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي فَقَالَ لِي أَخُوهُ إِنَّهُ لَا سُكْنَى لَكِ وَلَا نَفَقَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَةَ قَيْسٍ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ مَا كَانَ لِزَوْجِكِ عَلَيْكِ رَجْعَةٌ»  

[Machine] She asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My husband divorced me and did not provide for me with financial support or housing." The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "Indeed, your husband does not have to take you back; rather, housing and financial support are the obligations of the husband to the wife who he takes back."  

أَنَّهَا سَأَلْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ لِي نَفَقَةً وَلَا سُكْنَى فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ زَوْجَكِ لَا يُرَاجِعُكِ إِنَّمَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ لِلَّتِي يُرَاجِعُهَا زَوْجُهَا»  

[Machine] I entered upon Fatimah bint Qays in Medina and asked her about the decree of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She said, "My husband divorced me in the state of menstruation, so I disputed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding residence and maintenance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not assign me a residence or maintenance, but instead instructed me to prepare in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum."  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ قَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ألْبَتَّةَ فَخَاصَمْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةِ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»  

[Machine] We entered upon Fatimah bint Qays and asked her three times, "Where do you stay after divorce?" She said, "The Messenger of Allah ׳اَللَّهُ ﷺ allowed me, and 'Ali divorced me, to stay in my family's house."  

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَسَأَلْنَاهَا عَنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلَاثًا أَيْنَ تَعْتَدُّ؟ فَقَالَتْ «أَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ طَلَّقَنِي بِعْلِي أَنْ أَعْتَدَّ فِي أَهْلِي»  

My husband divorced me with three pronouncements and Messenger of Allah ﷺ made no provision for lodging and maintenance allowance. (Using translation from Muslim 1480t)  

«طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً»  

[Machine] That Fatima bint Qays was divorced by her husband with a final divorce. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no maintenance or accommodation for you."  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا طَلَاقًا بَائِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَلَا سُكْنَى»  

My husband divorced me with three pronouncements and Messenger of Allah ﷺ made no provision for lodging and maintenance allowance. (Using translation from Muslim 1480t)  

«طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً»  

[Machine] He divorced me three times while he was on his way to Yemen, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved of it. So I sent to the family of my husband to ask them for my maintenance, but they wanted to evict me from my house. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Go to the son of Umm Maktoom."  

طَلَّقَنِي ثَلَاثًا وَهُوَ خَارِجٌ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَأَجَازَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَعَثْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِ زَوْجِي أَسْأَلُهُمْ نَفَقَتِي فَأَرَادُوا إِخْراجِي مِنْ مَنْزِلِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «انْتَقِلِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»  

[Machine] I met Fatimah bint Qays in al-Harra, so I asked her how she was doing. She replied, "My husband divorced me, Abu 'Amr, before he left for Yemen, and he appointed 'Ayash ibn Abi Rabi'ah to provide for me. I brought the matter to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'You are not entitled to any financial support or housing from them.'"  

لَقِيتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا كَيْفَ كَانَ أَمْرُهَا؟ فَقَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَوَكَّلَ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَأَعْطَانِي نَفَقَةً فَرَافَعْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا سُكْنَى»  

[Machine] I heard Al-Sha'bi saying that Fatima bint Qais told me that she came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my husband has divorced me three times, and I wanted to have the right to live in his house and receive financial support." He replied, "Divorce once or twice, you inherit from him and he inherits from you. But divorce three times, you do not inherit from him, and he does not inherit from you. You have no right to live in his house, and he has no obligation to provide for you. Go and stay with Ibn Umm Maktum."  

سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ أَنَّهَا أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَأَرَدْتُ السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةَ فَقَالَ «تَطْلِيقَةٌ تَطْلِيقَتَانِ تَرِثِينَهُ وَيَرِثُكِ ثَلَاثًا لَا تَرِثِينَهُ وَلَا يَرِثُكِ وَلَا سُكْنَى لَكِ وَلَا نَفَقَةَ انْزِلِي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»  

[Machine] "I was with a man from the tribe of Makhzum who divorced me three times. He said, 'You have no provision with me.' So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my husband divorced me and I asked him for provision, but he said, "You have no residence or provision with me." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have a residence and provision." So he sent for him and he said, 'Indeed, I divorced her three times.' He said, 'Then prepare yourself to reside in the house of Um Sharik.' Then he said, 'Um Sharik is an old woman, but prepare yourself to reside in the house of the son of Um Maktoom, for he is a blind man.'"  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَطَلَّقَنِي ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكِ عِنْدِي نَفَقَةٌ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي طَلَّقَنِي فَطَلَبْتُ مِنْهُ النَّفَقَةَ فَقَالَ لَا سُكْنَى لَكِ عِنْدِي وَلَا نَفَقَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَكِ السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ» فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ «إِذًا اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أُمُّ شَرِيكٍ امْرَأَةٌ مَغْشِيَّةٌ وَلَكِنِ اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ مَكْفُوفٌ»  

[Machine] "My husband divorced me three times during the era of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and then I went to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him about accommodation and financial support. However, he did not allocate any accommodation or financial support for me."  

«طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةِ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةَ»  

[Machine] Abu Amr ibn Hafs sent a message to me while he was leaving with an army to Yemen at the time of my divorce. I asked his guardians about financial support and living arrangements, and they said he did not send us anything in that regard nor did he give us any instructions. So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Amr ibn Hafs sent me a divorce message, and I asked for financial support and living arrangements." His guardians said he did not send anything to us in that regard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Financial support and living arrangements are only for the woman if her husband has the right of taking her back. If she is not permissible for him until she marries someone else, then there is no financial support or living arrangement for her."  

إِنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنِ حَفْصٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ وَهُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ فِي جَيْشٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ بِطَلَاقِي فَسَأَلْتُ أَوْلِياءَهُ النَّفَقَةَ عَلِيَّ وَالسُّكْنَى فَقَالُوا مَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا أَوْصَانَا بِهِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنِ حَفْصٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ بِطَلَاقِي فَطَلَبْتُ السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ لَمْ يُرْسِلْ إِلَيْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا كَانَ لِزَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ فَلَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا وَلَا سُكْنَى»  

[Machine] I married Hafsah bint al-Mughirah while she was one of the best amongst the youth of the Quraysh. When I was delayed by the proposal of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf with a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to me for his freed slave Usamah bin Zaid. I had been informed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever loves me, should love Usamah." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to me, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have no choice in this matter, so marry me to whomever you please." He said, "Go to Umm Sharik and Umm Sharik is a woman who possesses a great amount of wealth and contributes generously in the cause of Allah. Guests often frequent her house." I said, "That is what I will do." He said, "No, don't do that, for Umm Sharik is a woman who has frequent guests. And I dislike that your veil should be removed, or that your garment should be rent, and the people should see you in a way that you do not like. However, you may go to your cousin Abdillah bin Amr bin Umm Maktum." He belonged to the people of Bani Fihr, one of the sub-tribes of Quraysh, who were allies to each other before Islam, and he belonged to the family of Khadijah bint Khuwailid, the mother of the believers. So, I went to him.  

نَكَحْتُ حَفْصَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَهُوَ مِنْ خِيَارِ شَبَابِ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا تَأَيَّمْتُ خَطَبَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَطَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَوْلَاهُ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَكُنْتُ قَدْ حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي فَلْيُحِبَّ أُسَامَةَ» فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ أَمْرِي بِيَدِكَ فَأَنْكِحْنِي مَنْ شِئْتَ فَقَالَ «انْتَقِلِي إِلَى أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ وَأُمُّ شَرِيكٍ امْرَأَةٌ غَنِيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةُ النَّفَقَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهَا الضِّيفَانُ» فَقُلْتُ سَأَفْعَلُ قَالَ «لَا تَفْعَلِي فَإِنَّ أُمَّ شَرِيكٍ امْرَأَةً كَثِيرَةً الضِّيفَانِ وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ عَنْكِ خِمَارُكِ أَوْ يَنْكَشِفَ الثَّوْبُ عَنْ سَاقَيْكِ فَيَرَى الْقَوْمُ مِنْكِ بَعْضَ مَا تَكْرَهِينَ وَلَكِنِ انْتَقِلِي إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ» وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فِهْرٍ فِهْرِ قُرَيْشٍ وَهُوَ مِنَ الْبَطْنِ الَّذِي هِيَ مِنْهُ فَانْتَقَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I asked Fatimah bint Qays how she was doing. She said, "My husband divorced me three times. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'My relatives have claimed that I have no shelter or expenditure.' He said, 'Go and prepare yourself in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum.' He was blind." She said, "Abu Al-Jahm ibn Hudhayfah proposed to me, and after him Muawiyah proposed to me after the 'iddah had expired. So I consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'As for Abu Jahm, he is harsh to women, and as for Muawiyah, he is poor and has nothing. But where are you in regards to Usamah?' I said, 'Should I marry Usamah?' He said, 'Yes, marry Usamah.'"  

سَأَلْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ كَيْفَ كَانَ أَمْرُهَا؟ قَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا جَمِيعًا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ زَعَمَ أَحْمَائِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً قَالَ «صَدَقُوا اذْهَبِي فَاعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ» وَكَانَ أَعْمَى قَالَتْ فَخَطَبَهَا أَبُو الْجَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ وَمِنْ بَعْدِهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَاسْتَشَارَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَمَا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَضَرُوبٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَمُمَلَّقٌ يَعْنِي مُفْلِسَ لَا يَمْلِكُ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ؟» قُلْتُ أَنْكِحُ أُسَامَةَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمِ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ»  

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Al Sha’bi through a different chain of narrators. This version has “The husband of Fathima daughter of Qais pronounced her triple divorce. The Prophet ﷺ did not allow her to have maintenance and dwelling.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2288)  

«أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً»  

[Machine] "Her husband divorced her three times and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not assign her a dwelling or provide for her." He said, "Her husband is Abu Hafs ibn 'Amr ibn al-Mughirah."  

«أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَكَنًا وَلَا نَفَقَةً» قَالَ وَزَوْجُهَا أَبُو حَفْصِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ  

[Machine] My husband divorced me three times during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no dwelling and no provision."  

طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً»  

[Machine] My husband divorced me three times and I wanted financial support, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Go to the house of Ibn Um Maktum, your cousin, and stay with him."  

طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَأَرَدْتُ النَّفَقَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «انْتَقِلِي إِلَى بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ فَاعْتَدِّي عِنْدَهُ»  

[Machine] "That her husband divorced her, so she went to the Prophet ﷺ and he commanded her to observe her 'iddah (waiting period) in the house of her son from Umm Maktoom."  

«أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»  

[Machine] I went with a man until we entered upon Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of Dihyah bin Qays. We said, "O Fatimah, tell us a narration that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said, "Yes." So she gave us dates and water to drink. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and sat on the pulpit. The people surrounded him and took refuge with him. He said, 'O people, I have been made to sit here due to a piece of news.' She said, 'And it was not on the hour that he used to sit in. Tameem Ad-Dari entered upon me today during the migration or around Dhuhr time. He informed me that his cousins were thrown into a ship in the sea on an island that they do not know. So they went into it, walking, and they came across something that they did not recognize if it was a man or a woman, from what it was clothed with hair. So they said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Jassasah!' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I ask you anything. But if you want the news, go to this monastery,' pointing to a monastery on the island, not far away. So we went on walking until we entered it and found a man who was bound with iron, large and heavy. His back was leaning against the side of a mountain. He said, 'Who are you?' We said, 'People from the Arabs.' He said, 'What did the unlettered Prophet ﷺ do?' We said, 'He has left.' He said, 'What did the date-palms of Bani Uman and Baysan do?' We said, 'They bear fruits and produce.' He said, 'What did the spring of Zughar do?' We said, 'It remains the same.' He said, 'What did the lake of Tabariyyah do?' We said, 'It is full.' He struck his hand upon his thigh and said, 'I have lost everything of the land except Makkah and Madinah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Madinah will be shaken one, twice. No dajjal shall enter it. There is no spot in it that is not guarded by angels, except that they shall stand upon a rock, raising the sword.' And he pointed with his hand, 'And from the direction of Yemen is what?' We said, 'Whatever Allah wills.' Then he said, while pointing with his hand, 'And his shirt is close to thirty times the size from the direction of Iraq and it is not less than thirty times.'

[Machine] I heard the Caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling for the congregational prayer, so I went out with a group of Ansari women until we reached the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr prayer with us, then he ascended the pulpit and faced us with a smiling face. Then he said, "I swear by Allah, I did not gather you out of desire or fear, but for a matter that Tamim ad-Dari narrated to me. He came to me and embraced Islam and pledged allegiance, and he informed me that he rode with thirty men from Lakhm and Juzam, who were two tribes from the Arabians of Yemen. They embarked upon the sea and it tossed them about for a month, then it cast them near the sunset, close to an island from the islands of the sea. We saw it as the beginning of Ahlab (people of destruction) and its front is not distinguishable from its back. We said, 'What are you, O creature?' So Allah allowed it to speak and it spoke to us with a harsh, distasteful tongue, saying, 'I am the "Jassasah." We said, 'And what is the "Jassasah"?' It said, 'You will soon find out about me. Go to this monastery in the furthest part of the island, for there is a man who is eagerly awaiting your arrival and has been informing the people about you.' So we went to the monastery and found the greatest man we had ever seen, with his hands tied to his neck and his legs tied up with iron chains fastened to his ankles. We said to him, 'What are you, O man?' He replied, 'You will soon find out about me. Tell me about yourselves. How has the Arab been?' So we told him everything we had experienced. He said, 'Tell me about the spring of Tabariyah. Has it dried up?' We said, 'No.' He asked, 'Has anything strange happened there?' We said, 'No.' He said, 'Tell me about the spring of Zughar. Has it dried up?' We said, 'No.' He asked, 'Has anything strange happened there?' We said, 'No.' He said, 'Tell me about the palm trees of Bayzaan. Are they bearing fruits?' We said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Have anything strange happened to them?' We said, 'No.' He said, 'Tell me about the unlettered Prophet. What has he done?' We said, 'He has come out and fought against those who opposed him, and those who believed in him have supported him.' He asked, 'Has he still appeared among the Arabs?' We said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What have the Arabs done to him?' So we told him everything. He said, 'If that is the case, then he will certainly appear in the Haram.' And he repeated this thrice. Then he said, 'But I am going to tell you about his dwelling in the sacred land. There is no city on Earth which is not afraid of him facing it, except for Makkah and Madinah. Whenever he intends to enter either of them, an angel with drawn sword in hand prevents him.' Abu Al-Ash'hab said, 'Amir (Jabir) said, 'Fatimah bint Qays narrated, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands until we saw the whiteness of his armpits, and he said, 'Shall I not tell you about this city?'" And he mentioned it three times. Then he said, 'Shall I not tell you about this sea?'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a congregational prayer at a time when he had never done so before. People went to the mosque and the Prophet ﷺ came and ascended the pulpit. Then he said, "I warn you against the Dajjal (Antichrist) three times. He was not mentioned before, but he will soon appear among you, O nation. Tamim Ad-Dari informed me that he embarked on a sea voyage with a group of people, including Lakhm and Judham. Strong winds blew them to an island from the islands of the Sham (Greater Syria). They landed on its coast, where they found a chained woman. They asked her, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the Jassasah.' They asked her, 'What is the Jassasah?' She said, 'Inform me about yourselves first.' She said, 'What brought you here?' They said, 'We are Arabs, sailing on this sea, and then the wind blew us to your island. Who are you?' She said, 'I do not want to inform you.' They said, 'Inform us.' She said, 'Do you have a prophet amongst you?' They said, 'Yes.' She said, 'What has been done by the people?' They said, 'Some followed him and some abandoned him.' She said, 'I ask you whether people follow him when he enforces his commands.' They said, 'Yes.' She said, 'I believe that he is the Prophet who will come; he is the one whose description matches the person I met. If I were to go to him, I would follow him.' Then she asked them about the date-palm trees of Baysan. They replied, 'Big and good.' She asked about the spring of Zughar. They replied, 'Abundant and flowing; it quenches the thirst of the one who reaches it.' She asked, 'Is there a narrow mountain pass near it?' They replied, 'Yes.' She said, 'By Allah, this is how the mountain pass will be when he enters it, because he will be unable to pass through it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Makkah and this is Al-Madinah.' Allah has made them sacred, as Abraham made Makkah sacred. There is no passage through them without an angel stationed, holding a sword, barring the way before the Dajjal until the Day of Judgment."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَادَى «الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً» فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُنَادِي فِيهَا فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُنْذِرُكُمُ الدَّجَّالَ ثَلَاثًا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيمَا مَضَى وَإِنَّهُ كَائِنٌ فِيكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ وَإِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ بَحْرَ الشَّامِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ لَخْمٍ وَجُذَامٍ فَأَلْقَتْهُمُ الرِّيحَ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالدَّهْمَاءِ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا أَخْبِرِينَا قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرِكُمْ وَلَا اسْتَخْبَرْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا رَجُلًا فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرِ فَإِنَّهُ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ فَأَتَوْهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ مَوْثُوقٌ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ قُلْنَا بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِمْ نَبِيٌّ أُمِّيٌّ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالُوا اتَّبَعَهُ قَوْمٌ وَتَرَكَهُ قَوْمٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَيُصَدِّقُونَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ لِباسُهُمْ؟ قُلْنَا صُوفٌ وَقُطْنٌ تَغْزِلُهُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قُلْنَا قَوِيَ ونَجِدُها فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ قُلْنَا كَثِيرٌ مَاؤُهَا يَتَدَفَّقُ يَرْوِي مَنْ أَتَاهَا فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ قَدْ أَطْلَقَنِي اللهُ مِنْ وَثَاقِي لَمْ يَبْقَ مَنْهَلٌ إِلَّا دَخَلْتُهُ إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي دُخُولُهُما قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تِلْكَ مَكَّةُ وَهَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ حَرَّمَهَا اللهُ كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ أَمَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَقْبٌ وَلَا سِكَّةٌ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ للسَّيْفِ يَمْنَعُهَا مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] While the people in the city had no fear, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and performed the noon prayer. Then, he walked until he climbed the pulpit, which startled the people. When he saw their faces, he said, "O people, I did not come out to cause you alarm, but rather a matter came to me that brought me joy, so I wanted to inform you of the joy of your Prophet. Tamim Al-Dari informed me that his cousins, the people of Banu Amm, embarked on the sea until their ship reached an unknown island. They began to walk, and suddenly they found a man whom they did not know if it was a male or female, due to the abundance of hair on their body. They asked, 'Who are you?' The person replied, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' They demanded to be taken to the monastery, where they found a man tied up, who was extremely distressed. They asked, 'Who are you?' The man replied, 'I am from the people of Palestine, from the Arabian Peninsula.' They asked, 'Has your Prophet appeared?' He answered, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did he do?' The man said, 'Some people pledged allegiance to him, while others opposed and fought him. I fought those who opposed him until the people of Al-Hijr and Al-Madhar gave him allegiance.' They asked, 'What happened to the lake of Tabariyah?' He replied, 'It is full and overflowing.' They asked, 'What happened to the Zughar spring?' He replied, 'Its water is also overflowing.' They asked, 'What about the date palms between 'Uman and Baysan?' He replied, 'They are abundant in fruit.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I were not restrained by my oath, I would have walked on the Earth except into Al-Tayyibah.' 'Amr said, 'I met Muḥarrar bin Abi Hurayrah and narrated the story to him. He asked, 'Did it contain anything else?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'You speak the truth, I bear witness on behalf of Abu Hurayrah that he narrated this to me and added more to it.' Then he said, 'What is the Mediterranean Sea?' 'What is the Euphrates River?' He pointed twenty times with his hand towards the east. I met 'Abdullah bin Abu Bakr and narrated the story to him. He asked, 'Did it contain anything else?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'You speak the truth, I bear witness on behalf of 'Aisha that she narrated this to me, but she said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And there is nothing but good in Al-Madina".'"

[Machine] Amr Al-Shabi narrated to me, Fatimah bint Qais said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down and the people were startled. He said, "O people, I did not leave my place out of fear, but Tamim Al-Dari came to me and told me news that prevented me from taking a nap with joy and ease. So I wanted to give you the good news of your Prophet. He informed me that a group of his relatives from the Banu 'Amir rode the sea and a storm struck them, so they took refuge on an island. They sat near a ship until they boarded the island, and suddenly they saw a creature with a lot of hair, they did not know whether it was a man or a woman. They greeted him and he responded. They said, 'Will you not tell us who you are?' He replied, 'I am not informing you nor am I interrogating you, but there is someone in this monastery who is eager to inform you and to interrogate you.' They asked, 'And who are you?' He said, 'I am the spy.' So they set out until they reached the monastery, and they found a man who was tightly bound in iron chains, looking very sad and complaining a lot. They greeted him and he responded. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What did the Arabs do to their Prophet after he was expelled?' They said, 'They believed in him, followed him, and confirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' They asked, 'Did he have any enemies?' He said, 'Yes, and Allah supported him over them.' They asked, 'Do the Arabs have one God?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one word?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one religion?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did 'Uyaynah bin Hisn do?' They said, 'He distributed the water of the wells to his people, and they watered their crops with it.' They asked, 'What did the palm tree between 'Umman and Bayssan do?' They said, 'It provides shade for its branches every year.' They asked, 'What did Lake Tabariyyah do?' They said, 'It is full.' He exclaimed, 'Then he sighed twice and said, 'By Allah, if I were to go out of my place here, I would not leave any land of Allah's except that I would tread it, except for Taibah, for it is not mine to tread on. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, this is one of the things that make me happy.' He said that three times. Indeed, Taibah is Al-Madinah. Then Allah has made it forbidden for the Dajjal. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By Allah, who there is no god but He, there is no narrow path or wide valley for it, nor any mountain, except that it has an angel standing with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal cannot enter it with its people.' Al-Shabi said, 'So I met Al-Muharrar ibn Abi Hurairah and I narrated to him the Hadith of Fatimah, and he said, 'I bear witness that my father narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that he said, 'It is in the east.' Then I met Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and he said, 'I bear witness that 'A'ishah narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are Haram for it: Makkah and Al-Madinah.' And the wording of the Hadith is according to the Hadith of Yahya bin Sa'id and the others similar to it.

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and said, "O people, Tamim ad-Dari informed me that some people from his tribe were in a ship in the sea, and it broke down. Some of them boarded a plank from the ship and they reached an island in the sea. Then, they came across a black, disheveled-haired woman. They asked her who she was, and she replied, 'I am the Jassasah. Are you surprised at me?' They said yes. She said, 'Enter the palace.' So, they entered and found a tied-up old man. They informed him about themselves, and he asked them, 'What did the Dajjal do?' They told him, and he asked, 'What has happened to the lake of Tiberias and the Palm trees of Baysan?' They informed him, and he said, 'By the One who swore by him, there is no place on Earth that I have not set foot on, except for Ta'if.' Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Ta'if.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَعِدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ كَانُوا فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي سَفِينَةٍ لَهُمْ فَانْكَسَرَتْ فَرَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى لَوْحٍ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ فَخَرَجُوا إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ شَعْثَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ لَهَا شَعَرٌ مُنْكَرٌ فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنِّي؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَادْخُلُوا الْقَصْرَ فَدَخَلُوا فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ مَرْبُوطٌ بسلاسلَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ مَنْ هُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ وَمَا فَعَلَتِ الْبُحَيْرَةُ ونَخَلَاتُ بَيْسَانَ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي يُحْلَفُ بِهِ لَا يَبْقَى أَرْضٌ إِلَّا وَطَأْتُها بِقَدَمِي إِلَّا طَيْبَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَهَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ»  

[Machine] While I was sitting in the mosque, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and sat on the pulpit, and the people gathered around him. I said to myself, "I want to hear what he has to say." So, I listened to him saying, "O people, why have I not gathered you for news that has come to me from an enemy of yours? But Tameem ad-Dari informed me that his cousins boarded a ship and were struck by a wind that they did not recognize if it was east or west. They landed on an island and found a beast tied with chains. They asked, 'What is this?' It replied, 'I am al-Jassasah (the spy).' They asked, 'What is the news?' It said, 'The news is with the owner of the monastery.' So, they went to the monastery and found the Dajjal (the Antichrist) chained in iron. They asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the nation of Muhammad ﷺ .' They asked, 'Have you been sent?' He replied, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What has al-Buhayriyyah (the lake of Tiberias) done?' He informed them about it. They asked, 'How about the date-palms of Baysan?' He informed them about it. They asked, 'How about the spring of Zughar?' He informed them about it. Then, he pointed towards his legs and said, 'You see these two feet? There will not remain on earth a land that Allah has not set foot on through them except Makkah and Madinah while he is in the sea between the East and the West, and his pronunciation of the word 'pair' was incorrect."  

بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ قَالَتْ وَدَعَوْتُ لِأَسْمَعَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَمْ أَجْمَعُكُمْ عَنْ خَبَرٍ جَاءَنِي مِنْ قِبَلِ عَدُوٍّ لَكُمْ وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمٍّ لَهُ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَأَصَابَتْهُمْ رِيحٌ لَا يَدْرُونَ أَشَرَّقُوا أَمْ غَرَّبُوا فَأَرْسَوْا إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فَخَرَجُوا يَمْشُونَ فِيهَا فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا قَالُوا مَا هَذِهِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا فَمَا الْخَبَرُ؟ قَالَتْ الْخَبَرُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِ الدِّيرِ فَذَهَبُوا إِلَى الدِّيرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالدَّجَّالِ يَعْرِفُونَهُ مُوثَقٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَالَ وَقَدْ بُعِثَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْبُحَيْرِيَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةُ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْهَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ تَرَوْنَ رِجْلَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ لَا تَبْقَى أَرْضٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَّا وَطَأْتُهُمَا بِهِمَا إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ وَهُوَ فِي الْبَحْرِ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَهُوَ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ أَقْرَبُ وَلَفْظُهُمَا وَاحِدٌ  

[Machine] Abu 'Umar ad-Darir and Abu 'Umar al-Hawdi said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, I am Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from 'Amir ash-Sha'bi, from Fatimah bint Qays al-Fihriyah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came one day hastening until he ascended the pulpit and the call to prayer was made for the people to pray in congregation. So he delivered a sermon and said: "I did not call you out of desire or fear, but Tamim ad-Dari informed me that a group from the people of Palestine embarked on a sea voyage, and the wind cast them onto an island from among the islands of the sea. There, they found a creature with long hair, the likes of which they had never seen before. They asked, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Spy.' They asked, 'Inform us about ourselves.' It said, 'I am not the one who informs you or who can be informed by you. But in this monastery, there is a man who can inform you and you can ask him out of longing.' So they entered the monastery and found a man shackled with iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are Arabs.' He asked, 'Has the Prophet appeared among you?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Have the Arabs followed him?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Is it better for them that they have done so?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Has it appeared in Persia?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Indeed, it will appear among them.' Then he asked, 'What did the one-eyed do?' They said, 'He caused much harm.' He asked, 'What happened to the Lake of Tabariyah?' They said, 'It dried up, leaving behind a meadow.' He asked, 'What happened to the date palm of Bayhan?' They said, 'It has fed its early fruits and leapt as though it would escape from its restraints.' Then he said to them, 'I am the Dajjal. I am going to emerge and will not leave any land except Makkah and Madinah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give glad tidings, for the Muslims have been given good news. This is the land of Taibah (Madinah), it will not be entered by the Dajjal.'"  

ثنا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ وَأَبُو عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ الْفِهْرِيَّةِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَنُودِيَ فِي النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَدْعُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةٍ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ نَزَلَتْ وَلَكِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَأَلْقَتْهُمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ أَشْعُرُ لَا نَدْرِي أَذَكَرٌ هُوَ أَمْ أُنْثَى لِكَثْرَةِ شَعْرِهَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا فَأَخْبِرِينَا قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَا مُسْتَخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرِ رَجُلٌ هُوَ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ وتَسْتَخْبِرُونَهُ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ فَدَخَلُوا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالرَّجُلِ مُصَفَّدٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ ظَهَرَ مِنْكُمُ النَّبِيُّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاتَّبَعَتْهُ الْعَرَبُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ هَلْ ظَهَرَ عَلَى فَارِسَ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَتَدَفَّقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَتَدَفَّقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قَالُوا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ أَوَائِلَهُ فَوَثَبَ حَتَّى ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ سَيُفْلِتُ مِنْ قُيُودِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ أَمَا أَنِّي سَأَطَأُ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرُوا فَبَشَّرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا»  

[Machine] We were called to pray during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so we came out and sat behind the men's rows. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and praised Allah and extolled Him. Then he said, "Indeed, your brother Tamim Ad-Dari narrated to me about his paternal cousins, who sailed on the sea and the wind blew them until they arrived at an island among the islands of the sea. They came out asking about the path, and they met a creature from the creatures of Allah that they had never seen before. It was greater than anything woven by the Children of Adam, and it was covered in hair. They asked it about the path, and it said, 'If you want to ask about the path, then ask the one who can give you knowledge and desires your speech.' So they asked it, 'Inform us about yourself.' It said, 'I am the Dassasah.' So we knew that it was a woman. We went to the monastery and entered it, where we saw a creature that we had never seen anything greater than before. It was filled from between the edges to the ankles with iron, wiped with dust from the eye. We asked it about the path, and it said, 'I will not inform you until you inform me about what I ask you about.' We said, 'Ask about what you see.' It said, 'Inform me about the Prophet of the Arabs. Has he appeared?' We said, 'Yes.' It asked, 'Who does he invoke?' So we informed it. It asked, 'How quickly do people respond to what he calls them to?' We said, 'Swiftly.' It said, 'That is better for them.' It asked, 'Inform me about the Tabariyyah Lake. What has it done?' We said, 'It overflows.' It asked, 'Inform me about the 'Ayn Zughar.' We said, 'It overflows.' It said, 'Ask about what you see.' We said, 'What are you?' It said, 'I am the Dajjal. By Allah, I will trample every inch of Allah's land except for Madinah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Taibah,' meaning, Madinah."  

نُودِيَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَخَرَجْنَا فَجَلَسْنَا خَلْفَ أَكْتَافِ الرِّجَالِ قَالَتْ فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ أَخَاكُمْ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ بَنِي عَمٍّ لَهُ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَذَهَبَتْ بِهِمُ الرِّيحَ حَتَّى أَلْجَأَتْهُمْ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَخَرَجُوا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَلَقُوا خَلْقًا مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ لَمْ يَرَوْا قَبْلَهُ شَيْئًا أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا نَسْجَ بَنُو آدَمَ وَقَدْ كَسَاهُ الشَّعْرُ قَالَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْأَلُوا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ مَنْ يُخْبِرُكُمْ ويَشْتَهِي حَدِيثَكُمْ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الدَّيْرِ فَقُلْنَا أَخْبِرِينَا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الدَّسَّاسَةُ فَعَرَفْنَا أَنَّهَا امْرَأَةٌ فَمَضَيْنَا إِلَى الدَّيْرِ فَدَخَلْناهُ فَإِذَا خَلَقٌ لَمْ نَرَ قَطُّ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ مَمْلُوءًا مَا بَيْنَ تَرَاقِيهِ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ حَدِيدًا مَمْسُوحَ الْعَيْنِ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَتَّى تُحَدِّثُونِي عَمَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ قَالَ أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ نَبِيِّ الْعَرَبِ هَلْ خَرَجَ بَعْدُ؟ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ إِلَى مَ يَدْعُو؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ قَالَ كَيْفَ سُرْعَةُ النَّاسِ إِلَى مَا دَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ؟ قُلْنَا سِرَاعٌ قَالَ ذَاكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ بُحَيْرَةِ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ مَا فَعَلَتْ؟ قُلْنَا تَطْفَحُ قَالَ أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرٍ؟ قُلْنَا تَطْفَحُ قَالَ سَلُوا عَمَّا بَدَا لَكُمْ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَهُ مَا أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَبْقَى أَرْضٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَّا وَطَأْتُها بِقَدَمَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ إِلَّا طَيْبَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ» يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ  

[Machine] I entered the city and sat by the pulpit. A man approached and sat next to me. He asked if I could direct him to someone who could tell him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So, he accompanied me to Fatimah bint Qays, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the pulpit and the people heard about it. The people gathered and became excited. I was among those who went to him and I heard him say, "Tameem ad-Dari informed me that his cousins boarded a ship in the sea to do trade. The wind blew them to an island. As they landed or whoever from among them went out, they found a man covered in hair who could not be identified as male or female. They asked him about news, and he said the news is with the owner of this monastery, and I am the messenger. So, they went to the monastery, and there they found a man chained with iron and asked him who he was. He told them, 'What did the Prophet of the Arabs do after he left?' They replied, 'Yes, he did.' He asked them who followed him, the common people or the elite. They replied, 'The common people.' He asked if their number increased or decreased. They replied, 'It increased.' He asked if anyone went back from among those who followed him. They replied, 'No.' He said, 'This is good for them. How is the lake of Tabariyyah?' They replied, 'It has water.' He asked, 'How about the date-palm trees of Baysan?' They replied, 'They are carrying fruit.' He asked, 'How about the spring of Zughar?' They replied, 'It has water.' He said, 'If he invited me, I would have trodden with my foot on all this land, except Taiba.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Taiba, on every side of which is an angel with a drawn sword, its sword aimed at the enemy.'"  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدُلُّنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَتْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ يَشْتَدُّونَ وَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمٍّ لَهُ رَكِبُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ لَهُمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ تُجَّارًا فَضَرَبَتْ بِهِمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فَخَرَجُوا أَوْ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ هَلْ يَرَوْنَ أَحَدًا؟ حَتَّى لَقِيَهُمْ مَنْ غَطَّاهُ الشَّعْرُ مَا يَسْتَبِينُ مِنْهُ ذَاكَ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى قَالُوا الْخَبَرُ قَالَ الْخَبَرُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الدَّيْرِ فَأَنَا الْجَسَّاسُ فَأَتَوُا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُوقَرٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ مِمَّنْ هُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَبِيُّ الْعَرَبِ أَخْرَجَ بَعْدُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُهُ السَّفَلَةُ أَمْ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ قَالُوا يَتْبَعُهُ السُّفَهَاءُ قَالَ يَكْثُرُونَ أَمْ يَقِلُّونَ؟ قَالُوا يَكْثُرُونَ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ هَلْ فِيهَا مَاءٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ هَلْ تَحْمِلُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ هَلْ فِيهَا مَاءٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا أَنَّهُ لَوْ قَدْ آذَنَ لِي لَقَدْ وَطَأْتُ بِرِجْلِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ طَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَهَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْهَا مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ سَيْفَهُ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ مَا هُوَ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ مَا هُوَ»  

[Machine] We entered upon Fatimah bint Qays and she treated us to dates, filled us with barley bread, and said that they had called out to the people that prayer was to be held in congregation. So I went out with those who went out from the women and I was in the first row of women after the last row of men. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Indeed, the Banu 'Amr bin Tamim are riding in the sea and their ship has thrown them to an island from among the islands of the sea, and they saw a beast covering its hair. When the people looked at it, it said: "I am Al-Jassasah. And indeed, the one who is yearning to see you is in that monastery." So the people set out and found a man sitting in iron chains, so they were amazed by their entry. He asked them: "Did you bring out your companion?" They said: "Yes." He said: "What did Al-Bahr Al-Tubariyah do?" They said: "It has much water." He said: "So what did the date palm of Bayshan do?" They said: "It has much water." He said: "And the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It has much water." He said: "If I were to go out, I would conquer all of the lands except for Makkah and Ta'if." She said: "It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointing with his hand, saying: 'This is Ta'if, nodding towards Al-Madinah.'"  

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَأَتْحَفَتْنَا بِرُطَبٍ وَشَبَّعَتْنا سَوِيقَ سَلْتٍ وَقَالَتْ نُودِيَ فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فِيمَنِ انْطَلَقَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ فَكُنْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مِمَّا يَلِي الصَّفَّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَنِي عَمٍّ لِتَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ رَكِبُوا فِي الْبَحْرِ وَإِنَّ سَفِينَتَهُمْ قَذَفَتْهُمْ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَرَأَوْا هُنَاكَ دَابَّةً يُوَارِيهَا شَعْرُهَا فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا الْقَوْمُ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ وَإِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الدَّيْرِ مَنْ هُوَ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ إِلَى رُؤْيَتِكُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ الْقَوْمُ فَوَجَدُوا إِنْسَانًا مُكَبَّلًا بِالْحَدِيدِ يُصادِرُونَهُ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَعْجَبَهُ دُخُولُهُمْ فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَخْرَجَ صَاحِبُكُمْ بَعْدُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ مَا فَعَلَ؟ قُلْنَا كَثِيرَةُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قُلْنَا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ قَالَ فَعَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ قُلْنَا كَثِيرَةُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ أَمَا أَنِّي لَوْ خَرَجْتُ لَوَطَأْتُ الْبِلَادَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ قَالَتْ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَشْخَصَ يَدَهُ «هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ يُومِئُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ»  

[Machine] I entered upon Fatimah bint Qays, so she brought me some dates and I said, "Indeed, this is good." So she said, "Who are you?" I said, "Aamir." She said, "The Shu'abi?" I said, "Yes." Then I said, "Tell me a narration that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So she said, "He stood one day on the pulpit and the people gathered. He said, 'O people, news of your enemy has not reached me. However, Tameem Ad-Dari narrated to me that a group of his people rode the sea and a strong wind blew them towards an island where they landed. Suddenly, they were faced with a beast dragging its hair. We said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah and Ad-Dasasah.' It said, 'Go to that monastery for there is news there.' So we set off and found the Dajjal standing there. He said, 'Who are you?' We said, 'We are from the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ .' He rejoiced and said, 'Has Muhammad ﷺ been sent as a Messenger?' Then he asked about the spring of Zughar, Tabariyyah, and the palm trees of Baysan. Then he tied one of his legs and said, 'If I were to release it, I would trample upon the earth except for Makkah and Madinah.'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيَّ تَمْرًا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَطَيِّبٌ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ عَامِرٌ فَقَالَتْ الشَّعْبِيُّ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ حَدِّثِينِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتِيهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ قَامَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِنِي خَبَرٌ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَعَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ فَأَضَافَتْهُمْ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فَنَزَلُوا فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا فَقُلْنَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ وَالدَّسَّاسَةُ قَالَتْ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى ذَاكَ الدَّيْرِ فَإِنَّ ثَمَّ الْخَبَرَ وَإِذْ دَيْرٌ قَرِيبٌ قَالُوا فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَإِذَا الدَّجَّالُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَفَرِحَ وَقَالَ أَوَقَدْ بُعِثَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ؟ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرٍ وطَبَرِيَّةَ وَعَنْ نَخَلَاتِ بَيْسَانَ ثُمَّ شالَ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُمَا مُقَيَّدَتانِ فَقَالَ لَوْ قَدْ أُطْلِقَتْ هَذِهِ لَوَطَأْتُ الْأَرْضَ بِهَا إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةَ
