[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi reported from Kathir ibn Abdullah al-Muzani, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will fight the Banu Asfar, and you will kill them, and the believers who come after you will also fight them, and the believers who strive in the way of Allah will go out to fight them. Do not blame them in the sight of Allah until Allah opens Constantinople and Rome for them with tasbih (glorification of Allah) and takbir (saying Allahu Akbar). Its fortresses will be destroyed and they will gain immense wealth, which they will distribute with the measurement scale. Then a caller will cry out, 'O people of Islam, the Dajjal (Antichrist) has emerged in your lands and among your progeny!' They will say, 'Who is this caller?' They will not know who he is, so they will say, 'Look and guide us.' They will send a vanguard to Lud, and if the Dajjal has emerged, he will bring knowledge from him. They will then send the vanguard to Lud. They will say, 'Let's go to them,' and if it is the other (i.e., not the Dajjal), they will fight them until Allah judges between us, and He is the best of judges. And if it is the other, then it is your lands and your tribes to which you have returned."
