[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."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once came quickly to the pulpit and called out to the people to gather for the congregational prayer. The people gathered and he said, "O people, I did not call you out of desire or fear. Rather, Tamim the Dari informed me that a group of people from Palestine boarded a ship, but were thrown by the winds to an island among the islands of the sea. There, they encountered a beast with thick hair. It is not known whether it is male or female because of the abundance of its hair. They asked, 'Who are you?' and it replied, 'I am the Jassasah.' They asked it to inform them, but it replied, 'I am not an informer or one who seeks information. However, in this monastery, there is a poor man who longs to inform you and seek information from you.' So they entered the monastery and found a man chained with iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' and he said, 'We are the Arabs.' He asked them, 'Has the Prophet been sent among you?' and they replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Have the Arabs obeyed him?' and they replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He asked, 'What has Persia done?' and they answered, 'It has not appeared on it yet.' He said, 'Indeed, it will appear on it.' Then he asked, 'What has happened to Zughar?' and they replied, 'It is flowing abundantly.' He asked, 'What has happened to the palm trees of Baysan?' and they replied, 'They have been fertilized.' He then jumped away until we thought he would slip away, so we asked, 'Who are you?' and he replied, 'I am the Dajjal (the Antichrist). Indeed, I will travel throughout the entire earth except Makkah and Madinah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Rejoice, O Muslims. This is the land of Tayyiba (Madinah) that he cannot enter.'"

[Machine] On a certain day, the Prophet ﷺ came quickly and ascended the pulpit. It was announced to the people to gather for a congregational prayer. The people assembled, and he said, "O people, I did not call you out of desire or fear, but Tamim ad-Dari has informed me that a group of people from the people of Palestine embarked on a ship and were tossed by the wind onto an island from the islands of the sea. Suddenly, they found themselves before a creature with a lot of hair, and they could not determine if it was male or female due to its excessive hair. They asked, 'Who are you?' It replied, 'I am the Jassasah.' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I am not here to inform or give you any information. However, in this monastery, there is a poor man who is eager to inform you and provide you with the information you seek.' They entered the monastery, and found a blind and cross-eyed man bound in iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'We are the Arabs.' He asked, 'Has the Prophet been sent among you?' They replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Do the Arabs follow him?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is good for them.' Then he asked, 'What has happened to Persia? Have they shown any signs of following him?' They said, 'No, they have not.' He said, 'They will soon be shown signs.' Then he asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They replied, 'It is flowing as usual.' He asked, 'What has happened to Lake Tiberias?' They replied, 'It is also flowing as usual.' He asked, 'What has happened to the palm trees of Baysan? Are they still bearing fruit?' They replied, 'Yes, their first fruits have ripened.' At that, he jumped up, thinking he would fall and run away. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am the Dajjal. Surely, I will traverse the entire Earth, except for Makkah and Madinah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give glad tidings to the Muslim community, for this city of Madinah will not be entered by the Dajjal."

They asked, 'What did Persia do?' He replied, 'Did it appear on them?' They replied, 'No.' He asked, 'And what did Byzantium do? Did it appear on them?' They replied, 'No.' He said, 'It will surely appear on them too. And what did the eye of Za'ghar do?' They replied, 'It is covered with a flood.' He asked, 'And what did the palm trees of Baysan do? Did they bear fruit?' They replied, 'Yes, their first fruits.' He leaped with his legs, until we thought that he was about to run away. So we asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am the Dajjal (the Antichrist). By Allah, I will soon be given permission to emerge and I will traverse the entire earth, except Makkah and Madinah.'

[Machine] He said to Fatimah bint Qays, "Tell me something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and do not tell me something that you have not heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "Yes, I heard the call to prayer being announced, so the people gathered and became frightened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then climbed the pulpit and praised Allah and glorified Him. He said, 'I did not gather you out of desire or fear, but rather I have heard a narration from Tameem Ad-Daari that he claimed to have ridden the sea with thirty men from Lakhm and Juzam tribes. The sea played with us and we sailed with the waves for a month until we were thrown by the ship onto an island in the sea. We went out on it and found a young girl whose hair was being combed, and we did not know if she was coming or going. We asked her, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the Jassasah.' We said, 'Tell us about the person who lives in the monastery, for he will inform you and give you news.' We entered upon him and found a man who was being held to a chain that was made of iron and was fastened to the ground. We asked, 'Who are you?' He replied, 'Inform me about what I will ask you, (first).' We said, 'Ask.' He said, 'What has the date-palm of Baysaan produced?' We replied, 'Dates.' He said, 'Verily, it shall not bear any more dates.' He said, 'What about the lake of Zughar, is there water in it?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Verily, it shall become dry.' He then said, 'Inform me about this man who claims to be a prophet. Has he been sent?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Indeed, soon the earth shall be rolled up for him and he will come to all people within forty mornings.'"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came hastily one day and ascended the pulpit. He announced to the people to gather for the congregational prayer, so the people gathered. He said, "O people, I did not invite you out of desire or fear, but Tamim Ad-Dari informed me that some people from the people of Palestine took a boat and were cast by the wind onto an island from the islands of the sea. There, they found a creature, neither male nor female, from the abundance of hair. They asked, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' They asked, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I am not a informer or a seeker of information from you, but there is someone here who is poor and wants to inform you and ask you.' So, they went to a monastery and found a man, heavily chained with iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'We are the Arabs.' They asked, 'Has the Prophet been sent among you?' They replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Have the Arabs obeyed him?' They replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He asked, 'What did Persia do?' They replied, 'It has declined.' He said, 'Has Byzantium been defeated?' They replied, 'It has not been defeated.' He said, 'It will soon be defeated until it is humiliated.' He asked, 'What did `Ubaydullah do?' They replied, 'He is a righteous man.' He said, 'What did a Dabbah (wild animal) do?' They replied, 'Its qualities appeared, so we feared that it might overpower us.' He asked, 'What did the date-palm tree of Bisan (Palestine) do?' They replied, 'It irrigated the first.' He said, 'Then it will remain like that.' He asked, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are the Muslims.' He said, 'Give the good news to the Muslim community that this is Taibah (Madinah) which no one can enter except a believer.'

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مُسْرِعًا فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَنُودِيَ فِي النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَدْعُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةٍ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ نَزَلَتْ وَلَكِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَقَذَفَتْهُمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ لَا يُدْرَى أَذَكَرٌ هُوَ أَمْ أُنْثَى مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا أَخْبِرِينَا؟ قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَا مُسْتَخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَكِنَّ هَاهُنَا مَنْ هُوَ فَقِيرٌ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ وَإِلَى أَنْ يَسْتَخْبِرَكُمْ فَأَتَوَا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَرِيرٍ مُصَفَّدٍ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ قَالَ هَلْ بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَبِعَتْهُ الْعَرَبُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ فَارِسُ؟ قَالُوا لَمْ يَظْهَرْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرَ؟ قَالُوا تَدَفَّقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قَالُوا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ أَوَائِلُهُ فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ وَثْبَةً حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَنْ سَيَغْلِبَ فَقُلْنَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ أَمَا إِنِّي سَأَطَأُ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرُوا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا»
