"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he never used to ascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people were alarmed by that, and some were standing and some were sitting. He gestured to them with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:) 'By Allah, I am not standing here for something that will benefit you, an exhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me and told me something that prevented me from taking a rest because of the joy and delight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you. A cousin of Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an island that they did not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the ship and set out. There they saw something black, with long eyelashes. They said to it: "What are you?" It said: "I am Jassasah," They said: "Tell us." It said: "I will not tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather there is this monastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is a man there who is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So they went there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmly shackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal. He said to them: "Where have you come from?" They said: "From Sham." He said: "How are the Arabs faring?" They said: "We are from among the Arabs. What do you want to ask about?" He said: "What has this man done who has appeared among you?" They said: "(He has done) well. He made enemies of some people, but Allah supported him against them and now they have become one, with one God and one religion." He said: "What happened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good; we irrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "What happened to the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" They said: "They bear fruit every year." He said: "What happened to the Lake of Tiberias?" They said: "It overflows because of the abundance of water." He gave three deep sighs, then he said: "If I were to free myself from these chains, I would not leave any land without entering it on these two feet of mine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." The Prophet ﷺ said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broad road in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel (standing) over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day of Resurrection.'"

[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."

[Machine] One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came hurriedly and climbed the pulpit. It was announced to the people that the congregational prayer was about to begin. So the people gathered and he said, "O people, I did not call you out of desire or fear. Rather, Tamim ad-Dari informed me that a group from the people of Palestine set sail in the sea and the wind cast them to an island from the islands of the sea. There, they found a beast with a lot of hair, so much so that they couldn't tell if it was male or female. They asked, 'Who are you?' and it replied, 'I am al-Jassasah.' They asked it to tell them about themselves, but it said, 'I am neither a teller nor a seeker of information. However, there is a poor man in this monastery who can inform you and seek information from you.' So they entered the monastery and found a man, blind in one eye, chained with iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He replied, 'We are the Arabs.' They asked, 'Was a Prophet sent amongst you?' He replied, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Did the Arabs follow him?' He replied, 'Yes.' 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.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Rejoice, O Muslims! This is the blessed land that he will not be able to enter.'"

[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] I heard Fatimah bint Qays saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and praised Allah and glorified Him. Then he said, 'I warn you against the Dajjal (the Antichrist), for no prophet was sent before me who did not warn his nation against him. He is indeed among you, and indeed the sign of a restoration of a red hair, which she (the story-teller) mentioned. They added, 'Tell us'! She replied, 'I am not informing you about anything, neither am I asking you, but go to the monastery, for there is a man who yearns to meet you.' So they went to the monastery and there they found a man chained between two iron columns. The Prophet asked, 'Where are you from and who are you?' They replied, 'We are from the people of the Levant.' He asked, 'Who are you?' They replied, 'We are Arabs.' He asked, 'What are the Arabs doing?' They said, 'They have among them a Prophet in the land of Taimah.' He asked, 'What are the people doing?' They replied, 'Some of them believe him and some of them deny him.' He said, 'If they believe in him and follow him, it is good for them, if they only knew.' Then he asked, 'What are your houses made of?' They replied, 'They are made of hair and wool spun by our women.' He struck his thigh with his hand and said, 'Behold, what a pity! Then he asked, 'What has happened to Tabariyyah?' They replied, 'Its waters flow in all directions and whoever comes to it can take from it.' He struck his thigh with his hand and said, 'Behold, what a pity!' Then he asked, 'What has happened to your spring Zughar?' They replied, 'Its waters flow in all directions and whoever comes to it can take from it.' He struck his thigh with his hand and said, 'Behold, what a pity!' Then he asked, 'What has happened to the date-palm of Baysan?' They replied, 'Its fruit is taken.' He struck his thigh with his hand and said, 'Behold, what a pity! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, if I have been released from these fetters, I would have destroyed every house of Baysan except the mosques of Makkah and Al-Madinah, as they hinder the Dajjal from entering them until the Day of Resurrection.'"  

سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ تَقُولُ صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أُنْذِرُكُمُ الدَّجَّالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَنْذَرَهُ أُمَّتَهُ وَهُوَ كَائِنٌ فِيكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ إِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَلَا أُمَّةَ بَعْدَكُمْ إِلَّا إِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ عَمٍّ لَهُ وَأَصْحَابَهُ رَكِبُوا بَحْرَ الشَّامِ فَانْتَهَوْا إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَهْمَاءَ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا قَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ الْجَسَّاسَةُ أَوِ الَجَاسِسَةُ قَالُوا أَخْبِرِينَا؟ قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا سَائِلَتِكُمْ عَنْهُ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا الدَّيْرَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ رَجُلًا بِالْأَشْوَاقِ إِلَى لِقَائِكُمْ فَأَتَوَا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِرَجُلٍ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ مُوثَقٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟ وَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ قَالَ فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلْتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ قَالُوا خَرَجَ فِيهِمْ نَبِيٌّ بِأَرْضِ تَيْمَاءَ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالُوا فِيهِمْ مَنْ صَدَّقَهُ وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ كَذَّبَهُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يُصَدِّقُوهُ وَيَتَّبِعُوهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بُيُوتُكُمْ؟ قَالُوا مِنْ شَعَرٍ وَصُوفٍ تَغْزِلُهُ نِسَاؤُنَا قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ طَبَرِيَّةَ؟ قَالُوا تَدَفَّقُ جَوَانِبُهَا يَصْدُرُ مَنْ أَتَاهَا فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرَ؟ قَالُوا تَدَفَّقُ جَوَانِبُهَا يَصْدُرُ مَنْ أَتَاهَا قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قَالُوا يُؤْتِي جَنَاهُ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَوْ قَدْ حُلِلْتُ مِنْ وَثَاقِي هَذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ مَنْهَلٌ إِلَّا وَطِئْتُهُ إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْهِمَا سَبِيلٌ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ حَرَّمْتُهَا كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا فِيهَا نَقْبٌ فِي سَهْلٍ وَلَا جَبَلٍ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهِ مَلَكَانِ شَاهِرَا السَّيْفِ يَمْنَعَانِ الدَّجَّالَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[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»  

[Machine] I was in the market of Al-Majaz when a young man passed by wearing a red cloak. He was saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will be successful." A man behind him threw stones at him, causing his face and legs to bleed, saying, "O people, he is a liar, so do not obey him." So I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is the son of Hashim's slave girl, who claims to be the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and this is his uncle 'Abdul-'Uzza." When Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Medina and the people embraced Islam, we also left our tribe with our property. When we arrived at Medina and were near its walls, we changed our clothes to different ones. Then, a man on the road asked, "From where have the people come?" We said, "We are from the tribe of Na'mir and we have a red camel standing with a slit ear." He asked, "Are you selling your camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such a measure of dates." He did not reduce anything from our words and hit his hand. He then took the reins of our camel and turned away with it. When he disappeared from our sight behind the walls, we said, "By Allah, we have not done anything wrong and we have given our pledge to a person we do not know." Then a woman sitting there said, "I have seen a man whose face resembles a full moon. By Allah, he will neither oppress you nor disappoint you. I guarantee your camel." Then, a man came and said, "I am the Messenger, the Messenger of Allah, to you. This is your camel's provision, so eat, be satisfied, and store some." So we ate, were satisfied, stored some, and entered the mosque. We found him delivering a sermon from the pulpit. We heard him saying, "Give charity, as charity is beneficial for you. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin by giving to those you have obligations towards, such as your father, mother, sister, brother, and the closest relatives." So a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Yarbu' who killed one of us during the pre-Islamic period. Should we still fulfill our obligations towards them?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said three times, "Indeed, a father does not inherit from his child."
