(The
Book of Tribulations and the Signs of the Last Hour)
CHAPTER: THE HADITH PERTAINING TO THE SPY OF THE DAJJAL
Hadeeth No. 7028
Amir b. Sharahil Sha'bi
Sha'b Hamdan reported that he asked Fatima, daughter of Qais and
sister of ad-Dahhak b. Qais
and she was
the first amongst the emigrant
women: Narrate to me a hadith which you had heard directly from Allaah's
Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and there is no extra link in between
them. She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that, and he said
to her: Well, do It and narrate that to me.
She said: I married the son
of Mughira and he was a chosen young man of Quraish at that time, but he fell
as a martyr in the first Jihad (fighting) on the side of Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam).
When I became
a widow, 'Abd
al-Rahman b. Auf, one amongst the group of the Companions
of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), sent me the proposal of
marriage. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) also sent me such a
message for his freed slave Usama b. Zaid. And
it had been
conveyed to me
that Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had said (about Usama): He who loves me
should also love Usama. When Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam)
talked to me (about this matter), I said: My affairs are in your hand. You may
marry me to anyone whom you like. He said: You better shift now to the house of
Umm Sharik, and Umm Sharik was a rich lady from amongst the Anqir. She spent
generously for the cause of Allaah and entertained guests very hospitably. I
said: Well, I will do as you like. He said: Do not do that for Umm Sharik is a
woman who is very frequently visited by guests and I do not like that your head
may be uncovered or the cloth may be removed from your shank and the strangers
may catch sight of them which you abhor. You better shift to the house of your
cousin 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. Umm Maktum and he is a person of the Bani Fihr
branch of the Quraish, and he belonged to that tribe (to which Fatima)
belonged. So I shifted to that house,
and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer
making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque (where)
congregational prayer (is observed).
So I set out towards that
mosque and observed prayer along with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam) and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men.
When Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit
smiling and said:
Every
worshipper should keep sitting at his place.
He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble?
They said: Allaah and His
Messenger know best.
He said: By Allaah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation
or for a warning, but I have
detained you here,
for Tamim Dari, a
Christian, who came
and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I
was-telling, you about the Dajjal.
He
narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm
and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then
these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time
of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that Island. There was a
beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish
his face from his back.
They said: Woe to you, who
can you be?
Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa.
They said: What is
al-Jassasa?
And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very
much eager to know about you.
He (the narrator) said: When
it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil. Then
we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built
person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between
his two legs up to the ankles.
We said: Woe be upon thee,
who are you?
And he said: You would soon come to know about me. But tell me who are
you.
We said: We are people from
Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for
one month and they brought as near this island. We got Into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could
not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be
to thee, who
are you? It said:
I am al-
Jassasa. We said:
What is al-Jassasa? And it said:
You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you
to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be
the Devil.
He (that chained person)
said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan.
We said: About what aspect
of theirs do you seek information?
He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not.
We said: Yes
Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits.
He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya?
We said: Which aspect of it
do you want to know?
He said: Is there water in it?
They said: There is
abundance of water in it.
Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry.
He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar.
They said: Which aspect of
it you want to know?
He (the chained person)
said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the
land)?
We said to him: Yes, there
is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with
the help of
it,
He said: Inform me about
the unlettered Prophet; what has he done?
We said: He has come out
from Mecca and has settled In Yathrib (Medina).
He said: Do the Arabs fight against him?
We said: Yes.
He said: How did he deal with him?
We informed him that he had
overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before
him.
Thereupon he said to us: Had it actually
happened?
We said: Yes.
Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better
for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself
and I am Dajjal and would be soon
permitted to get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will
not spare any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Mecca and Medina as these two (places)
are prohibited (areas) for me and I
would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel with a sword
in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to
guard every passage leading to it;
then Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of
his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning Medina.
Have I not, told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this?
'The people said: Yes,
and this
account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account
which I gave to you in regard to him (Dajjal)
at Medina and
Mecca. Behold he
(Dajjal) is in
the Syrian sea (Mediterranian) or the Yemen sea (Arabian
sea). Nay, on the contrary, he As In the east, he is in the east, he is in the
east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east.
I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I
preserved It In my mind (this narration from Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam).

Al-Sha'bi reported:
We visited Fatima b. Qais and she served us fresh dates which are called rutab and she
also served us barley. I asked her about that woman in whose case
three divorces had been pronounced as to how much time she should count as the
waiting period. She said: My husband pronounced three divorces in my case and
Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) permitted me to spend
any waiting period in my family.
(It was during this period) that
announcement was made for the people to
observe prayer in the bigger Mosque. I went there along with people and I was
in the front row meant for women and it
was adjacent to the last row of men and
I heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam) deliver sermon sitting on the pulpit. He said: The cousin of Tamim (Dari) sailed in the ocean.
The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition:" (I see) as if
I am looking to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) pointing his
rod towards the land (and saying): It is Taiba, i. e. Medina."
Hadeeth
No. 7030
Tamim Dari
came to Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and informed Allaah's Messenger
(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) that he sailed in an ocean and his ship lost
direction and thus landed at an island. They moved about in that land in search
of water. There they saw a person who had been pulling his hair. The rest of
the hadith is the same. And he (Dajjal) said: If I were
to be permitted to set out I
would have covered
all the lands except
Taiba. Then Allaah's
Messerger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) brought (Tamim Dari) before the public
and he narrated to them and said: That is Taiba and that is the Dajjal.
Hadeeth
No. 7031
Fatima b. Qais reported that
Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) sat on the pulpit and said: O people, Tamim Dari has reported to me that some persons
of his tribe sailed in the ocean in a boat and it capsised and then some of
them travelled on one of the planks of the boat and they went to an island in
the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same.
Hadeeth
No. 7032
Anas b. Malik reported that
Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
There will be
no land which would not be covered by the Dajjal but Mecca and Medina, and
there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be
guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Dajjal) would appear in a
barren place adjacent to Medina and it would rock three times that every
unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him.
Hadeeth
No. 7033
This hadith
has been transmitted
on the authority
of Anas that
Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said this but with
this addition that (the Dajjal would come) and
pitch his tent in the waste-land of Juruf and thus there would come out of (the
city) every hypocrite, man and woman.
