Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7684

Sayyidah Ruzaynah (may Allah be pleased with her), the freed slave-woman of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: Sayyidah Sawdah al-Yamaniyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to visit Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) was also with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) had come dressed up and in a very fine state. She was wearing a fine Yemeni cloak and a fine head-covering of the same kind, and on her (face) were two dots like two lentils, of aloe and saffron, reaching to the corners of her eyes. The female narrator Ulaylah said: I have seen women adorning themselves with it. Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "O Mother of the Believers! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will come, and this one will be sitting among us all adorned." The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: "O Hafsah! Fear Allah." Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "I will spoil her adornment." Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "What are you saying?" - she was hard of hearing. Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her: "O Sawdah! The one-eyed one (i.e. the Dajjal) has come out." She said: "Really?" She became extremely frightened and began to tremble. She asked: "Where shall I hide?" Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Go into the tent." They had a tent made of dry palm fronds in which they used to hide. She went and hid in it; there was rubbish lying in it and spider webs. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and meanwhile these two women (i.e. Sayyidah Aishah and Sayyidah Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with them) were laughing and could not speak because of how much they were laughing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this laughter about?" He asked this three times, and the two of them pointed with their hands towards the tent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went there, and there was Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) trembling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Sawdah! What is the matter with you?" She said: "O Messenger of Allah! The one-eyed one (i.e. the Dajjal) has come out." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has not come out, but he will surely come out; he has not come out, but he will surely come out." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside, brought her out, and began brushing the dust and spider webs off her.
Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani recorded it, except that al-Tabarani has these words: Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will come to us while we are in a shabby state, and this one will be shining among us." Its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
