حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ : نَا سَيْفُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ الْأُسْوَارِيُّ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ مُنَادِيَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنَادِي : الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ ، فَخَرَجْتُ فِي نِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ ، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ضَاحِكًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا جَمَعْتُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةِ حَدِيثٍ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ ، إِلَّا لِحَدِيثٍ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ ، أَتَانِي فَأَسْلَمَ وَبَايَعَ ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ فِي ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ لَخْمٍ وَجُذَامٍ - وَهُمَا حَيَّانِ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ - فَصَادَفُوا الْبَحْرَ حِينَ اغْتَلَمَ ، فَلَعِبَ بِهِمُ الْمَوْجُ شَهْرًا ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَهُمْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ ، قَالَ : فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِدَابَّةٍ أَهْلَبَ ، لَا نَعْرِفُ قُبُلَهَا مِنْ دُبُرِهَا ، قُلْنَا : مَنْ أَنْتِ أَيَّتُهَا الدَّابَّةُ ؟ فَأَذِنَ اللهُ ، فَكَلَّمَتْنَا بِلِسَانٍ ذَلْقٍ طَلْقٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ ، قُلْنَا : وَمَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ ؟ قَالَتْ : إِلَيْكُمْ عَنِّي ، عَلَيْكُمْ بِذَاكَ الدَّيْرِ فِي أَقْصَى الْجَزِيرَةِ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ رَجُلًا هُوَ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ . فَأَتَيْنَا الدَّيْرَ ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِرَجُلٍ ، أَعْظَمُ رَجُلٍ رَأَيْتُهُ قَطُّ خَلْقًا ، وَأَجْسَمُهُ جِسْمًا ، وَإِذَا هُوَ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى ، كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ نُخَامَةٌ فِي جِدَارٍ مُجَصَّصٍ ، وَإِذَا يَدَاهُ مَغْلُولَتَانِ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ ، وَإِذَا رِجْلَاهُ مَشْدُودَتَانِ بِالْكُبُولِ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ : مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَّا خَبَرِي فَقَدْ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ خَبَرِكُمْ ؟ مَا أَوْقَعَكُمْ هَذِهِ الْجَزِيرَةَ ؟ وَهَذِهِ الْجَزِيرَةُ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا آدَمِيٌّ مُنْذُ صِرْتُ إِلَيْهَا .
فَقَالَ لَنَا : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ بُحَيْرَةِ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ ، مَا فَعَلَتْ ؟ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ : عَنْ أَيِّ أَمْرِهَا تَسْأَلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَلْ نَضَبَ مَاؤُهَا ؟ هَلْ بَدَا مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْعَجَائِبِ ؟ قُلْنَا : لَا وَاللهِ ، قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ - ثُمَّ سَكَتَ مَلِيًّا - ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرَ ، مَا فَعَلَتْ ؟ قُلْنَا : عَنْ أَيِّ أَمْرِهَا تَسْأَلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَلْ يَحْتَرِثُ عَلَيْهَا أَهْلُهَا ؟ قُلْنَا لَهُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَغُورُ عَنْهَا مَاؤُهَا ، فَلَا يَحْتَرِثُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُهَا ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ مَلِيًّا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ نَخْلِ بَيْسَانَ ، مَا فَعَلَ ؟ قُلْنَا : عَنْ أَيِّ أَمْرِهِ تَسْأَلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَلْ يُثْمِرُ ؟ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يُثْمِرُ ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ مَلِيًّا ، فَقَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ ، مَا فَعَلَ ؟ قُلْنَا : عَنْ أَيِّ أَمْرِهِ تَسْأَلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَلْ ظَهَرَ ؟ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَمَا صَنَعَتْ مَعَهُ الْعَرَبُ ؟ فَقُلْنَا : مِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَاتَلَهُ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ صَدَّقَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهُ مَنْ صَدَّقَهُ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ - ثَلَاثًا ، فَقُلْنَا : أَخْبِرْنَا خَبَرَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا تَعْرِفُونِي ؟ قُلْنَا : لَوْ عَرَفْنَاكَ مَا سَأَلْنَاكَ . قَالَ : أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ ، يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لِي فِي الْخُرُوجِ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْتُ وَطِئْتُ أَرْضَ الْعَرَبِ كُلَّهَا ، غَيْرَ مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ ، كُلَّمَا أَرَدْتُهُمَا اسْتَقْبَلَنِي مَلَكٌ بِيَدِهِ السَّيْفُ مُصْلَتًا ، فَرَدَّنِي عَنْهُمَا I " ، قَالَ أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ : قَالَ عَامِرٌ : قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ : فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ ، إِنَّ هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ I " ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَنَّهُ فِي بَحْرِ الشَّامِ ؟ I " ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " بَلْ هُوَ فِي بَحْرِ الْيَمَنِ I " ، ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " هُوَ فِي بَحْرِ الْعِرَاقِ I " ثَلَاثًا I " يَخْرُجُ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَلْدَةٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : أَصْبَهَانُ ، مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَاهَا ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : رُسْتُقْبَادُ ، يَخْرُجُ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ عَلَى مُقَدِّمَتِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا ، عَلَيْهِمُ السِّيجَانُ ، مَعَهُ نَهَرَانِ : نَهَرٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، وَنَهَرٌ مِنْ نَارٍ ، فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : ادْخُلِ الْمَاءَ ، فَلَا يَدْخُلْهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ نَارٌ ، وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ : ادْخُلِ النَّارَ ، فَلْيَدْخُلْهَا ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَاءٌ .

Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that she said: "I heard the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) calling out: 'Al-salatu jami'ah' (Gather for the prayer). So I went out with some women of the Ansar until we reached the mosque. There the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit, turned his face towards us smiling, and said: 'By Allah! I have not gathered you for (news of) any hope or fear; rather, I have gathered you because Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) told me something. He came to me, accepted Islam and gave his pledge of allegiance, and then told me that he set out on a sea voyage with thirty men of Lakhm and Judham, and these two are Arab tribes of the people of Yemen. They met a raging sea, and the waves tossed them about for a month; then, near sunset, they cast them onto the shore of one of the islands of the sea. He said: There we came upon a very hairy beast; because of its abundant hair we could not tell its front from its back. We asked: O beast, who are you? By the command of Allah it spoke in an eloquent, fluent tongue and said: I am al-Jassasah. We asked: What is al-Jassasah? It said: Move away from me and go to the monastery at the far end of this island, for in it there is a man who is waiting most eagerly for news of you. So we went to the monastery, and there we saw a man, the biggest in stature and the heaviest in body that I have ever seen. His right eye was blotted out, as though it were a lump of phlegm on a plastered wall; his two hands were tied to his neck, and his two feet were bound in fetters from his knees to his ankles. We asked him: O man, who are you? He said: You will come to know my story; tell me about yourselves: what brought you to this island? For since I came here, no human being has reached it.
He said to us: Tell me about the Lake of Tiberias: what is its state? We asked: About which aspect of it do you ask? He said: Has its water dried up? Have the wonders in it appeared? We said: No, by Allah. He said: Know that it will soon be so. Then he was silent for a while, and then said: Tell me about the spring of Zughar: what is its state? We asked: About which aspect of it do you ask? He said: Do its people farm with it? We said: Yes. He said: Know that its water will soon sink into the earth, and its people will not be able to farm with it. Then he was silent for a while, and then said: Tell me about the date palms of Baysan: what is their state? We asked: About which aspect of them do you ask? He said: Do they bear fruit? We said: Yes. He said: Know that they will stop bearing fruit. Then he was silent for a while, and then said: Tell me about the unlettered Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): what is his state? We asked: About which aspect of him do you ask? He said: Has he appeared? We said: Yes. He asked: Then how did the Arabs treat him? We told him: Some of them fought him and some of them believed him. He said: Listen! Whoever believed him, that is better for him (he said this three times). Then we said: Now tell us about yourself, O man. He said: Do you not know me? We said: If we had known you, why would we have asked you? He said: I am the Dajjal. Soon I will be given permission to come out, and when I come out I will tread the whole land of the Arabs under my feet, except Makkah and Taybah; whenever I intend to enter either of these two cities, an angel with a drawn sword in his hand will confront me and push me back from them.'"
Abu al-Ashhab (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Amir (may Allah have mercy on him) related that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raise both his hands until I could see the whiteness of his (peace and blessings be upon him) armpits; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "Listen! Shall I not tell you? This indeed is Taybah." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Listen! Shall I not tell you that he is in the Sea of Syria?" Then a swoon came over him (peace and blessings be upon him) for a while, and when he recovered he said: "Rather, he is in the Sea of Yemen." Then a swoon came over him for a while again, and when he recovered he said three times: "He is in the Sea of Iraq. He will come out, when he comes out, from a village called Rustuqbadh in a city called Isfahan. When he comes out, there will be seventy thousand soldiers in his vanguard, wearing green shawls. With him there will be two rivers: a river of water and a river of fire. So whoever of you lives to see that time and is told: Enter the water, let him not enter it, for it is fire; and if he is told: Enter the fire, let him enter it, for in reality it is water."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu al-Ashhab except Sayf bin Miskin, and Abu Ubaydah is alone in narrating it."
