Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40071 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Abu Zur'ah that he said: Three Muslim men were sitting with Marwan bin al-Hakam, and they heard him speaking about the signs: that the first of the signs is the coming out of the Dajjal. Those men went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and told Sayyiduna Abdullah what they had heard from Marwan bin al-Hakam about the signs, that the first sign is the coming out of the Dajjal. Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "Marwan has not stated anything. I memorised a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I have not forgotten since. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The first of the signs to come out is the rising of the sun from its place of setting, or the coming out of the Beast upon the people in the forenoon; and whichever of these two signs comes before the other, the other will follow soon after it.'" Then Sayyiduna Abdullah, who used to read the scriptures, said: "I think the first of these two signs will be the rising of the sun from its place of setting. That is because whenever it sets, it comes beneath the Throne, prostrates, and asks permission to rise again, and it is given permission to rise again, until, when Allah Almighty wills that the sun should rise from its place of setting, it will come beneath the Throne, prostrate, and ask permission to return, and no answer will be given to it. Then it will come back and ask permission to return, and no answer will be given to it. Then it will come back and ask permission to return, and no answer will be given to it, until, when as much of the night has passed as Allah wills, and the sun knows that even if it were given permission it could not reach the east, it will say: 'O my Lord, how far the east is!' The sun will say: 'O my Lord, who will answer for me regarding the people?' Until, when the horizon lights up as though it were a ring, it will ask permission to return, and it will be told: 'Stay in your place and rise.' So it will rise upon the people from its place of setting." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah recited this verse: "On the day a sign of your Lord comes, the faith of no person will avail him who had not believed before, or had not earned any good through his faith" [Al-An'am: 158].
