Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40300 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Tha'labah bin Abbad al-Abdi, who was one of the people of Basrah, that one day he attended a sermon of Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), and in his sermon he narrated a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "By Allah, the Hour will not come until thirty liars emerge, the last of them being the one-eyed Dajjal, whose left eye is effaced, as though it were like the eye of Abu Tahya, or Abu Yahya, an old man among the Ansar. When he emerges, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, affirms him and follows him, his past good deeds will not benefit him; and whoever rejects him and denies him will not be punished for his past (evil) deeds. He will prevail over the whole earth except the Sanctuary and Bayt al-Maqdis, and he will confine the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis." He said: "Allah Almighty will defeat him and his army, until the foot of a wall, or he said: the root of a tree, will call out: O believer, this disbeliever is hiding behind me, come and kill him. And this will never happen until you see matters that will loom large in your minds, and you ask one another: Did your Prophet mention anything about this? And until mountains move from their places. Then after that will come the seizing," and he gestured with his hand (by the seizing is meant, and Allah knows best, general death and the occurrence of the Resurrection). The narrator said: Then I attended another sermon of his. He said: He mentioned this same hadith, without moving a word forward or back.
