Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40304 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Khaythamah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting the Qur'an in the mosque when he reached this verse: "Like a crop that has put forth its shoot" [Al-Fath: 29]. Sayyiduna Abdullah said: You are the crop, and the time of your reaping has drawn near. Then the people mentioned the Dajjal in that gathering of theirs. Some of them said: We wish he would emerge so that we could pelt him with stones. Sayyiduna Abdullah said: You say this? By the One besides whom there is no god, if you were to hear that he is in Babylon, one of you would go to him, and he would complain to him of his worn-out feet because of the speed with which he reached him.
