Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40428 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Salamah bin Kuhayl, from Abu al-Za'ra', from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Dajjal was mentioned in his presence. Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "O people, at his emergence you will split into three groups. One group will follow him, one group will go off to the land of its forefathers, to the places where grass grows, and one group will take to the bank of this Euphrates. He (the Dajjal) will fight them and they (the people) will fight him, until the believers gather on the western side of al-Sham. They will send an advance party toward him, among whom will be a horseman on a reddish-white horse or a piebald horse. All of them will be killed, and not one human being among them will return." Salamah said: Abu Sadiq narrated to me from Rabi'ah bin Najid that Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "It will be a reddish-white horse."
