Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The fear of the one-eyed Dajjal will never enter Madinah. On that day Madinah will have seven gates, and at every gate two angels will be appointed."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Dajjal will traverse the whole earth except Makkah and Madinah. When he comes to Madinah, he will find rows of angels at every one of its passes. Then he will come to the salt marsh of al-Harf and pitch his tent. Then Madinah will shake three times, and every hypocrite man and hypocrite woman will come out to him."
