4326. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah (he said): "Āmir bin Sharāhil Ash-Sha'bi narrated to us, from Fātimah bint Qais, that she said: 'I heard the caller of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ crying out: "As-Ṣalātu Jāmi'ah (prayer is about to begin)." So I went out and prayed with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had finished the prayer, he sat on the Minbar, and he was smiling.' He said: "Let each person remain in the place where he prayed." Then he said: "Do you know why I called you together?" They said: "Allāh and His Messenger know best." He said: "By Allah, I did not call you together for some alarming news or for something good. Rather I have called you together because Tamīm Ad-Dārī was a Christian, and he came and pledged allegiance, and accepted Islam. He told me something which agrees with what I was telling you about the Dajjāl. He told me that he sailed on a ship with thirty men of Lakhm and Judhām and they were tossed by the waves of the sea for a month. Then they were cast upon an island at sunset. They sat in a small rowing-boat and landed on that island. They were met by a beast with a great deal of hair. They said: 'Woe to you, what are you?' It said: 'I am Al-Jassāsah. Go to this man in the monastery, for he is anxious to know about you.' He said: 'When it named a man for us, we were afraid of it, lest it be a she-devil. We set off, rushing, until we came to that monastery, where we found the largest man we had ever seen, bound strongly in chains with his hands bound to his neck.'" And he mentioned the Hadith; "and he asked them about the date-palms of Baisān, the spring of Zughar and the unlettered Prophet. And he said: 'I am the Dajjāl, and soon I will be given permission to emerge.'" And the Prophet ﷺ said: "He is in the Sea of Ash-Shām (Mediterranean), or the Yemeni Sea (Arabian Sea). No, rather he is in the east" twice, and pointed with his hand towards the east. She said: "I memorized this from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Sahih)

4326 - حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُسَيْنًا الْمُعَلِّمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرُ بْنُ شَرَاحِيلَ الشَّعْبِيُّ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ مُنَادِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنَادِي: أَنِ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ، فَخَرَجْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ، جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، قَالَ: «لِيَلْزَمْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مُصَلَّاهُ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ لِمَ جَمَعْتُكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: " إِنِّي مَا جَمَعْتُكُمْ لِرَهْبَةٍ، وَلَا رَغْبَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ جَمَعْتُكُمْ أَنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ كَانَ رَجُلًا نَصْرَانِيًّا، فَجَاءَ فَبَايَعَ وَأَسْلَمَ، وَحَدَّثَنِي حَدِيثًا وَافَقَ الَّذِي حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ بَحْرِيَّةٍ مَعَ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ لَخْمٍ، وَجُذَامٍ، فَلَعِبَ بِهِمُ الْمَوْجُ شَهْرًا فِي الْبَحْرِ، وَأَرْفَئُوا إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ حِينَ مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ، فَجَلَسُوا فِي أَقْرُبِ السَّفِينَةِ، فَدَخَلُوا الْجَزِيرَةَ، فَلَقِيَتْهُمْ دَابَّةٌ أَهْلَبُ كَثِيرَةُ الشَّعْرِ، قَالُوا: وَيْلَكِ مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ، انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرَ، فَإِنَّهُ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا سَمَّتْ لَنَا رَجُلًا، فَرِقْنَا مِنْهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ شَيْطَانَةً، فَانْطَلَقْنَا سِرَاعًا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الدَّيْرَ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَعْظَمُ إِنْسَانٍ رَأَيْنَاهُ قَطُّ خَلْقًا، وَأَشَدُّهُ وَثَاقًا مَجْمُوعَةٌ يَدَاهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ - فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ - وَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ نَخْلِ بَيْسَانَ، وَعَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرَ، وَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ، قَالَ: إِنِّي أَنَا الْمَسِيحُ، وَإِنَّهُ يُوشَكُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لِي فِي الْخُرُوجِ "، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَإِنَّهُ فِي بَحْرِ الشَّامِ أَوْ بَحْرِ الْيَمَنِ، لَا، بَلْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مَا هُوَ» مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ، قَالَتْ: حَفِظْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ.
