2253. Fātimah bint Qais narrated that Allāh's Prophet ﷺ ascended the Minbar, he laughed, and said: "Verily, Tamīm Ad-Dārī narrated a story to me, and it made me happy, so I wanted to narrate it to you [what he narrated to me]. Some people among the inhabitants of Palestine traveled by boat in the sea, taking them here and there, until it cast them on an island among the islands at sea. There they found a beast, clothed with its hair flowing out. They said: 'What are you?' It said: 'I am Al-Jassāsah.' They said: 'Give us some news.' It said: 'I shall not give you any news, nor do I want any of your news. But go to the furthest village, for there is someone who will give you news and seek your news.' So we went to the furthest village, and there was a man fettered with chains. He said: 'Inform me about the spring of Zughar.' We said: 'It is full and flowing.' He said: 'Inform me about Al-Buhairah.'[1] We said, 'It is full and flowing.' He said: 'Inform me about the date groves of Baysān which is between Jordan and Palestine, do they produce food?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Inform me about the Prophet, has he been sent?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Inform me how the people came to him.' We said: 'Quickly.' He leaped up to try and escape.' We said: 'What are you?' He said: 'I am the Dajjāl.'" (The Prophet ﷺ said) "He will enter all of the lands except Aṭ-Ṭaibah, and Aṭ-Ṭaibah is Al-Madinah." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb as a narration of Qatādah from Ash-Sha'bī. It has been reported by more than one from Ash-Sha'bī from Fāṭimah bint Qais.

٢٢٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبِي ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، «أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَضَحِكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ،» حَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثٍ فَفَرِحْتُ بِهِ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا سَفِينَةً فِي الْبَحْرِ فَجَالَتْ بِهِمْ حَتَّى قَذَفَتْهُمْ فِي جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ لَبَّاسَةٍ نَاشِرَةٍ شَعَرَهَا، فَقَالُوا: مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ، قَالُوا: فَأَخْبِرِينَا، قَالَتْ: لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ وَلَا أَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ، وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا أَقْصَى الْقَرْيَةِ، فَإِنَّ ثَمَّ مَنْ يُخْبِرُكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ، فَأَتَيْنَا أَقْصَى الْقَرْيَةِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُوثَقٌ بِسِلْسِلَةٍ، فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرَ، قُلْنَا: مَلْأَى تَدَفَّقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبِرُونِي عَنِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، قُلْنَا: مَلْأَى تَدَفَّقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ نَخْلِ بَيْسَانَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ الْأُرْدُنِّ وَفِلَسْطِينَ هَلْ أَطْعَمَ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَخْبِرُونِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ هَلْ بُعِثَ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: أَخْبِرُونِي كَيْفَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ؟ قُلْنَا: سِرَاعٌ، قَالَ: فَنَزَّى نَزْوَةً حَتَّى كَادَ، قُلْنَا: فَمَا أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ، وَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ الْأَمْصَارَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا طَيْبَةَ، وَطَيْبَةُ الْمَدِينَةُ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ.

Commentary

The Hadīth informs us that just now the Dajjāl is lying chained in an island. He will only be released before the Last Hour when he will perform his nefarious acts magic-like tricks.
