3930. Umm Sharīk narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The people will flee from the Dajjāl such that they will go to the mountains." Umm Sharīk said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Where will the Arabs be that day?" He said: "They will be few." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.
٣٩٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَزْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ شَرِيكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيَفِرَّنَّ النَّاسُ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ» حَتَّى يَلْحَقُوا بِالْجِبَالِ. قَالَتْ: أُمُّ شَرِيكٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَأَيْنَ الْعَرَبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: هُمْ قَلِيلٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Umm Sharik's point was how would the bravery, courage and valor of the Arabs would allow them to take refuge in the mountains, why will they not stand guard to the religion of Islam. On this the Prophet ﷺ stated that they would be less in number against the Dajjal's supporters and for the sake of saving their faith they would take refuge in caves and mountains.
