English Translation

Sulayman ibn Dawud narrated to us, he said: Harb ibn Shaddad narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, who said: al-Hadrami ibn Laheq narrated to me: that Dhakwan Abu Salih informed him that Aishah informed him, she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to me while I was crying, and said to me, "What makes you cry?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I remembered the Dajjal and I wept." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "If the Dajjal appears while I am alive, I will be sufficient for you against him; and if the Dajjal appears after me, then indeed your Lord, Mighty and Sublime, is not one-eyed. He will emerge from a Jewish quarter of Isfahan, until he comes to Madinah and camps at its outskirts. It has, on that day, seven gates, at every pass of which are two angels; the worst of its people will go out to him, until, as far as al-Sham, a city in Palestine at the gate of Ludd" — and Abu Dawud once said, "until he comes to Palestine, to the gate of Ludd" — "then Isa, peace be upon him, will descend and kill him. Then Isa, peace be upon him, will remain on the earth for forty years, a just imam and an equitable arbiter."
