The Dajjal And The Return of Jesus_ Yusuf Ibn Abdullah Ibn Yusuf Al Wabil

THE DAJJ AL AND THE RETURN OF JESUS
Every time I try to enter either of them, I will be met
by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword preventing
me from entering them; and verily every path
(naqb) 15 leading to it (i.e., Makkah and Macilnah) will
have angels guarding it.'
Fatimah bint Qays said, "The Prophet striking the
pulpit with his staff, said: 'this is T qyyibah, this is T qyyihah,
this is Tayyihah, - meaning Madinah. Have I not related
to you something like that (before)?' 16
Thereupon the people replied, "Yes."
He said, 'Certainly the account Tamimi has delighted
me for it agrees with what I have been narrating to
you concerning the Dajjal, and about Makkah and
Madinah. Indeed, he is in the Syrian sea or the Yemeni
Sea. No, on the contrary, he is in the East, he is in the
East, he is in the East' and he pointed with his hands
towards the East.
Fatimah said: 'I memorised this (entire narration)
from the Messenger of Allah (~)-"' 17
Ibn l::lajr commented, 'Indeed some have presumed, that the
J:iadith of Fatimah bint Qays - is strange (gharib) and odd (Jarad),
which is not so. For besides Fatimah bint Qays, this ]:iadith has
been narrated by Abu Hurayrah, 'A'ishah and Jabir also.' 18
