Volume 3, Book 30, Number 113:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle reached Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill. When Abu Bakr’s fever got
worse, he would recite (this poetic verse): “Everybody is staying alive with his People, yet Death is
nearer to him than His shoe laces.” And Bilal, when his fever deserted him, would recite: “Would that
I could stay overnight in A valley wherein I would be Surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (kinds of
good-smelling grass). Would that one day I could Drink the water of the Majanna, and Would that
(The two mountains) Shama and Tafil would appear to me!” The Prophet said, “O Allah! Curse Shaiba
bin Rabi’a and ‘Utba bin Rabi’a and Umaiya bin Khalaf as they turned us out of our land to the land
of epidemics.” Allah’s Apostle then said, “O Allah! Make us love Medina as we love Mecca or even
more than that. O Allah! Give blessings in our Sa and our Mudd (measures symbolizing food) and
make the climate of Medina suitable for us, and divert its fever towards Aljuhfa.” Aisha added: When
we reached Medina, it was the most unhealthy of Allah’s lands, and the valley of Bathan (the valley
of Medina) used to flow with impure colored water.

The Prophet said, “There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mecca and Med –
ina, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing
in rows guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjal, and among the many things he men –
tioned, was his saying, “Ad-Dajjal will come and it will be forbidden for him to pass through the en –
trances of Medina. He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside) Medina; on that day the
best man or one of the best men will come up to him and say, ‘I testify that you are the same Dajjal
whose description was given to us by Allah’s Apostle .’ Ad-Dajjal will say to the people, ‘If I kill this
man and bring him back to life again, will you doubt my claim?’ They will say, ‘No.’ Then Ad-Dajjal
will kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will say, ‘Now I know your reality better than
before.’ Ad-Dajjal will say, ‘I want to kill him but I cannot.’ “
