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
earth-quakes will take place) and Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it.”
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 106:
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.’ “

A bedouin came to the Prophet and gave a pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam. The next day
he came with fever and said (to the Prophet ), “Please cancel my pledge (of embracing Islam and of
emigrating to Medina).” The Prophet refused (that request) three times and said, “Medina is like a
furnace, it expels out the impurities (bad persons) and selects the good ones and makes them per –
fect.”
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 92:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and said, “O Bani Najjar! Suggest to
me the price (of your land).” They said, “We do not want its price except from Allah” (i.e. they wished
for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet ordered the graves of the pa –
gans to be dug out and the land to be levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut date-
palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.
