کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Damascus is the Muslim stronghold of the Romans, and a bull’s paddock there is better than a great house in Homs. And whoever wants to be saved from the Dajjal is the Abu Fatrus River, and if you want the home of the caliphs, then you should go to Damascus, and if you want effort and jihad, then you should go to Homs, the stronghold of the Muslims from the epics, Damascus, and from the Dajjal, there is the Abu Fatros River, and from Gog and Magog, you should go to Damascus.

Abu Ayyub told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Abu Amir, he told him on the authority of Tabi’, he said: “When Jesus, son of Mary, kills the Dajjal, Allah Almighty will inspire him to go you and the believers with you to Al-Tur, for my servants have gone out and no one can stand them except me, and the believers on that day will be twelve thousand except the offspring and the women, and Gog and Magog will come out and they will descend from every direction. They will not pass over water without draining it, and water on that day will be A few have ventured at the exit of the Dajjal until they end at Lake Tiberias, and the last of them says: There was once water here. Then they approach each other and say: How long, since we have defeated the people of the earth? Come, let us fight the people of heaven. They shoot their arrows at the sky, and their arrows come back drenched in blood, and Allah sends upon them a disease called myiasis, which takes hold of their necks and Allah destroys them, until the ground stinks from their corpses until their harm reaches the believers. Where they are, the believers come to Jesus and say: Indeed, we find a wind for which we have no patience, and for which we have no energy. So Jesus calls on his Lord and the believers, and Allah sends upon them birds of prey, which carry them until they throw them on a mission from the earth, until they become like shells of their blood and fat. The people spend years gathering wood from their weapons, then they stay for seven years, then Allah sends a wind to take the souls of the believers.
