‘Abd Allāh ibn Mu‘āwiyah al-Jumaḥī narrated to us; Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Khālid al-Ḥadhdhā’, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Shaqīq, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Surāqah, from Abū ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: “Every prophet after Noah warned his people about the Dajjāl, and I am warning you about him.” The Messenger of Allah described him to us and said: “Perhaps some of those who have seen me or heard my words will live to encounter him.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, what will our hearts be like on that day?” He said, “Like they are today”—meaning, as they are now—“or better.”

Abū ‘Īsā said: Reports on this topic are also related from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Busr, ‘Abd Allāh ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Jaz’, ‘Abd Allāh ibn Mughaffal, and Abū Hurayrah. This is a ḥasan gharīb hadith from Abū ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ; we know it only through Khālid al-Ḥadhdhā’, though Shu‘bah also narrated it from Khālid. Abū ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ’s name was ‘Āmir ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn al-Jarrāḥ.
