69. THE ARRIVAL OF TAMEEM AD-DARI
The arrival of tameem ad-dari, his encounter with al-jassasah and what he heard from ad-dajjal concerning the advent of the prophet
Al-Baihaqi related on the authority of Fatimah Bint Qais: Tameem Ad-Dari came to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and informed him that he
traveled on the high sea and their ship was tossed by the waves. They were taken to an island and they came out of the ship seeking fresh water. They met a creature with long dragging hair. They asked him: “Who are you?” He said: “I am Jassasah.” They said: “Give us information,” and Jassasah said: “I will not inform you (of anything) but go to this island.” We went in and found a man fettered. He asked: “Who are you?” We replied: “We are men from the Arabs.” He asked further: “What is the news of this Prophet that has emerged from your midst?” We said:
“Peoplehave believed in him, followed him and acknowledged the truth of his message.” The man said: “That is better for them.”
He then asked: “Inform me about the spring of Zughar, what has happened to it?” We informed him and he leaped up so high that we almost exited behind the wall. Then he asked: “Inform me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. Are they bearing fruits or not?” We informed him that it is bearing fruits. Again he leapt up in a similar manner as the first time. Then he said: “I will soon be permitted to go out and I will travel throughout the land excluding Taibah.” Afterward, (when Tameem had narrated the encounter to him) the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, brought him (i.e. Tameem) out and he addressed the people and said: “This is Taibah (Madinah) and that was Dajjal.”
