حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ سُبَيْعٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ الدَّجَّالَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بِالْمَشْرِقِ يُقَالُ لَهَا خُرَاسَانُ يَتَّبِعُهُ أَقْوَامٌ كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمْ الْمَجَانُّ الْمُطْرَقَةُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 12
It was narrated that Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "The Dajjal will emerge from a land in the east called Khurasan and he will be followed by peoples whose faces are like hammered shields."
