"On the authority of Ibn 'A'idh al-Hadrami, who said: 'Isa ibn Maryam will descend at the minaret by the eastern gate, then he will come to the mosque of Damascus and sit upon the pulpit. The Muslims will enter the mosque, and the Christians and Jews will all hope for him, so that if you threw something it would not fall except on a person's head because of the crowd. The muezzin of the Muslims will come and stand, and the one with the horn of the Jews will come, and the one with the bell of the Christians will come. The one with the horn of the Jews will say: Draw lots. So the portions of the Muslims, the Christians and the Jews are written. Then 'Isa draws lots, and the portion of the Muslims comes out. The one of the Jews says: The drawing is three times. He draws, and the portion of the Muslims comes out. Then he draws a third time, and the portion of the Muslims comes out. Then the muezzin calls, and the Jews and Christians leave the mosque. Then he goes out following the Dajjal with those with him from the people of Damascus. Then he comes to Bayt al-Maqdis, which is closed, having been besieged by the Dajjal. He orders the gates opened, and he follows him until he overtakes him at the gate of Lud, and he melts as wax melts. 'Isa says: I have a blow for you, and he strikes him and Allah kills him by his hands. He remains among the Muslims for thirty or forty years, Allah knows which of the two numbers. Then Ya'juj and Ma'juj come out after him, and Allah destroys Ya'juj and Ma'juj by his hands. No spring of theirs remains that is not drunk dry, and the blessing of the earth is returned, so that a band of people gathering around a cluster of grapes or a pomegranate will be satisfied. Every venomous creature will have its venom removed, so that a snake will be with a child, or a lion or a cow, without harming him at all. Then Allah sends a good wind that takes the soul of every believer, and the worst of people remains, upon whom the Hour will come."
