He will have two valleys: one is Paradise and the other is fire; (what would seem to be) fire will be Paradise and (what would seem to be) Paradise will be fire. He wiil be accompanied by two angels who look like two prophets. I could name them and their parents by their names: one of them will be to his right and the other to his left hand. This is his affliction. Ad-Dajjal will say: Am I not your Lord? Can I not give life and death? One angel will say: You are a liar. None will hear him except his friend who replies: You speak the truth. When people hear him, they will assume that he believes Ad-Daijjal and this is an affliction. He will march to Madinah, which he will be forbidden to enter. He will say: This is that man's valley. He will proceed to ash-Sham (Syria) where Allah will ruin him at the mountain gateway of Afeeq".

8Hadith of A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her

Imam Ahmed narrated, on the authority of A'isha, who said: The Messenger of Allah ## entered while I was weeping and said: "What is it that make you weep?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I remembered Ad-Daijjal. Allah's Apostle replied: "If he appears in my lifetime I shall suffice you. If he appears after my death, be sure that your Lord is not one-eyed; he will come out of Asbahan's Jews until he reaches Madinah. He will encamp at a place close to it. At that time Madinah will have seven gates and there will be two angels at each gate (guarding it). Evil people will go out of it towards him. He will proceed to ash-Sham, a city in Palestine, at Ludd gate. Jesus, son of Mary, will then descend to kill him and stay on earth for forty years as a just Imam and fair ruler.”
