Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَلَاءَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيه
ِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْكُفْرُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَإِنَّ السَّكِينَةَ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ وَإِنَّ الرِّيَاءَ وَالْفَخْرَ فِي أَهْلِ الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ وَأَهْلِ الْخَيْلِ وَيَأْتِي الْمَسِيحُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَهِمَّتُهُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ دُبُرَ أُحُدٍ تَلَقَّتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَضَرَبَتْ وَجْهَهُ قِبَلَ الشَّامِ هُنَالِكَ يُهْلَكُ هُنَالِكَ يُهْلَكُ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, he said: I heard al-'Ala' narrating from his father, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Faith is Yemeni and disbelief comes from the direction of the East. Tranquility is found among the people of sheep, and ostentation and pride are found among the people of loud-voiced camel herders, the people of camel-hair tents and horses. The Antichrist (al-Masih) will come from the direction of the East, his aim being Madinah, until he comes behind Uhud, where the angels will meet him and turn his face toward Syria. There he will be destroyed, there he will be destroyed."
