-وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏

‏ليس من بلد إلى سيطؤه الدجال، إلا مكة والمدينة، وليس نقب من أنقابها إلا عليه الملائكة صافين تحرسهما، فينزل بالسبخة، فترجف المدينة ثلاث رجفات، يخرج الله منها كل كافر ومنافق‏

English translation

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There will be no land which will not be trampled by Dajjal (the Antichrist) but Makkah and Al-Madinah; and there will be no passage leading to them which will not be guarded by the angels, arranged in rows. Dajjal will appear in a barren place adjacent to Al- Madinah and the city will be shaken three times. Allah will expel from it every disbeliever and hypocrite." [Muslim].
