He said, 'Amir al-Mu'minin, whois this you are welcoming?' He said, 'This is the master of the peopleof the east. This is al-Haytham ibn al-Aswad.' I asked, 'Who is this?'They replied, 'This is 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As.' I said to him, 'Abuso-and-so. From where will the Dajjal emerge?' He said, 'I have not seenthe people of a town who asked about what is far nor left what is near.You are from the people of a town.' Then he said, 'He will emerge fromthe land of Iraq with the trees and palm trees.'" (FR)
