The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us that the Dajjal will emerge from a land in the east called Khurasan, followed by people whose faces resemble hammered shields.
حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي ومحمد بن بشار ومحمد بن المثنى قالوا حدثنا روح بن عبادة حدثنا سعيد بن أبي عروبة عن أبي التياح عن المغيرة بن سبيع عن عمرو بن حريث
حدثنا رسول الله ﷺ أن الدجال يخرج من أرض بالمشرق يقال لها خراسان يتبعه أقوام كأن وجوههم المجان المطرقة
[Hasan] Tirmidhi reported it in the chapter "Where the Dajjal Emerges," no. 2237, from the hadith of Rawh, with this wording, and he said it is hasan, ghareeb. Hakim declared it sahih (4/527), as did Dhahabi.Ibn Abu Aruba was followed by Abdullah bin Shawdhab, as found in Abu Yaala and elsewhere. See Nihayah fil-Fitan wal-Malahim, no. 225, in my edition.
