English Translation

Abdullah told us, my father told me, Abu al-Nadr told us, Abd al-Rahman ibn Thabit ibn Thawban told us, from his father, from Makhul, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Malik ibn Yakhamir, from Mu'adh, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The flourishing of Bayt al-Maqdis means the ruin of Yathrib, and the ruin of Yathrib means the outbreak of the great battle, and the outbreak of the great battle means the conquest of Constantinople, and the conquest of Constantinople means the emergence of the Dajjal." Then he struck his hand upon the thigh - or shoulder - of the one narrating from him and said: "This is as true as the fact that you are here" - or "that you are sitting" - meaning Mu'adh.
