حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ رُعْبُ الْمَسِيحِ، لَهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ باب مَلَكَانِ ". قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْبَصْرَةَ فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 7126
This hadith about angels guarding Medina repeats the meaning that the terror of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal will not enter Medina. It states that Medina will have seven gates at that time, and two angels will be placed at every gate. The translation says “as above,” and the Arabic text carries the same meaning as the previous report. The focus is the protection of Medina from Dajjal’s terror, not a long description of Dajjal himself. For readers searching for Dajjal and Medina hadith, this narration strengthens the same point through another chain: Medina is described as guarded, and the gates are watched by angels.
What we learn from this hadith
- The terror of Al-Masih will not enter Medina.
- Seven gates are mentioned for Medina at that time.
- Two angels are placed at each gate in the report.
- Repeated narrations can confirm the same core meaning.
