Fatimah bint Qais Narrated from:
Allah's Prophet(s.a.w) ascended the Minbar, he laughed, and said: "Verily, Tamim Ad-Dari Narrated A Story To Me, And It Made Me Happy, So I Wanted To Narrate It To You[What He Narrated To Me]. Some People Among The Inhabitants Of Palestine Traveled By Boat In The Sea, Taking Them Here And There, Until It Cast Them On An Island Among The Islands At Sea.There They Found A Beast, Clothed With Its Hair Flowing Out. They Said: 'What Are You?' It Said: 'I Am Al-Jassasah.' They Said: 'Give Us Some News.' It Said: 'I Shall Not Give You Any News, Nor Do I Want Any Of Your News. But Go To The Furthest Village, For There Is Someone Who Will Give You News And Seek Your News.' So We Went To The Furthest Village, And There Was A Man Fettered With Chains.He Said: 'Inform Me About The Spring Of Zughar.' We Said: ' It Is Full And Flowing.' He Said: 'Inform Me About Al-Buhairah.' We Said, 'It Is Full And Flowing.' He Said: 'Inform Me About The Date Groves Of Baysan Which Is Between Jordan And Palestine, Do They Produce Food?' We Said: 'Yes.'He Said: 'Inform Me About The Prophet, Has He Been Sent?' We Said: 'Yes.' He Said: 'Inform Me How The People Came To Him.' We Said: 'Quickly.' He Leaped Up To Try And Escape.' We Said: 'What Are You?' He Said: 'I Am The Dajjal.'" (The Prophet(S.A.W) Said) "He Will Enter All Of The Lands Except At-Taibah, And At-Taibah Is Al-Madinah."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2253
This hadith about Tamim Ad-Dari and Dajjal reports a story that made the Prophet happy to share. People from Palestine traveled by boat until they reached an island. There they met a hairy beast called Al-Jassasah, who directed them to a man in chains. The man asked about the spring of Zughar, Al-Buhairah, the date groves of Baysan, and whether the Prophet had been sent. When told that people were coming quickly to the Prophet, he tried to move and then said he was the Dajjal. The Prophet then said he would enter all lands except At-Taibah, and At-Taibah is Al-Madinah.
What we learn from this hadith
- Tamim Ad-Dari narrated a story that the Prophet shared from the minbar.
- Al-Jassasah directed the travelers to the chained man.
- The chained man identified himself as Dajjal.
- The hadith states that Dajjal will not enter At-Taibah, meaning Al-Madinah.
