Adabul Mufrad — Hadith #36421

My father went to Mu'awiyah as a representative. I was young then. When he entered him, he said, Marhaba Marhaba. A person was sitting on the sofa near him. He said, O Ameerul Mu'minin! Welcome to this person whom you call Marhaba Told? He said, he is the leader of the people of the East. This is Haysham Ibnul Aswad (RA). I said, who is this? The people said, This is Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibnul As (RA). I said to him, O father of such and such! Dajjal will appear from where? He said, you are from that area I have never found people of any locality more inquisitive about distant matters, and more neglectful of nearer matters, than the inhabitants of that locality. Then he said, He will emerge from Iraq, rich in plants and palm trees. (Tabarani)
