كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ · نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ (ت ٢٢٨ هـ)
Read with care: this book is ungraded, and hadith scholars judge it weak overall.Details

Read with care: this is one of the oldest books on the end times, but hadith scholars judge most of its reports weak. Many chains are broken and much of it comes from earlier scriptures (Isra'iliyyat). It is here for history and research, not as a basis for belief or practice.

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

دمشق معقل المسلمين من الروم، ومربض ثور فيها أفضل من دار عظيمة بحمص، ومن أراد النجاة من الدجال فنهر أبي فطرس، وإن أردت منزل الخلفاء فعليك بدمشق، وإن أردت الجهد والجهاد فعليك بحمص قال صفوان: وأخبرني أبو الزاهرية، عن كعب قال: معقل المسلمين من الملاحم دمشق، ومن الدجال نهر أبي فطرس، ومن يأجوج ومأجوج الطور

Damascus is the Muslim stronghold of the Romans, and a bull’s paddock there is better than a great house in Homs. And whoever wants to be saved from the Dajjal is the Abu Fatrus River, and if you want the home of the caliphs, then you should go to Damascus, and if you want effort and jihad, then you should go to Homs, the stronghold of the Muslims from the epics, Damascus, and from the Dajjal, there is the Abu Fatros River, and from Gog and Magog, you should go to Damascus.
