The Date Palms of Baisan - and the Destroyer

I think i found another little clue - think for yourselves

(I found it last night when i was on the north korea nuke thread and after writing this article:
Why North Korea wants nuclear weapons
I thought of the strongman and his weapons -
and remembered the four trying to get the silver surfer of his board (the source of his power) - and the prayer mat.



- and remembered the verses - "the fear of the lord is his treasure".

Here's the hadith and scripture as transmitted to this generation (Allah knows best as to accuracy and preservation). Decode and realise that it is telling us to focus on eternity and work with that in mind despite the selfish greedy dajjal's (kaafir evil deceiver's) attempts to convince us that it's all about the present short life:

The words - i am not the destroyer, dajjal will attempt to claim that he's Allah, and the tip "i am what i am" / "i am who i am" become useful tools to bear in mind when dajjal's servants attempt to draw false comparisons with Allah's servants and Donald Trump etc.




Narrated by Fatimah Daughter of Qays & sister of ad-Dahhak Ibn Qays

Amir ibn Sharahil ash-Sha’bi said: Fatimah bint Qays was among the first emigrant women. I asked her to narrate to me a hadith which she had heard directly from Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) and there was no extra link between them. She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that. He said to her: Well, do so and narrate it to me. She said: I married the son of Mughirah and he was a chosen young man of Quraysh at that time, but he fell as a martyr in the first Jihad (fighting on the side of Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him)). When I became a widow, AbdurRahman ibn Awf, one of the group of the companions of Allah’s Apostle. sent me a proposal of marriage. Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) also sent me such a message for his freed slave, Usamah ibn Zayd. It had been conveyed to me that Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) had said (about Usamah): He who loves me should also love Usamah. When Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) talked to me (about this matter), I said: My affairs are in your hands. You may marry me to anyone you wish. He said: You had better move now to the house of Umm Sharik. Umm Sharik was a rich lady from among the Ansar. She spent generously for the cause of Allah and entertained guests very hospitably. I said: Well, I shall do as you wish. He said: Do not do that because Umm Sharik is a woman who is very frequently visited by guests and I do not like your head to be uncovered or removed from your shank and the strangers may catch sight of that which you abhor. You had better move to the house of your cousin, Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Umm Maktum. He was one of the Banu Fihr branch of the Quraysh, and he belonged to that tribe (to which Fatimah) belonged. So I moved to that house, and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque (where) congregational prayer (is observed). So I set out towards the mosque and observed prayer with the Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men.

When Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit, smiling, and said: Every worshipper should remain sitting in his place. He then said: Do you know why I have asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His apostle know best. He said: By Allah, I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning. I have detained you here because Tamim Dari, a Christian who came and accepted Islam, told me something which agrees with what I was telling you about the Dajjal.

He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship with thirty men of Banu Lakhm and Banu Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small rowing-boat and landed on that island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of this) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasah. They said: What is al-Jassasah? It said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil.

Then we hurried on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and iron shackles gripping his legs by the ankles. We said: Woe to you, who are you? He said: You soon come to know about me, but tell me who you are.

We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the waves had been driving us for one month and they brought us near this island. We took to the rowing-boats and landed on this island. Here a beast with profusely thick hair met us and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasah. We said: What is al-Jassasah? It said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil. He (that chained person) said:
Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baysan.
We said: In which respect do you seek information about it?
He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not.
We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: I think these will not bear fruit.
He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyyah?
We said: What do you want to know about it?
He said: Is there water in it?
They said: There is an abundance of water in it.
Thereupon he said: I think it will soon dry up.
He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar.
They said: What do you want to know about it? He (the chained person) said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)?
We said to him: Yes, there is an abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with its help.
He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done?
We said: He has left Mecca and has settled in Yathrib (Medina).
He said: Do the Arabs fight against him?
We said: Yes.
He said: How does he deal with him?
We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him.
Thereupon he said to us: Had it actually happened?
We said: Yes.
Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself. I am the Dajjal and will be soon permitted to leave. So I shall leave and travel in the land, and shall not spare any town where I shall not stay for forty nights except Mecca and Medina: these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I shall not attempt to enter either of them. An angel with a sword in his hand will confront me and bar my way and there will be angels to guard every road leading to it.

Then Allah’s apostle (peace be upon him) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Tayba meaning Medina. Have I not told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this? The people said: Yes, and this account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account which I gave to you in regard to him (Dajjal) at Medina and Mecca. Behold he (Dajjal) is in the Syrian sea (Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea). Nay, on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. I (Fatimah bint Qays) said: I preserved it in my mind (this narration from Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).

Hadith7028 (Sahih Muslim Hadith)




1Woe to you, destroyer,
you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, betrayer,
you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying,
you will be destroyed;
when you stop betraying,
you will be betrayed.
2Lord, be gracious to us;
we long for you.
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in time of distress.
3At the uproar of your army, the peoples flee;
when you rise up, the nations scatter.
4Your plunder, O nations, is harvested as by young locusts;
like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.
5The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;
he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness.
6He will be the sure foundation for your times,
a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.

7Look, their brave men cry aloud in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are deserted,
no travelers are on the roads.
The treaty is broken,
its witnesses are despised,
no one is respected.

9The land dries up and wastes away,
Lebanon is ashamed and withers;
Sharon is like the Arabah,
and Bashan and Carmel drop their leaves.

10“Now will I arise,” says the Lord.
“Now will I be exalted;
now will I be lifted up.
11You conceive chaff,
you give birth to straw;
your breath is a fire that consumes you.
12The peoples will be burned to ashes;
like cut thornbushes they will be set ablaze.”
13You who are far away, hear what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14The sinners in Zion are terrified;
trembling grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?
Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15Those who walk righteously
and speak what is right,
who reject gain from extortion
and keep their hands from accepting bribes,
who stop their ears against plots of murder
and shut their eyes against contemplating evil—
16they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,
whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.
Their bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail them.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty
and view a land that stretches afar.
18In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?”
19You will see those arrogant people no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.
20Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21There the Lord will be our Mighty One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship will sail them.
22For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king;
it is he who will save us.
23Your rigging hangs loose:
The mast is not held secure,
the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
and even the lame will carry off plunder.
24No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”;
and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.

Isaiah 33
