Hadith on Dajjal: False Messiah enters every country except Mecca and Medina

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No land will be safe from the False Messiah except for Mecca and Medina. No passage leads to them but that it will be guarded by angels arranged in ranks. The False Messiah will appear in a barren place next to Medina, and the city will be shaken three times. Allah will expel from it every unbeliever and hypocrite.”
