Musnad Ahmad 799:101

Abu Kamil narrated to us, Zuhayr narrated to us, al-Aswad ibn Qays narrated to us, Tha‘labah ibn ‘Abbad al-‘Abdi, from the people of Basra, said: I witnessed a sermon one day by Samurah ibn Jundub, and he mentioned in his sermon a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). He said: "While I and a boy from the Ansar were shooting at two targets of ours during the time of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), until the sun was the length of two or three spears in the eye of the observer, it turned black until it became like a *tanumah* (a dark, dense plant)." He said: "One of us said to his companion: 'Let us go to the mosque, for by Allah, the affair of this sun will surely cause an event for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) regarding his nation.' So we headed to the mosque, and it was bustling. We met the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) when he came out to the people. He stepped forward and stood with us for the longest time he had ever stood with us in a prayer; we did not hear a sound from him. Then he bowed for the longest time he had ever bowed with us in a prayer; we did not hear a sound from him. Then he prostrated with us for the longest time he had ever prostrated with us in a prayer; we did not hear a sound from him. Then he did the same in the second rak‘ah." "The clearing of the sun coincided with his sitting in the second rak‘ah." Zuhayr said: "I think he said: 'Then he gave the salutation, praised Allah, extolled Him, and testified that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then he said: "O people, I adjure you by Allah, if you know that I have fallen short in anything of conveying the messages of my Lord, then inform me of that, for I have conveyed the messages of my Lord as they ought to be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, then inform me of that."'" He said: "Men stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord, advised your nation, and fulfilled what was upon you.' Then they fell silent. Then he said: 'As for what follows: Some men claim that the eclipse of this sun, the eclipse of this moon, and the departure of these stars from their positions are due to the death of great men from the people of the earth. They have lied. Rather, they are signs from the signs of Allah by which He warns His servants, so He looks at who among them will repent. By Allah, I have seen since I stood to pray what you will encounter in the matter of your worldly life and your Hereafter. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars emerge, the last of them being the one-eyed Dajjal, whose left eye is wiped away as if it were the eye of Abu Yahya—referring to an old man from the Ansar at that time, between him and the chamber of ‘Aisha.'" "And whenever he emerges—or he said: whenever he emerges—he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, deems him truthful, and follows him, no righteous deed he previously performed will benefit him. And whoever disbelieves in him and deems him a liar will not be punished for any of his deeds." (Hasan al-Ashyab said: "For any evil deed he previously performed.") "He will prevail—or he said: he will prevail—over the entire earth, except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). He will besiege the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, and they will be shaken with a severe shaking. Then Allah will destroy him and his soldiers, to the extent that the base of a wall—or he said: the root of a wall—(Hasan al-Ashyab said: and the root of a tree)—will call out, or he said: will say: 'O believer—or he said: O Muslim—this is a Jew—or he said: this is a disbeliever—come and kill him.'" He said: "And that will not be so until you see matters whose affair becomes grave within yourselves, and you ask one another: 'Did your Prophet mention any mention of them to you?' And until mountains move from their places, then after that, the seizing (of souls)." He said: "Then I witnessed a sermon by Samurah in which he mentioned this hadith, and he did not put a word forward nor delay it from its place."
