Once, a friend went home and explained to his 6 year old son about Dajjal to make him realize the tough times that his generation might face.
Father (in a fearful voice) :
Dajjal can go anywhere but he cannot enter Makkah and Madinah.
Son (speaking confidently) :
Of course Dajjal wouldn’t be able to enter Makkah and Madinah.
Father (curious) :
How come ?!?
Son (calm) :
Because when he would reach the check post, the police would check his residence permit, on which his name “Dajjal” would be written. So, they would immediately arrest him.
These are related hadith from Sahih Al-Bukhari
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (SAW) said, “There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mekkah and Madinah, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mekkah and Madinah) but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him, and then Madinah will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earth-quakes will take place) and Allah (SWT) will expel all the non-believers and the hypocrites from it.”

I also saw Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire and Ad-Dajjal amongst the signs which Allah showed me.” (The Prophet (SAW) then recited the Holy Verse) : “So be not you in doubt of meeting him’ when you met Moses during the night of Mi’raj over the heavens” (32.23)
