Ist Moharram 333: Imam Al Qaim (S.A.) sent his army under the leadership of Bushra Al Khadim to Bojou (Tunis) to fight Dajjal Abu Yazeed. As this news reached Dajjal, he marched towards Bojou from Tunis followed by a large army of Berbers. Dajjal mercilessly killed men and children, imprisoned and raped women, and snatched their possessions on his way to Bojou.

A fierce battle took place in Bojou between Dajjal and Bushra's army. Dajjal's army was facing defeat. At that time, Dajjal was standing aside with 400 cavalry and 400 infantry with open swords. On seeing his army facing defeat, he stepped down from his horse, mounted a donkey and questioned: "Is this the action of a defeated man?"

But then Dajjal's army gained advantage. Several of Bushra's soldiers were killed or wounded, several others fled, but Bushra managed to escape with a small battalion.
