'Abdullah reported: We were along with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) that we happened to pass by children amongst whom there was Ibn Sayyad. The children made their way but Ibn Sayyad kept sitting there (and it seemed) as if Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) did not like it (his sitting with the children) and said to him: May your nose he besmeared with dust, don't you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allaah? Thereupon he said: No, but you should bear testimony that I am the messenger of Allaah. Thereupon 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allaah's Messenger, permit me that I should kill him. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If he is that person who is in your mind (Dajjal ), you will not be able to kill him.

'Abdullah b. Umar reported: 'Umar b. Khattab went along with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) in the company of some persons toIbn Sayyad that he found him playing with children near the bettlement of Bani Maghala and Ibn Sayyad was at that time just at the threshold of adolescence and he did not perceive (the presence of Prophet) until Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) struck his back with his hands. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Ibn Sayyad, don't you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allaah? Ibn Sayyad looked toward him and he said: I bear witness to the fact that you the messenger of the unlettered. Ibn Sayyad said to the Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam): Do you bear witness to the fact that I am the messenger of Allaah? Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) rejected this and said: I affirm my faith in Allaah and in His messengers. Then Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: What do you see? Ibn Sayyad said: It us a Dukh. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: May you be disgraced and dishonoured, you would not not be able to go beyond your rank. 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allaah's Messenger, permit me that I should strike his neck. Therupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If he is the same (Dajjal) who would appear near the Last Hour, you would not be able to overpower him, and he is not that ther is no good for you to kill him. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar further narrated that after some time Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and Ubayy b. Ka'b went towards the palm trees where Ibn Sayyad was. When Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) went near the tree he hid himself behind a tree with the intention of hearing something from Ibn sayyad before Ibn Sayyad could see him, but Allaah's Messenger (may pcxce be upon him) saw him on a bed with a blanket around him from which a murmuring sound was being heard and Ibn Sayyad's mother saw Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) behind the trunk of the palm tree. She said to Ibn Sayyad: Saf (that being his name), here is Muhammad. Thereupon Ibn Sayyad jumped up murmuring and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If she had left him alone he would have made things clear. Abdullah b. Umar told that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) stood up amongst the people and lauded Allaah as He deserved, then he made a mention of the Dajjal and said: I warn you of him and there is no Prophet who has not warned his people against the Dajjal. Even Noah warned (against him) but I am going to tell you a thing which no Prophet told his people. You must know that he (the Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allaah, the Exalted and Glorious, is not one-eyed. Ibn Shihab said: 'Umar b. Thabit al-Ansari informed me that some of the Companions of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) informed him that the day when Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) warned people against the Dajjal, he also said: There would be written between his two eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel) and everyone who would resent his deeds would be able to read or every Muslim would be about to read, and he also said: Bear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allaah, the Exalted and Glorious, until he dies.

Ibn 'Umar went to Hafsa and informed her about this.

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar said: I met lbn Sayyad twice and said to some of them (his friends): You state that it was he (the Dajjal). He said: By Allaah, it is not so. I said: You have not told me the truth; by Allaah some of you informed me that he would not die until he would have the largest number of offspring and huge wealth and it is he about whom it is thought so. Then Ibn Sayyad talked to us. I then departed and met him again for the second time and his eye had been swollen. I said: What has happened to your eye? He said: I do not know. I said: This is in your head and you do not know about it? He said: If Allaah so wills He can create it (eye) in your staff. He then produced a sound like the braying of a donkey. Some of my companions thought that I had struck him with the staff as he was with me that the staff broke into pieces, but, by Allaah, I was not conscious of it. He then came to the Mother of the Faithful (Hafsa) and narrated it to her and she said: What concern you have with him? Don't you know that Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said that the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger?
