CHAPTER: STORY OF IBN SAYYAD

'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.

Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Be off. You cannot get farther than your rank, whereupon 'Umar said: Allaah's Messenger, permit me to strike his neck.

Whereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: You see the throne of Iblis upon the water, and what else do you see?

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported: Ibn Sa'id said to me somethhing for which I felt ashamed. He said: I can excuse others; but what has gone wrong with you, O Companions of Muhammad, that you take me as Dajjal? Has Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) not said that he would be a Jew whereas I am a Muslim and he also said that he would not have children, whereas I have children, and he also said: veryly, Allaah has prohibited him to enter Mecca whereas I have performed Pilgrimage, atid. he went on saying this that I was about to be impressed by his tallk. He (however) said this also: I know where he (Dajjal) is and I know his father abd I mother, and it was said to him: Won't you feel pleased if you would be the same person?

He brought his goods and placed them by my luggage and I said: It is intense heat. Would you not place that under that tree? And he did that. Then ther appeared before us a flock of sheep. He went and brought a cup of milk and said: Abu Sa'id, drink that. I said it is intense heat and the milk is also hot (whereas the fact was) that I did not like to drink from his hands or to opr to take it from his hand and he said: Abu Sa'id, I think that I should take a rope and suspend it by the tree and then coimmit sucide because of the talks of the people, and he furtlier said. Abu Sa'id he who is ingnoran of the saying of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) (he is to be pardoned), but O people of Ansar, is this hadith of Allaah's Messengern (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) concealed from you whereas you have the best konowledge of t this hadith of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) amongst people? Did Allalt's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) not say that he (Dajjal) would be a non believer whereas I am a believer? did Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) not say he would be barren and no child would be born to hirn, whereas I have left my children in Medina? Did Allh's Messenger (may peace upon him) not say: He would not get into Medina and Mecca whereas I have been coming from Medina and now I intend to go to Mecca?

'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.

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar met Ibn Si'id on some of the paths of Medina and he said to him a word which enraged him and he was so much swollen with anger that the way was blocked. Ibn 'Umar went to Hafsa and informed her about this. Thereupon she said: May Allaah have mercy upon you, why did you incite Ibn Sayyad in spite of the fact that you knew it would be the extreme anger which would make Dajjal appear in the world?

No. 7004

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?
