him playing with the boys near the hillocks of Bani Mughala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his

testify that I am Allah’s Apostle?” Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, “I testify that you are the Mes –
senger of illiterates.” Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h), “Do you testify that I am Allah’s
Apostle?” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) refuted it and said, “I believe in Allah and His Apostles.” Then he said
(to Ibn Saiyad), “What do you think?” Ibn Saiyad answered, “True people and liars visit me.” The
Prophet said, “You have been confused as to this matter.” Then the Prophet said to him, “I have kept
something (in my mind) for you, (can you tell me that?)” Ibn Saiyad said, “It is Al-Dukh (the smoke).”

Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “If he is he (i.e. Dajjal),
then you cannot over-power him, and if he is not, then there is no use of murdering him.” (Ibn
‘Umar added): Later on Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) once again went along with Ubai bin Ka’b to the
date-palm trees (garden) where Ibn Saiyad was staying. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) wanted to hear some –

covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad’s mother saw Allah’s
Apostle while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palm trees. She addressed Ibn
Saiyad, “O Saf ! (and this was the name of Ibn Saiyad) Here is Muhammad.” And with that Ibn Saiyad
got up. The Prophet said, “Had this woman left him (Had she not disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad
would have revealed the reality of his case.

over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of
hairs coming under his hand.” (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked,
