back with his hand and said, “Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah’s Apostle?” Ibn Saiyad looked
at him and said, “I testify that you are the Apostle of the illiterates.”
Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet. “Do you testify that I am the apostle of Allah?” The Prophet said
to him, “I believe in Allah and His Apostles.” Then the Prophet said (to Ibn Saiyad). “What do you see?”
Ibn Saiyad replied, “True people and false ones visit me.” The Prophet said, “Your mind is confused as
to this matter.” The Prophet added, ” I have kept something (in my mind) for you.” Ibn Saiyad said, “It
is Ad-Dukh.” The Prophet said (to him), “Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits.” On that
‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.” The Prophet said, “If he should be him
(i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be him, then you are not going to
benefit by murdering him.”

(Later on) Allah’s Apostle (once again) went along with Ubai bin Ka’b to the garden of date-palms
where Ibn Saiyad was staying. When the Prophet entered the garden, he started hiding himself be –
hind the trunks of the date-palms as he wanted to hear something from the Ibn Saiyad before the
latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was lying in his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his
murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad’s mother saw the Prophet while he was hiding himself behind the
trunks of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, “O Saf!” (And this was his name). Ibn Saiyad got
up. The Prophet said, “Had this woman let him to himself, he would have revealed the reality of his
case.” Then the Prophet got up amongst the people, glorifying Allah as He deserves, he mentioned
Ad-Dajjal, saying, “I warn you about him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) and there is no prophet who did not warn
his nation about him, and Noah warned his nation about him, but I tell you a statement which no
prophet informed his nation of. You should understand that he is a one-eyed man and Allah is not
one-eyed.”
