(with which he was busy), he said, “Where is the boy?” Abu Usaid replied, “We have sent him home.”
The Prophet said, “What is his name?” Abu Usaid said, “(His name is) so-and-so. ” The Prophet said,

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah’s Apostle, and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad.
They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad
was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet till Allah’s
Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, “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 unlettered ones
(illiterates)”. Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets . “Do you testify that I am Allah’s Apostle?” The
Prophet denied that, saying, “I believe in Allah and all His Apostles,” and then said to Ibn Saiyad,
“What do you see?” Ibn Saiyad said, “True people and liars visit me.” The Prophet said, “You have been
confused as to this matter.” Allah’s Apostle added, “I have kept something for you (in my mind).” Ibn
Saiyad said, “Ad-Dukh.” The Prophet said, “Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can not cross your
limits.” ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop off h is neck.” Allah’s Apostle said (to Umar).
“Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him; and should he be
someone else, then it will be no use your killing him.” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar added: Later on Allah’s
Apostle and Ubai bin Ka’b Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn Saiyad was
present.
When Allah’s Apostle entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date-palms
intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying
on his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad’s mother saw
the Prophet and said, “O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!” Ibn Saiyad stopped
his murmuring. The Prophet said, “If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about
him.” ‘Abdullah added: Allah’s Apostle stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after
praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, “I warn you against

him, and there has been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his follow –
ers against him but I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his people of,
and that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not so.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 195:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
When the delegation of ‘Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said, “Welcome, O the delegation who
have come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret.” They said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We are
a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabi’a, and between you and us there is the tribe of Mudar and we can –
not come to you except in the sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may order our people who are
behind us (whom we have left behind at home) to follow it.” He said, “Four and four:” offer prayers
perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the
war booty (in Allah’s cause), and do not drink in (containers called) Ad-Duba,’ Al-Hantam, An-Naqir
and Al-Muzaffat.”
