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 183:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
A man praised another man in front of the Prophet. The Prophet said thrice, “Wailaka (Woe on
you) ! You have cut the neck of your brother!” The Prophet added, “If it is indispensable for anyone of
you to praise a person, then he should say, “I think that such-and-such person (is so-and-so), and
Allah is the one who will take his accounts (as he knows his reality) and none can sanctify anybody
before Allah (and that only if he knows well about that person.)”.

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 184:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the
tribe of Bani Tamim, said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Act justly.” The Prophets said, “Woe to you! Who else
would act justly if I did not act justly?” ‘Umar said (to the Prophet ), “Allow me to chop his neck off.”
The Prophet said, “No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly
his fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through
the victim’s body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and
if its Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will
be seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over
it. Such people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by
which they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of
a woman or a lump of flesh moving loosely.” Abu Said added, “I testify that I heard that from the
Prophet and also testify that I was with ‘Ali when ‘Ali fought against those people. The man described
by the Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet
had described him.” (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)
