[7354] 95 – (2930) It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar that 'Umar bin AkKhattâb accompanied the Messenger of Allah and a group of men to Ibn Sayyâd. He found him playing with some boys by the battlement of Banü Maghalah. At that time Ibn Sayyâd was approaching puberty. He did not notice anything until the Messenger of Allah tapped him on the back with his hand. Then the Messenger of Allah said to Tribulations & Portents Of The Hour 324 âJ Ibn Sayyad: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" Ibn Sayyâd looked at him and said: "I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the unlettered." Then Ibn Sayyád said to the Messenger of Allah : "Do you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah gave up on him and said: "I believe in Allah and in His Messengers." Then the Messenger of Allah said to him: "What do you see?" Ibn Sayyâd said: "A truth-teller and a liar come to me." The Messenger of Allah said: "You have been confounded." Then the Messenger of Allah ii said to him: "I am hiding something in my mind for you." Ibn $ayyâd said: "It is Ad-Dukh." The Messenger of Allah said: "May you be disgraced and dishonored, you will never go beyond your rank." 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb said: "0 Messenger of Allah, let me strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah said: "If he is him (meaning the Dajjâl), you will never be able to overpower him, and if he is not him, there is no good for you in killing him."
