[Machine] We joined a group in the city before this eastern direction. In this group was Abdullah bin Sayyad, who was not accompanied, followed, fed or served by anyone. They used to call him the Dajjal (antichrist). One day, while I was descending in a house, Abdullah bin Sayyad saw me sitting and he came and sat next to me. He said, "O Abu Sa'eed, don't you see what these people are doing to me? No one accompanies, follows, feeds or serves me, and they call me the Dajjal. You know, Abu Sa'eed, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The Dajjal will never enter Medina, and I was born in Medina. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The Dajjal will never have children, and yet I was born to parents.' By Allah, I have thought about taking a rope, escaping, and hanging myself to be free from these people. I swear by Allah, I am not the Dajjal, but if you want, I can tell you his name, his father's name, his mother's name, and the name of the city he will emerge from."
