[Machine] He ﷺ said, "A Jewish woman from the city gave birth to a baby boy with a squint in his eye and protruding eyes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt pity, fearing that he might be the Dajjal. He went to find him and found him under a palm tree playing, and his mother called him and said, 'O Abdullah, this is Abu Al-Qasim who has come, so go out to him.' He went out of the palm tree, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'What is wrong with her? May Allah have mercy on her! If she had left him, it would have been clear.' Then he asked, 'O son of a hunter, what do you see?' He replied, 'I see truth and falsehood, and I see a throne on water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He has been tested.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I believe in Allah and His Messengers,' and he let him go. Then he came to him a second or third time, and with him were Abu Bakr and Umar bin Al-Khattab, among a group of Muhajireen and Ansar, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurried ahead of us, hoping to hear something from his speech and know whether he was the Dajjal or not. But his mother got ahead of us and said, 'O Abdullah, this is Abu Al-Qasim who has come.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What is wrong with her? May Allah have mercy on her! If she had left him, it would have been clear.' Then he asked, 'O son of a hunter, what do you see?' He replied, 'I see truth and falsehood, and I see a throne on water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I believe in Allah and His Messengers,' and he let him go. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'O son of a hunter, we have hidden something for you, so what is it?' He replied, 'Ad-Dukh, Ad-Dukh.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Go away, go away.' Umar bin Al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, give me permission to kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If he is he (the Dajjal), you are not his companion, for his companion will be 'Isa ibn Maryam. If he is not he (the Dajjal), then it is not permissible for you to kill a man from the people of the covenant.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained anxious, fearing that he might be the Dajjal.

bukhari:6173 – Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab set out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 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 ﷺ till Allah's Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" 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 ﷺ said, "You have been confused as to this matter." Messenger of Allah ﷺ added, "I have kept something for you (in my mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can not cross your limits." ʿUmar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allow me to chop off h is neck." Allah's Apostle said (to ʿUmar). "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." ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar added: Later on Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Ubai bin Kaʿb Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn Saiyad was present. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about him." ʿAbdullah added: Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 followers 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."
