[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) was asked about the Antichrist more than I've been asked, so he said, "What will you do? He will not harm you." I said, "Should I not kill the son of a hunter?" He said, "What will you gain by killing him? If he is the Antichrist, you won't be able to kill him, and if he is not the Antichrist, what will you gain by killing him?"  

الطبراني:١٨١٤٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا جُمْهُورُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ بَيَانٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ

مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ لَيْسَ بِضَارِّكَ» قُلْتُ أَلَا أَقْتُلُ ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ؟ قَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُ بِقَتْلِهِ؟ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الدَّجَّالُ فَلَنْ تَخْلُصَ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الدَّجَّالَ فَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ؟»
