Sahih Muslim, 7356

Rapporté par ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه : Omar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه accompagna le Messager d’Allah ﷺ avec quelques personnes jusqu’à ce qu’ils trouvent Ibn Sayyad en train de jouer avec des enfants près de la forteresse de Bani Maghala. Ibn Sayyad était alors à l’aube de l’adolescence et il n’a pas remarqué la présence du Prophète jusqu’à ce que le Messager d’Allah ﷺ lui tape dans le dos. Le Prophète ﷺ lui dit : « Ibn Sayyad, ne témoignes-tu pas que je suis le Messager d’Allah ? » Ibn Sayyad le regarda et répondit : « Je témoigne que tu es le messager des illettrés. » Ibn Sayyad demanda au Messager d’Allah ﷺ : « Et toi, témoignes-tu que je suis le messager d’Allah ? » Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ refusa et répondit : « Je crois en Allah et en Ses messagers. » Puis il lui demanda : « Que vois-tu ? » Ibn Sayyad répondit : « C’est un Dukh. » Le Prophète ﷺ lui dit : « Puisse-tu être humilié, tu ne pourras pas dépasser ton rang. » Omar رضي الله عنه dit alors : « Ô Messager d’Allah, permets-moi de lui trancher la gorge. » Le Prophète ﷺ répondit : « S’il est celui (le Dajjal) qui apparaîtra à la fin des temps, tu ne pourras pas le vaincre, et s’il ne l’est pas, il n’y a aucun bien à le tuer. » ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه raconta aussi qu’un jour, le Messager d’Allah ﷺ et Ubayy ibn Ka’b رضي الله عنه allèrent vers les palmiers où se trouvait Ibn Sayyad. Quand le Prophète ﷺ s’approcha, il se cacha derrière un arbre pour entendre ce que disait Ibn Sayyad avant qu’il ne le voie, mais le Prophète ﷺ l’entendit allongé sur un lit, couvert d’une couverture, d’où sortait un murmure. La mère d’Ibn Sayyad vit le Prophète ﷺ derrière le tronc du palmier et dit à Ibn Sayyad : « Saf (c’était son nom), voici Muhammad. » Ibn Sayyad se leva alors en murmurant et le Prophète ﷺ dit : « Si elle l’avait laissé, il aurait révélé la vérité. » ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه raconta aussi que le Prophète ﷺ se leva devant les gens, loua Allah comme il se doit, puis parla du Dajjal et dit : « Je vous mets en garde contre lui, et il n’y a pas de Prophète qui n’ait pas mis en garde sa communauté contre le Dajjal. Même Noé a mis en garde contre lui, mais je vais vous dire une chose qu’aucun Prophète n’a dite à sa communauté : sachez qu’il (le Dajjal) est borgne et qu’Allah, le Très-Haut et Glorieux, n’est pas borgne. » Ibn Shihab a dit : Omar ibn Thabit al-Ansari m’a informé que certains compagnons du Prophète ﷺ lui ont dit que le jour où le Prophète ﷺ a mis en garde contre le Dajjal, il a aussi dit : « Il sera écrit entre ses deux yeux le mot “Kafir” (mécréant) et toute personne qui détestera ses actes pourra le lire, ou tout musulman sera capable de le lire. » Il a aussi dit : « Sachez qu’aucun d’entre vous ne verra Allah, le Très-Haut et Glorieux, avant de mourir. »

Abdullah b. Umar reported:'Umar b. Khattab went along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the company of some persons to Ibn Sayyad that he found him playing with children near the battlement of Bani Maghala and Ibn Sayyad was at that time just at the threshold of adolescence and he did not perceive (the presence of Holy Prophet) until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) struck his back with his hands. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Ibn Sayyad, don't you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked toward him and he said: I bear witness to the fact that you the messenger of the unlettered. Ibn Sayyad said to the Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): Do you bear witness to the fact that I am the messenger of Allah? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rejected this and said: I affirm my faith in Allah and in His messengers. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: What do you see? Ibn Sayyad said: It is a Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: May you be disgraced and dishonoured, you would not not be able to go beyond your rank. 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allah's Messenger, permit me that I should strike his neck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he is the same (Dajjal) who would appear near the Last Hour, you would not be able to overpower him, and if he is not that there is no good for you to kill him. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar further narrated that after some time Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubayy b. Ka'b went towards the palm trees where Ibn Sayyad was. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went near the tree he hid himself behind a tree with the intention of hearing something from Ibn sayyad before Ibn Sayyad could see him, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him on a bed with a blanket around him from which a murmuring sound was being heard and Ibn Sayyad's mother saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) behind the trunk of the palm tree. She said to Ibn Sayyad: Saf (that being his name), here is Muhammad. Thereupon Ibn Sayyad jumped up murmuring and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If she had left him alone he would have made things clear. Abdullah b. Umar told that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up amongst the people and lauded Allah as He deserved, then he made a mention of the Dajjal and said: I warn you of him and there is no Prophet who has not warned his people against the Dajjal. Even Noah warned (against him) but I am going to tell you a thing which no Prophet told his people. You must know that he (the Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, is not one-eyed. Ibn Shihab said: 'Umar b. Thabit al-Ansari informed me that some of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) informed him that the day when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) warned people against the Dajjal, he also said: There would be written between his two eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel) and everyone who would resent his deeds would be able to read or every Muslim would be about to read, and he also said: Bear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, until he dies
