Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1851 — The Book of Al-Fitn (Trials and Afflictions etc.) and the Portents of the Hour

`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:

'Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم set out with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Ibn Saiyâd. He found him playing with some boys near the hillocks of Banî Maghâla. Ibn Saiyâd at that time was nearing his puberty. He did not notice (the Prophet's presence) till the Prophet ﷺ stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Ibn Saiyâd! Do you testify that I am Allâh's Messenger?"Ibn Saiyâd looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of the illiterates." Then Ibn Saiyâd asked the Prophet ﷺ, "Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allâh?" The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "I believe in Allâh ﷻ and His Messenger." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to Ibn Saiyâd), "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyâd replied, "True people and false ones visit me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Your mind is confused as to this matter." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I have kept something (in my mind) for you." Ibn Saiyâd said, "It is Ad-Dukh ." [1]The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Shame be on you! You can't cross your limits.?" On that 'Umar said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If he should be he (i.e. Ad-Dajjâl ) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be him, then you are not going to benefit by murdering him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 290 (A), Vol. 4)
