Sahih Muslim — Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour

Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) I said:There would be amongst your caliphs a caliph who would give handfuls of wealth to the people, but would not count it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Ibn Hujr, there is a slight variation of wording

حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي، حدثنا بشر يعني ابن المفضل، ح وحدثنا علي، بن حجر السعدي حدثنا اسماعيل، - يعني ابن علية - كلاهما عن سعيد بن يزيد، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من خلفايكم خليفة يحثو المال حثيا لا يعده عددا " . وفي رواية ابن حجر " يحثي المال

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters

Abdullah reported:We were along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that we happened to pass by children amongst whom there was Ibn Sayyad. The children made their way but Ibn Sayyad kept sitting there (and it seemed) as if Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not like it (his sitting with the children) and said to him: May your nose he besmeared with dust, don't you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allah? Thereupon he said: No, but you should bear testimony that I am the messenger of Allah. Thereupon 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allah's Messenger, permit me that I should kill him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he is that person who is in your mind (Dajjal ), you will not be able to kill him

Abdullah reported:We were walking with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: I have concealed for you (something to test you, so tell me that). He said: It is Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Be off.

Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met him (Ibn Sayyad) and so did Abu Bakr and 'Umar on some of the roads of Medina. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allah? Thereupon he said: Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the messenger of Allah? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I affirm my faith in Allah and in His Angels and in His Books, and what do you see? He said: I see the throne over water. Whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: You see the throne of Iblis upon the water, and what else do you see? He said: I see two truthfuls and a liar or two liars and one truthful. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Leave him He has been confounded

Jabir b 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met Ibn Sa'id (Sayyad) and there were with him Abu Bakr and 'Umar and Ibn Sayyad was in the company of children. The rest of the hadith is the same

حدثنا يحيى بن حبيب، ومحمد بن عبد الاعلى، قالا حدثنا معتمر، قال سمعت ابي قال، حدثنا ابو نضرة، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال لقي نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ابن صايد ومعه ابو بكر وعمر وابن صايد مع الغلمان . فذكر نحو حديث الجريري

Abu Sa'id reported:I accompanied Ibn Sayyad to Mecca and he said to me: What I have gathered from people is that they think that I am Dajjal. Have you not heard Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) as saying: He will have no children, I said: Yes, of course. Thereupon he said: But I have children. Have you not heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He would not enter Mecca and Medina? I said: Yes, of course. Thereupon he said I have been once in Medina and now I intend to go to Mecca. And he said to me at the end of his talk: By Allah, I know his place of birth his abode where he is just now. He (Abu Sa'id) said: This caused confusion in my mind (in regard to his identity)

حدثني عبيد الله بن عمر القواريري، ومحمد بن المثنى، قالا حدثنا عبد الاعلى، حدثنا داود، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال صحبت ابن صايد الى مكة فقال لي اما قد لقيت من الناس يزعمون اني الدجال الست سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " انه لا يولد له " . قال قلت بلى . قال فقد ولد لي . اوليس سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " لا يدخل المدينة ولا مكة " . قلت بلى . قال فقد ولدت بالمدينة وهذا انا اريد مكة - قال - ثم قال لي في اخر قوله اما والله اني لاعلم مولده ومكانه واين هو . قال فلبسني

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported:Ibn Sa'id said to me something for which I felt ashamed. He said: I can excuse others; but what has gone wrong with you, O Companions of Muhammad, that you take me as Dajjal? Has Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) not said that he would be a Jew whereas I am a Muslim and he also said that he would not have children, whereas I have children, and he also said: verily, Allah has prohibited him to enter Mecca whereas I have performed Pilgrimage, and he went on saying this that I was about to be impressed by his talk. He (however) said this also: I know where he (Dajjal) is and I know his father and mother, and it was said to him: Won't you feel pleased if you would be the same person? Thereupon he said: If this offer is made to me, I would not resent that

حدثنا يحيى بن حبيب، ومحمد بن عبد الاعلى، قالا حدثنا معتمر، قال سمعت ابي يحدث، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال قال لي ابن صايد واخذتني منه ذمامة هذا عذرت الناس ما لي ولكم يا اصحاب محمد الم يقل نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انه يهودي " . وقد اسلمت . قال " ولا يولد له " . وقد ولد لي . وقال " ان الله قد حرم عليه مكة " . وقد حججت . قال فما زال حتى كاد ان ياخذ في قوله . قال فقال له اما والله اني لاعلم الان حيث هو واعرف اباه وامه . قال وقيل له ايسرك انك ذاك الرجل قال فقال لو عرض على ما كرهت

Abu Sa`id al-Khudri reported:We came back after having performed Pilgrimage or `Umra and lbn Sa'id was along with us. And we encamped at a place and the people dispersed and I and he were left behind. I felt terribly frightend from him as it was said about him that he was the Dajjal. He brought his goods and placed them by my luggage and I said: It is intense heat. Would you not place that under that tree? And he did that. Then there appeared before us a flock of sheep. He went and brought a cup of milk and said: Abu Sa`id, drink that. I said it is intense heat and the milk is also hot (whereas the fact was) that I did not like to drink from his hands or to take it from his hand and he said: Abu Sa`id, I think that I should take a rope and suspend it by the tree and then commit suicide because of the talks of the people, and he further said. Abu Sa`id he who is ignorant of the saying of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (he is to be pardoned), but O people of Ansar, is this hadith of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) concealed from you whereas you have the best knowledge of the hadith of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) amongst people? Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) not say that he (Dajjal) would be a non believer whereas I am a believer? Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) not say he would be barren and no child would be born to him, whereas I have left my children in Medina? Did Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) not say: He would not get into Medina and Mecca whereas I have been coming from Medina and now I intend to go to Mecca? Abu Sa`id said: I was about to accept the excuse put forward by him. Then he said: I know the place where he would be born and where he is now. So I said to him: May your whole day be spent

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا سالم بن نوح، اخبرني الجريري، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال خرجنا حجاجا او عمارا ومعنا ابن صايد - قال - فنزلنا منزلا فتفرق الناس وبقيت انا وهو فاستوحشت منه وحشة شديدة مما يقال عليه - قال - وجاء بمتاعه فوضعه مع متاعي . فقلت ان الحر شديد فلو وضعته تحت تلك الشجرة - قال - ففعل - قال - فرفعت لنا غنم فانطلق فجاء بعس فقال اشرب ابا سعيد . فقلت ان الحر شديد واللبن حار . ما بي الا اني اكره ان اشرب عن يده - او قال اخذ عن يده - فقال ابا سعيد لقد هممت ان اخذ حبلا فاعلقه بشجرة ثم اختنق مما يقول لي الناس يا ابا سعيد من خفي عليه حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما خفي عليكم معشر الانصار الست من اعلم الناس بحديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اليس قد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " هو كافر " . وانا مسلم اوليس قد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " هو عقيم لا يولد له " . وقد تركت ولدي بالمدينة او ليس قد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا يدخل المدينة ولا مكة " . وقد اقبلت من المدينة وانا اريد مكة قال ابو سعيد الخدري حتى كدت ان اعذره . ثم قال اما والله اني لاعرفه واعرف مولده واين هو الان . قال قلت له تبا لك ساير اليوم

This hadith has transmitted on the authority of Abu Sa'id that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Ibn Sa'id about the earth of Paradise. Thereupon he said:Abu'l-Qasim, It is like a fine white musk, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: 'You have told the the truth

حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي، حدثنا بشر، - يعني ابن مفضل - عن ابي مسلمة، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لابن صايد " ما تربة الجنة " . قال درمكة بيضاء مسك يا ابا القاسم . قال " صدقت

Abu Sa'id reported that Ibn Sayyad asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the earth of Paradise. Whereupon he said:It is like white shining pure musk

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو اسامة، عن الجريري، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد، ان ابن صياد، سال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن تربة الجنة فقال " درمكة بيضاء مسك خالص

Muhammad b. Munkadir reported:As I saw Jabir b. 'Abdullah taking an oath in the name of Allah that it was Ibn Sa'id who was the Dajjal I said: Do you take an oath in the name of Allah? Thereupon he said: I heard 'Umar taking an oath in the presence of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) to this effect but Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) did not disapprove of it

حدثنا عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا شعبة، عن سعد بن ابراهيم، عن محمد بن المنكدر، قال رايت جابر بن عبد الله يحلف بالله ان ابن صايد الدجال، فقلت اتحلف بالله قال اني سمعت عمر يحلف على ذلك عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فلم ينكره النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

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
