Mahdi bin Imran Mazni says: I heard from Sayyiduna Abu Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him), when he was asked whether he had seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes. Then he was asked: Did you also speak with him (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: No, I only saw that he went to such-and-such a place, and some other companions, including Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), were with him. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached a spacious house, he said: Open this door. So the door was opened, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered inside, and I also went in with him. In the middle of the room there was a sheet spread out. He said: Lift this sheet. So they lifted the sheet, and underneath it was a one-eyed boy. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O boy! Stand up. So he stood up. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Boy! Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah? He replied: And do you (peace and blessings be upon him) testify that I am the Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah? He again replied: And do you (peace and blessings be upon him) testify that I am the Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice: Seek Allah’s refuge from his evil.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We came with an army from a city located towards the east, and Abdullah bin Sayyad was also in that army. No one would walk with him, sit with him, nor liked to eat or drink with him, and people used to call him the Dajjal. One day I was sitting in my house when Abdullah bin Sayyad saw me and came and sat near me and said: Abu Sa'id! You see the treatment people give me, no one likes to walk, sit, or eat and drink with me, and they also call me the Dajjal. Abu Sa'id! You know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said that: The Dajjal will not be able to enter Madinah Munawwarah. Whereas I was born in Madinah. And you have also heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that: The Dajjal will have no children. Whereas I have children. By Allah! Seeing the attitude of people, I have intended to go to a secluded place, put a rope around my neck and strangle myself, and find relief from people's words. By Allah! I am not the Dajjal. By Allah! If you wish, I can inform you of his, his father's, and his mother's names, and the name of the town from which he will appear.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went for Hajj and on the way we stopped under a tree. Ibn Sayyad also came and sat on one side under that tree. I said: What calamity has Allah put upon me. He said: Abu Sa'id! How many hurtful things I have to hear from people, they say that I am the Dajjal. Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the Dajjal will have no children and he will not be able to enter Madinah Munawwarah and Makkah Mukarramah? I said: Yes, why not. Then he said: I do have children and now I have come out from Madinah and will go and stay towards Makkah Mukarramah. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So after hearing his words, my heart softened for him. Then he said: By Allah! I have the most knowledge about his place of emergence. Upon hearing this, I said: May you be ruined all day long.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked Ibn Sayyad about the soil of Paradise. He replied: It is soft white soil and pure musk. Upon hearing this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: He has spoken the truth.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Ibn Sayyad: "What do you see?" He said: "I see a throne on the sea, around which there are snakes." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is seeing the throne of Iblis."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the mention of Ibn Sayyad was made before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He claims that whatever he passes by, it speaks to him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be no child born to the parents of Dajjal for thirty years; after that, a one-eyed child will be born to them. He will be a child who brings more harm and less benefit. When he sleeps, his eyes will sleep but his heart will remain awake.

Narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid, she says: We were present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his house, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Three years before the appearance of Dajjal, the sky will withhold one-third of its water and the earth will withhold one-third of its crops. When the second year comes, the sky will withhold two-thirds of its water and the earth will withhold two-thirds of its crops. Then, when the third year begins, the sky will completely withhold its water and the earth will completely withhold its crops. All animals with humps (camels) and hooves (cows, oxen, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys) will perish. Meanwhile, Dajjal will come and say to a villager: If I bring your she-camels back to you fat, fresh, and with udders full of milk, will you believe that I am your Lord? He will say: Yes, absolutely. After that, the devils will take the form of that man’s camels, so the man will follow him. In the same way, Dajjal will say to another man: If I bring your father, son, and all those among your family whom you recognize back to life, will you believe that I am your Lord? He will say: Yes, absolutely. Then he will present devils in the form of those people, so that man will also follow him. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went outside, and all the people present in the house began to weep. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, we were all crying. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Why are you crying? I (Asma) said: O Messenger of Allah! Because of what you have described about Dajjal. In one narration it is mentioned: You have shaken our hearts by mentioning Dajjal. By Allah! I have a maid among my family, when she kneads dough, she does not even finish her work before she starts to break down from hunger. In another narration it is mentioned: When we knead dough, we do not even finish baking bread before we feel hungry, so what will we do at that time? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At that time, for the people of faith, glorifying Allah (takbeer), declaring His perfection (tasbeeh), and praising Him (tahmeed) will suffice instead of food and drink. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not weep, for if Dajjal appears while I am among you, I will confront him, and if it happens after me, then Allah Himself will be the guardian of every Muslim.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) spoke about a time of great hardship before the appearance of Dajjal. The companions asked: In those days, what wealth will be better? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: A strong slave, who will be able to give water to his masters. As for food, there will be none at all. The companions asked: Then what will be the food of the believers in those days? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The glorification, sanctification, praise, and declaration of the oneness of Allah. Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: Where will the Arabs be in those days? He said: In those days, the Arabs will be few.
