It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once, along with some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), among whom was Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Ibn Sayyad. At that time, he was playing with children near the mounds of Banu Maghalah, and he himself was also a child. He did not know of the coming of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on his back and said: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" Ibn Sayyad looked up at the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the unlettered ones." Then Ibn Sayyad said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I believe in Allah and His Messengers." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "What comes to you?" He said, "A truthful one and a liar come to me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The matter has become confused for you." Then he said: "I have hidden something in my heart for you, tell me what it is?" (The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had hidden in his mind the Qur'anic verse: 'The Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke.') Ibn Sayyad said, "It is smoke." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be off! You cannot go beyond your status." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike his neck?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he is the same Dajjal, you will not be given power over him, and if he is not that Dajjal, then what benefit is there in killing him?"
