Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed us about the Dajjal. Among what he told us about him was that the Dajjal will come, and it will be forbidden for him to enter any path of Madinah Munawwarah. A man will go out to him; he will be the best man on that day (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) or one of the best people among the people. He will say: I bear witness that you are the same Dajjal about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed us. So the Dajjal will say: What do you people think, if I kill him and then bring him back to life, will you have any doubt about this matter? The people will reply: No. So the Dajjal will be given power over this man; he will kill him and then bring him back to life. When he is brought back to life, he will say: By Allah! I have more insight about you now than I had before. Then the Dajjal will intend to kill this man again, but he will not be able to overpower him.

The narrator named Mu'ammar says: People believe that the man whom the Dajjal will kill and then bring back to life is Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him).
