Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention him, that is, mention Dhu al-Thudayyah, who was found among the people of Nahrawan. He said: "The devil of the mountain hollow, whom a man from the tribe of Bajilah will bring down from above. That man's name will be al-Ashhab (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) Ibn al-Ashhab. He will be a sign among an unjust people." The narrator Sufyan says: When Ammar al-Duhni narrated this, he said: "A man from our tribe of Bajilah brought him." The narrator says: I think the narration also contains these words: He was from Duhn, and he was called al-Ashhab or Ibn al-Ashhab.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, Ahmad recorded it in abridged form, and al-Bazzar recorded it; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
