وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا مَمْسُوحَةٌ عَيْنُهُ ، طَالِعَةٌ نَاتِئَةٌ ، فَأَشْفَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ يَكُونَ الدَّجَّالَ ، فَوَجَدَهُ تَحْتَ قَطِيفَةٍ يُهَمْهِمُ ، فَآذَنَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ قَدْ جَاءَ ، فَاخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِ . فَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْقَطِيفَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا لَهَا قَاتَلَهَا اللَّهُ ؟ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ لَبُيِّنَ . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ مَا تَرَى ؟ " . قَالَ : أَرَى حَقًّا ، وَأَرَى بَاطِلًا ، وَأَرَى عَرْشًا عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، فَلُبِّسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " . فَقَالَ هُوَ : أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ " . ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى ، فَوَجَدَهُ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهُ يُهَمْهِمُ ، فَآذَنَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ قَدْ جَاءَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا لَهَا قَاتَلَهَا اللَّهُ ؟ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ لَبُيِّنَ " . فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ شَيْئًا ، فَيَعْلَمُ أَهُوَ هُوَ أَمْ لَا ، قَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ مَا تَرَى ؟ " . قَالَ هُوَ : أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ " . فَلُبِّسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُ .
ثُمَّ جَاءَ فِي الثَّالِثَةَ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةَ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ، قَالَ : فَبَادَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا ، رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ شَيْئًا ، فَسَبَقَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ قَدْ جَاءَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا لَهَا قَاتَلَهَا اللَّهُ ؟ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ لَبُيِّنَ " . فَقَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ ، مَا تَرَى ؟ " . فَقَالَ : أَرَى حَقًّا ، وَأَرَى بَاطِلًا ، وَأَرَى عَرْشًا عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، قَالَ : " أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " . قَالَ هُوَ : أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْتَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ " . فَلُبِّسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ ، إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَّأْتُ لَكَ خَبِيئًا ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ الدُّخُّ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " اخْسَأْ ، اخْسَأْ " . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : ائْذَنْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنْ يَكُنْ هُوَ فَلَسْتَ صَاحِبَهُ ، إِنَّمَا صَاحِبُهُ عِيسَى بْنُ مَرْيَمَ ، وَإِلَّا يَكُنْ هُوَ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَهْدِ " . قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مُسْتَيْقِنًا أَنَّهُ الدَّجَّالُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A Jewish woman in Madinah gave birth to a boy one of whose eyes was defective, protruding outward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) feared that he might be the Dajjal. Once he found the boy under a sheet, muttering. The boy's mother alerted him and said: "O Abdullah! Here is Abu al-Qasim, who has come." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved towards him, and he came out from under the sheet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is wrong with this woman, may Allah destroy her! Had she left him alone, the matter would have become clear." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Ibn Sayyad, what do you see?" He said: "I see something true, I see something false, and I see a throne upon the water." So the matter became confused for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He asked: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I believe in Allah Almighty and His (true) messengers." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left and let him be.
Then he came to him a second time and found him in a date-palm garden, muttering. He intended to approach him, but his mother told him and said: "O Abdullah! Here is Abu al-Qasim, who has come." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is wrong with this woman, may Allah destroy her! Had she left him alone, the matter would have become clear." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to hear something of his speech so that he would know whether he was the one or not. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Ibn Sayyad, what do you see?" He (Ibn Sayyad) asked: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I believe in Allah and His (truthful and true) messengers." (The narrator says:) So the matter became confused for him, and he left him and went away.
Then, when he came the third or fourth time, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) were with him, along with some others from the Muhajirun and the Ansar, and I too was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) hurried ahead of us, hoping that he would hear something of his speech, but his mother got there before him and said to him: "O Abdullah! Here is Abu al-Qasim, who has come." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is wrong with this woman, may Allah destroy her! Had she left him as he was, the matter would have become clear." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Ibn Sayyad, what do you see?" He said: "I see something true, I see something false, and I see a throne upon the water." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I believe in Allah Almighty and in His (true and truthful) messengers." The matter became confused for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Sayyad! I have thought of something for you." He said: "It is 'dukh' (i.e. smoke)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be gone! Be gone!" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Permit me (to kill him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he is the one, then you are not the one to deal with him, for the one to deal with him will be Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him); and if he is not the one (i.e. the Dajjal), then you have no right to kill a man from the people under covenant (dhimmis)." The narrator says: After that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained convinced that he was the Dajjal.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
