Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12565

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : لَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ بِاللَّهِ تِسْعًا أَنَّ ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ هُوَ الدَّجَّالُ ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِهِ . وَلَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ تِسْعًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا ، أَحَبُّ لِي مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ ; وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَهُ نَبِيًّا ، وَاتَّخَذَهُ شَهِيدًا . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَأَبُو يَعْلَى بِنَحْوِهِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، وَرِجَالُ أَبِي يَعْلَى رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "For me to swear by Allah nine times that Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal is dearer to me than to swear once that he is not the Dajjal. And for me to swear nine times that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was killed as a martyr is dearer to me than to swear once that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not killed. That is because Allah Almighty made him a prophet and also raised him to the rank of martyrdom."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and Abu Ya'la recorded something similar in abridged form. The narrators of Abu Ya'la are the narrators of the Sahih.
