Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: No one asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Dajjal more than I did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What will you do with him? He will not be able to harm you." I said: "Shall I not kill Ibn Sayyad?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What will you gain by killing him? If he is the Dajjal, you will not be able to kill him; and if he is not the Dajjal, then what will you do with him?" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This report is mentioned in the Sahih, without the incident of killing Ibn Sayyad.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Jahwar bin Mansur, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
