Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40272 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "That I should swear ten times that Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal is dearer to me than that I should swear once that he is not the Dajjal. This is because I heard something on this matter from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to the mother of Ibn Sayyad and said: 'Ask her how long she was pregnant with him.' She said: 'I was pregnant with him for twelve months.'" The narrator says: "I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Ask her about his cry when he was born.' His mother said: 'He cried like a two-month-old child.'" The narrator said: Or the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I have hidden something in my heart for you." He said: "You have hidden for me the bone of a white goat," and he wanted to say: "al-Dukhan (the smoke)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be gone! You cannot outstrip destiny."
