Hadith 2924
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِعُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَرَرْنَا بِصِبْيَانٍ فِيهِمْ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ ، فَفَرَّ الصِّبْيَانُ وَجَلَسَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ ، فَكَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " ، فَقَالَ : لَا بَلْ تَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : ذَرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أَقْتُلَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ يَكُنِ الَّذِي تَرَى فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ قَتْلَهُ " .
'Abdullah reported: We were along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that we happened to pass by children amongst whom there was Ibn Sayyad. The children made their way but Ibn Sayyad kept sitting there (and it seemed) as if Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not like it (his sitting with the children) and said to him: May your nose he besmeared with dust, don't you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) Thereupon he said: No, but you should bear testimony that I am the messenger of Allah. Thereupon 'Umar bin Khattab said: Allah's Messenger, permit me that I should kill him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he is that person who is in your mind (Dajjal ), you will not be able to kill him.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَرَّ بِابْنِ صَيَّادٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبِيئًا " ، فَقَالَ : دُخٌّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكَ " ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، دَعْنِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَعْهُ ، فَإِنْ يَكُنِ الَّذِي تَخَافُ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ قَتْلَهُ " .
'Abdullah reported: We were walking with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: I have concealed for you (something to test you, so tell me that). He said: It is Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Be off. You cannot get farther than your rank, whereupon 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to strike his neck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Leave him; if he is that one (Dajjal) whom you apprehend, you will not be able to kill him.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Ibn Sayyad, whose name was Saf,
his birth and peculiar appearance were different from ordinary children, and some of his characteristics resembled those of the Dajjal.
For this reason, some of the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) suspected that he might be the Dajjal. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not have him killed because he was a Jew, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had made a treaty with the Jews that they would live with them in peace and security.
Later, due to their conspiracies and mischief,
they were expelled from Madinah Munawwarah.
