It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): We were walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when we passed by some boys among whom was Ibn Sayyad. (On seeing us) the other boys ran away, but Ibn Sayyad remained sitting in his place. It was as though this behaviour of his displeased the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "May your hands be covered in dust! Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He replied: No; rather, do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah? At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Do you give me permission to kill him? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he is the one (the Dajjal) you think he is, you will never be able to kill him."
