Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5207 — That I should swear by Allah nine times
وَحَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : لَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ بِاللهِ تِسْعًا أَنَّ ابْنَ صَائِدٍ هُوَ الدَّجَّالُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً ، وَلَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ تِسْعَةً : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قُتِلَ قَتْلًا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً ، وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ اتَّخَذَهُ نَبِيًّا ، وَجَعَلَهُ شَهِيدًا .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That I should swear by Allah nine times that Ibn Sa'id is the Dajjal is dearer to me than that I should swear (the opposite) once. And that I should swear nine times that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was killed (given the death of a martyr) is dearer to me than that I should swear (against it) once; and that is because Allah Almighty made him (peace and blessings be upon him) both a prophet and a martyr."
