Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said to Ibn Saiyad, I have kept for you a secret. Ibn Saiyad said, Ad-Dukh. The Prophet said, Keep quiet, for you cannot go beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed what has been foreordained for you). On that, `Umar said (to the Prophet ), Allow me to chop off his neck! The Prophet said, Leave him, for if he is he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal), then you will not be able to overcome him, and if he is not, then you gain no good by killing him.
