Abdullah reported:
We were walking with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Leave him; if he is that one (Dajjal) whom you apprehend, you will not be able to kill him.
