Sahih Muslim 2924b (Book 54, Hadith 109) #14402
Testing the Apprehension of Dajjal

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger ﷺ tested Ibn Sayyad by asking him to tell him something that he had concealed. When Ibn Sayyad answered correctly, Allah's Messenger ﷺ warned Umar not to harm him as he was the one they were apprehensive of.

'Abdullah reported: We were walking with Allah's Messenger that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger 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 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 said: Leave him; if he is that one (Dajjal) whom you apprehend, you will not be able to kill him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فَمَرَّ بِابْنِ صَيَّادٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبِيئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ دُخٌّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَعْنِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ دَعْهُ فَإِنْ يَكُنِ الَّذِي تَخَافُ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ قَتْلَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about testing the apprehension of Dajjall. It is narrated by Abdullah ibn Sayyad who was walking with Allah's Messenger when they encountered Ibn Sayyad. To test his knowledge and apprehension of a certain matter, Allah's Messenger asked him to tell him something that he had concealed. When Ibn Sayyad answered correctly with 'Dukh', Allah's Messenger warned Umar not to harm him as he was the one they were apprehensive of - likely referring to Dajjall himself. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful in our actions and words when dealing with matters related to faith and religion as it can have serious consequences if done incorrectly or without proper knowledge or understanding. We should also be wary of those who claim special knowledge or power over religious matters and always seek guidance from those more knowledgeable than us in such matters before taking any action ourselves.
