Sahih al-Bukhari 3055 (Book 56, Hadith 261) #2921
Encountering Ad-Dajjal

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) encountered Ibn Saiyad and asked him to testify that he was Allah's Messenger. Ibn Saiyad replied with a riddle, and the Prophet (ﷺ) warned him not to cross his limits.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet set out with the Prophet to Ibn Saiyad. He found him playing with some boys near the hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his puberty. He did not notice (the Prophet's presence) till the Prophet stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger ?" Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of the illiterates". Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet".Do you testify that I am the apostle of Allah?" The Prophet said to him, "I believe in Allah and His Apostles". Then the Prophet said (to Ibn Saiyad)".What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad replied, "True people and false ones visit me". The Prophet said, "Your mind is confused as to this matter". The Prophet added, " I have kept something (in my mind) for you". Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Ad-Dukh". The Prophet said (to him), "Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits". On that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Allow me to chop his head off". The Prophet said, "If he should be him (ie Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be him, then you are not going to benefit by murdering him".
