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 ﷺ قُتِلَ قَتْلًا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً، وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ اتَّخَذَهُ نَبِيًّا، وَجَعَلَهُ شَهِيدًا

✧ For me to swear by God nine times that Ibn Sa'id is the Dajjal is more beloved to me than to swear once, and for me to swear nine times that the Messenger of God ﷺ was killed a killing is more beloved to me than to swear once, and that is because God took him as a prophet and made him a martyr.
