حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
يَمْكُثُ أَبَوَا الدَّجَّالِ ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَهُمَا، ثُمَّ يُولَدُ لَهُمَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ، ثُمَّ نَعَتَ أَبَوَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَبُوهُ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ، مُضْطَرِبُ اللَّحْمِ، طَوِيلُ الْأَنْفِ كَأَنَّ أَنْفَهُ مِنْقَارٌ، وَأُمُّهُ امْرَأَةٌ فِرْضَاخِيَّةٌ، عَظِيمَةُ الثَّدْيَيْنِ. قَالَ: فَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ مَوْلُودًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وُلِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ فَرَأَيْنَا فِيهِمَا نَعْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَإِذَا هُوَ مُنْجَدِلٌ فِي الشَّمْسِ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ لَهُ هَمْهَمَةٌ، فَسَأَلْنَا أَبَوَيْهِ فَقَالَا: مَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَنَا ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ، وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مَرَرْنَا بِهِ فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُمَا فِيهِ ؟ قُلْنَا: وَسَمِعْتَ ؟ ! قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّهُ تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي، فَإِذَا هُوَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The father of the Dajjal and hid mother, will abide for thirty years without bearing a son. Then a boy shall be born to them, having one eye in which there is some defect, providing little use. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described his parents for us: 'His father is tall, with little fat, with a nose as if it were a beak. His mother is a bulky woman with long breasts.'" So Abu Bakrah said: "I heard about a child being born to some Jews in Al-Madinah. So Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam and I went until we entered upon his parents. They appeared as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had described them. We said: 'Do you have any children?' They said: 'We remained for thirty years without any children being born to us, then we bore a boy, having one eye in which there is some defect, providing little use. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.'" He said: "So we were leaving them, when he appeared, glittering in the sunlight in a velvet garment, murmuring something. He uncovered his head and said: 'What were you saying?' We said: 'Did you hear what we were saying?' He said: 'Yes, that my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'"

في سنده علي بن زيد بن جدعان وهو ضعيف عند غير الترمذي
machine translationIn its chain is ʿAlī b. Zayd b. Judʿān, who is weak (ḍaʿīf) according to scholars other than al-Tirmidhī.
in مسند أحمد, p. 20683 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
تفرد به علي بن زيد بن جدعان وليس بالقوي
machine translationʿAlī b. Zayd b. Judʿān was alone in narrating it, and he is not strong (qawī).
in مسند أحمد, p. 20683 - Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
يوهي الحديث أن أبا بكرة إنما أسلم لما نزل من الطائف حين حوصرت سنة ثمان من الهجرة وفي حديث ابن عمر الذي في الصحيحين أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم لما توجه إلى النخل التي فيها ابن صياد كان ابن صياد يومئذ كالمحتلم فمتى يدرك أبو بكرة زمان مولده بالمدينة وهو لم يسكن المدينة إلا قبل الوفاة النبوية بسنتين
machine translationWhat weakens the hadith is that Abū Bakrah only accepted Islam when he came down from al-Ṭāʾif when it was besieged in the year 8 AH. And in the hadith of Ibn ʿUmar, which is in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, when the Prophet ﷺ headed to the palm grove in which Ibn Ṣayyād was, Ibn Ṣayyād at that time was like one who had reached puberty. So how could Abū Bakrah have been present at the time of his birth in Medina, when he only settled in Medina two years before the death of the Prophet ﷺ?
