حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
" يَمْكُثُ أَبَوَا الدَّجَّالِ ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ يُولَدُ لَهُمَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ مَنْفَعَةً " تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ ثُمَّ نَعَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَوَيْهِ: فَقَالَ أَبُوهُ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ ضَرْبُ اللَّحْمِ كَأَنَّ أَنْفَهُ مِنْقَارٌ، وَأُمُّهُ فِرْضَاخِيَّةٌ طَوِيلَةُ الثَّدْيَيْنِ. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ فَسَمِعْنَا بِمَوْلُودٍ فِي الْيَهُودِ فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ فَإِذَا نَعْتُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا: هَلْ لَكُمَا وَلَدٌ فَقَالَا: مَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً لَا يُولَدُ لَنَا ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ مَنْفَعَةً تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ قَالَ: فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا فَإِذَا هُوَ مُنْجَدِلٌ فِي قَطِيقَةٍ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَلَهُ هَمْهَمَةٌ فَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ قَالَ: مَا قُلْتُمَا ؟ قُلْنَا: وَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ مَا قُلْنَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّهُ تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي

✧ “The parents of the Dajjāl will remain for thirty years without a child being born to them. Then a boy will be born to them, one-eyed, most harmful of things and least beneficial. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.” Then the Messenger of God ﷺ described his parents: “His father is a tall man, lean-fleshed, as if his nose were a beak, and his mother is broad-chested with long breasts.” Abū Bakrah said: We heard of a newborn among the Jews, so I and al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām went until we entered upon his parents, and they matched the Prophet’s ﷺ description. We said: “Do you have a child?” They said: “We remained thirty years without a child being born to us, then a boy was born to us, one-eyed, most harmful of things and least beneficial. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.” He said: We came out from them and there he was, sprawled in a patch of sunlight, murmuring. I uncovered his head. He said: “What did you say?” We said: “Did you hear what we said?” He said: “Yes, 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.

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 البزار, p. 3620 - 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?
