أَنَّ عُمَرَ انْطَلَقَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِبَلَ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ حَتَّى وَجَدُوهُ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ عِنْدَ أُطُمِ بَنِي مَغَالَةَ وَقَدْ قَارَبَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ يَحْتَلِمُ فَلَمْ يَشْعُرْ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ الأُمِّيِّينَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَاذَا تَرَى قَالَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ يَأْتِينِي صَادِقٌ وَكَاذِبٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خُلِطَ عَلَيْكَ الأَمْرُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبِيئًا قَالَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ هُوَ الدُّخُّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكَ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنْ يَكُنْهُ فَلَنْ تُسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْهُ فَلاَ خَيْرَ لَكَ فِي قَتْلِهِ

- Ibn ʿUmar
Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" 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 ﷺ said to him, "I believe in Allah and His Apostles." Then the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ added, " I have kept something (in my mind) for you." Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Ad-Dukh." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits." On that 'Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If he should be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be him, then you are not going to benefit by murdering him."
