قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ خَالِي الْفَلَتَانِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا قُعُودًا نَنْتَظِرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَجَاءَنَا وَفِي وَجْهِهِ الْغَضَبُ حَتَّى جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْنَا وَجْهَهُ يُسْفِرُ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّهُ بُيِّنَتْ لِي لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ وَمَسِيحُ الضَّلَالَةِ، فَخَرَجْتُ لِأُبَيِّنَهَا لَكُمْ، فَلَقِيتُ بِسُدَّةِ الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلَيْنِ يَتَلَاحَيَانِ، أَوْ قَالَ: يَقْتَتِلَانِ، مَعَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ، فَحَجَزْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَأُنْسِيتُهَا، وَسَأَشْدُو لَكُمْ مِنْهُمَا شَدْوًا، أَمَّا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وِتْرًا، وَأَمَّا مَسِيحُ الضَّلَالَةِ فَرَجُلٌ أَجْلَى الْجَبْهَةِ، مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ، عَرِيضُ النَّحْرِ، كَأَنَّهُ فُلَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، أَوْ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى بْنُ قَطَنٍ

✧ We were sitting waiting for the Prophet ﷺ, and he came to us with anger on his face until he sat down. Then we saw his face brighten, and he ﷺ said: 'The Night of Decree and the Messiah of Misguidance were made clear to me, so I came out to make them clear to you. Then I met at the entrance of the mosque two men arguing, or he said: fighting, with Satan accompanying them, so I came between them, and I was made to forget them. I will tell you something of them. As for the Night of Decree, seek it in the last ten nights on odd nights. As for the Messiah of Misguidance, he is a man with a bright forehead, a defective eye, a broad neck, as though he were so-and-so b. 'Abd al-'Uzza, or 'Abd al-'Uzza b. Qatan.'
