وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَالِهِ الْفَلَتَانِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ، ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا، وَرَأَيْتُ مَسِيحَ الضَّلَالَةِ، وَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَتَلَاحَيَانِ، فَحَجَزْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَأُنْسِيتُهُمَا. فَأَمَّا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فَاطْلُبُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، وَأَمَّا مَسِيحُ الضَّلَالَةِ، فَرَجُلٌ أَجْلَى الْجَبْهَةِ، مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى، عَرِيضُ النَّحْرِ، فِيهِ دَمًا، كَأَنَّهُ فُلَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، أَوْ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى بْنُ فُلَانٍ

✧ I saw the Night of Decree, then I was made to forget it, and I saw the Messiah of Misguidance, and I saw two men arguing, so I came between them, and I was made to forget them. So as for the Night of Decree, seek it in the last ten nights. As for the Messiah of Misguidance, he is a man with a bright forehead, a defective left eye, a broad neck, with some blood on him, as though he were so-and-so b. 'Abd al-'Uzza, or 'Abd al-'Uzza b. so-and-so.
