حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا 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 نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ "، قَالَ: وَنَعَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَاهُ؛ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ ضَرْبُ اللَّحْمِ كَأَنَّ أَنْفَهُ مِنْقَارٌ، وَأَمَّا أُمُّهُ فَامْرَأَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ ضَاحِيَةُ الثَّدْيِ "، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ: فَسَمِعْنَا بِمَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْيَهُودِ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ فَإِذَا نَعْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمَا، فَقُلْنَا: هَلْ لَكُمَا مَنْ وَلَدٍ ؟ فَقَالَا: مَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَنَا، ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا وَلَدٌ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ، فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا فَإِذَا هُوَ مُنْجَدِلٌ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَهُ هَمْهَمَةٌ، فَكَشَفَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ: مَا قُلْتُمَا ؟ قُلْنَا: أَوَسَمِعْتَ ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي أَنَامُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي

✧ 'The parents of the Dajjal remain for thirty years without having a child, then a boy is born to them, one-eyed, the most harmful of things and the least beneficial. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.' He said: And the Messenger of God ﷺ described his father: a tall man with flabby flesh, as if his nose were a beak. As for his mother, a tall woman with prominent breasts. Abu Bakra said: We heard of a newborn born in Madinah among the Jews, so I and al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam went and entered upon his parents, and found the description of the Messenger of God ﷺ in them. We said: 'Do you have any children?' They said: 'We remained thirty years without having a child, then a child was born to us, the most harmful of things and the least beneficial. His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.' We went out from them and found him lying wrapped in a velvet cloth in the sun, murmuring. He uncovered his head and said: 'What did you say?' We said: 'Did you hear?' He said: 'I sleep but my heart does not sleep.'

في سنده علي بن زيد بن جدعان وهو ضعيف عند غير الترمذي

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 الطيالسي, p. 908 - 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?
