Hadith 5289

Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I accompanied Ibn Sayyad to Mecca, and he said to me, “What I have faced from people claiming I am the Dajjal! Have you not heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, ‘He will have no children,’ yet I have children? Did he not say, ‘He is a disbeliever,’ yet I am a Muslim? Did he not say, ‘He will not enter Medina or Mecca,’ yet I have come from Medina and intend to enter Mecca?” Then, at the end of his speech, he said, “By Allah, I know his birthplace, his location, and where he is. I know his father and mother.” He confused me, so I said, “May you perish for the rest of the day.” It was said to him, “Would it please you to be that man?” He said, “If it were offered to me, I would not dislike it.”
