حَدَّثَنِى عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَالْحَسَنُ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ وَالسِّيَاقُ لِعَبْدٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَوْمًا حَدِيثًا طَوِيلاً عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ فَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ « يَأْتِى وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِقَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَنْتَهِى إِلَى بَعْضِ السِّبَاخِ الَّتِى تَلِى الْمَدِينَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ رَجُلٌ هُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ - أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ - فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الدَّجَّالُ الَّذِى حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَدِيثَهُ فَيَقُولُ الدَّجَّالُ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ قَتَلْتُ هَذَا ثُمَّ أَحْيَيْتُهُ أَتَشُكُّونَ فِى الأَمْرِ فَيَقُولُونَ لاَ. قَالَ فَيَقْتُلُهُ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيهِ فَيَقُولُ حِينَ يُحْيِيهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ فِيكَ قَطُّ أَشَدَّ بَصِيرَةً مِنِّى الآنَ - قَالَ - فَيُرِيدُ الدَّجَّالُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ فَلاَ يُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ ». قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: يُقَالُ إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ هُوَ الْخَضِرُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ.

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "One day the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spoke to us at length about the Dajjal. Among what he told us he said: 'He will come, but it will be forbidden to him to enter the mountain passes of Al-Madinah. So he will go to the barren tracts near Al-Madinah, and on that day, a man will go out to him who is the best of mankind, or one of the best of mankind, and he will say to him: "I bear witness that you are the Dajjal of whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spoke." The Dajjal will say: "If I kill this man and bring him back to life, do you think that you will have any doubts about the matter?" They will say: "No." So he will kill him then bring him back to life, and when he is brought back' to life, he will say: "By Allah, I was never more certain of you than I am now."' He said: 'The Dajjal will want to kill him but he will not be able to do so."'
