حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي کُرَيْبٍ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا و قَالَ الْآخَرَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ کُنَّا نَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَرَّ بِابْنِ صَيَّادٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَکَ خَبِيئًا فَقَالَ دُخٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَکَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَعْنِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْهُ فَإِنْ يَکُنْ الَّذِي تَخَافُ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ قَتْلَهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7345
Abdullah reported: We were walking with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: I have concealed for you (something to test you, so tell me that). He said: It is Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Be off. You cannot get farther than your rank, whereupon 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to strike his neck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Leave him; if he is that one (Dajjal) whom you apprehend, you will not be able to kill him.
