The Dajjal And The Return of Jesus_ Yusuf Ibn Abdullah Ibn Yusuf Al Wabil

Ibn Sqyydd is a reafiry & not a fable
you are not his slaughter 6 ; Indeed, his slaughter is 'Isa
ibn Maryam (;I): And if he is not him, then you have no
right to kill a person from the people of the covenant.' 7
Both al-KhagabI 8 and al-BaghawI 9 held this view. Ibn Hajr
said, 'It is incumbent (to hold this view).' 10
2.) That ibn Sayyad at that time was still young (in age) and
had not yet attained puberty. This reply is also substantiated
by what Imam Bukhari: has reported from Ibn 'Umar
(may Allah be pleased with them both) pertaining to the
incident of the Prophet (;I) departure to Ibn Sayyad - in
it is his Ibn 'Umar statement:
.- -'Lt ~ . G.l;J\ ,, wJi ~ , - - ;.­
'F r - '-' - ~ . , ~.., ~
,_, .... _-, ..l~ '··1 ~- - ~; U ~ ~fu
~ - , ~ .- .J; . .) ..,
' ... until they found him playing with the youths of
Bam:i Magha]ah at utum, and was then on the threshold
of attaining puberty.' 11

The word in the J:iadith is Sahib·, owner, possessor, holder etc. H owever the
implied expression is Sahib Qatlihi , literary the holder of his slaughtering - that
is - his slaughterer, and Allah knows best. TN ·
