Islamic Exemplary Stories
The story of a child full of mystery in the time of the Prophet who is suspected as Dajjal
There was a man in the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, his name was Safi Ibn Sayyad.
His name was Safi, son of Sayyad.
He lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW and he was a boy who was raised originally from a Jewish family.
He really hates the Prophet
And they say that this boy, Safi ibn Sayyad, he can tell you what you think.
He has certain abilities.
The Prophet heard about it.
One day he went to find out if he was Dajjal or not.
He went with Umar ibn Khattab r.a and they went to a village where Safi ibn Sayyad was located.
And the boy was sitting, playing around with something.
When the Prophet of Allah tried to approach, Umar bin Khattab said, he moved from tree to tree. He tried to get close to this child and tried to hear what he was saying
The boy said something, he wanted to hear what he said.
As the Prophet of Allah approached Safi very closely to hear his words, suddenly the mother of the child saw the Prophet and her mother said, “Wahai Safi, there is Muhammad.”
And Safi looked up and stopped talking.
Safi became very angry! He really hated her SAW. I don't know why.
The Prophet said, “If only his mother had not seen me, I could hear a little more, and I would have known he was Dajjal or not"
Because people say that the child is Dajjal that he will emerge from there and he will become Dajjal.
Prophet SAW said to the boy, “I hid something in my mind, in my chest where I want you to try to guess what it was.”
And the boy looked, slightly frowned and said, “Ad-Dukh.. Dukh. I can only get Ad-Dukh, Ad-Dukh.”
Prophet SAW said, “May your strength cannot exceed that!”
Prophet SAW said to him, “Do you believe that I am the messenger of God?”
He said, “Only if you believe that I am the messenger of God.”
He acted rather arrogantly by saying, “I am the messenger of God.” The Prophet stood up and left
Umar bin Khattab asked, “What does Ad-Dukh mean? What words are you hiding in you? ”
He said, “I hid the word Ad-Dukhan.”
Ad-Dukhan means, “asap or habog” and the boy guessed half of it.This boy, Safi ibn Sayyad grew up, and he lived in Medina.
He eventually converted to Islam and he got married.And they said that he had about 10 children.And the Companions always avoided him, because they did not feel comfortable being around him.
One day they went on a pilgrimage.
Then when they came home from Hajj, on the way home, a Friend of the Prophet of Allah (Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri radhiyallahu ‘anhu), said, sitting under a shadow from a tree and then Safi ibn Sayyad with his goods sat beside the Friend.
The friend felt uneasy around her, and said,
“There are many shelter places here, you can sit somewhere else.”
So Safi started crying.
Safi ibn Sayyad wept.…..
She asked, “Why are you crying?”
Safi said, “This is because people said that I am Dajjal and others.”
Safi looked at this Friend of the Anshars, and said,
“You should know that you are very knowledgeable. You should know that ad-Dajjal is not a Muslim while I am a Muslim. He was not married but I was married. She can't have children, but I have children. And he cannot enter Mecca or Medina, but I am here.”
The friend said, “By Allah, you are right. Your argument is correct as well.”
Then Safi ibn Sayyad said to him,
“But you know, that name (Dajjal) is pretty good. Dajjal's a cool name because he's got powers. I don't mind if I'm really Dajjal.”
Then he stayed away from Safi.
Behind him, Safi ibn Sayyad laughed.
So Safi is a very strange person.
After the death of the Prophet, there was a great battle that occurred with Musailamah al-Kazzab, in which hundreds of memorizers of the Quran were killed.
And they saw Safi ibn Sayyad fighting with them and they searched for his body, and they said,
“We can not find it, either among the dead or the living.”
All his children died, his wife died.
This boy, Safi ibn Sayyad grew up, and he lived in Medina.
He eventually converted to Islam and he married.
And they said that he had about 10 children.
And the Companions always avoid it, because they do not feel comfortable being around it.
One day they went on a pilgrimage.
Then when they came home from Hajj, on the way home, a Friend of the Prophet of Allah (Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri radhiyallahu ‘anhu), said, sitting under a shadow from a tree and then Safi ibn Sayyad with his goods sat beside the Friend.
The friend felt uneasy around her, and said,
“There are many shelter places here, you can sit somewhere else.”
So Safi started crying.
Safi ibn Sayyad wept.…..
She asked, “Why are you crying?”
Safi said, “This is because people said that I am Dajjal and others.”
Safi looked at this Friend of the Anshars, and said,
“You should know that you are very knowledgeable. You should know that ad-Dajjal is not a Muslim while I am a Muslim. He was not married but I was married. She can't have children, but I have children. And he cannot enter Mecca or Medina, but I am here.”
The friend said, “By Allah, you are right. Your argument is correct as well.”
Then Safi ibn Sayyad said to him,
“But you know, that name (Dajjal) is pretty good. Dajjal's a cool name because he's got powers. I don't mind if I'm really Dajjal.”
Then the friend stood up and said, “Please stay away from me."
Then he stayed away from Safi.
Behind him, Safi ibn Sayyad laughed.
So Safi is a very strange person.
After the death of the Prophet, there was a great battle that occurred with Musailamah al-Kazzab, in which hundreds of memorizers of the Quran were killed.
And they saw Safi ibn Sayyad fighting with them and they searched for his body, and they said,
“We can not find it, either among the dead or the living.”
All his children died, his wife died.
And after that war, they couldn't find him at all, he disappeared.
This is the story of Safi ibn Sayyad.
So Wallahu’alam, whether he is Dajjal or not.
Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a said, “I often said before the Prophet SAW, ‘For Allah he is Dajjal.’
And he did not deny my words and did not allow them. He was silent.”…..
So the Dajjal thing is so strange and mysterious that it really appears.
