00:00But we are now interested in the big Dajjal, the final Dajjal.
00:04And there are, before we get to the hadith about Dajjal,
00:08there are two interesting aspects that are found in hadith literature
00:14that confuse the average reader,
00:17and in fact they even confuse some of the sahaba.
00:19So they still remain elements of confusion about the issue of Dajjal.
00:24The first of them was that there was an individual
00:27who lived at the time of the Prophet ﷺ,
00:31whom even the Prophet ﷺ for a period of time didn't know,
00:36is he that Dajjal or is he a minor Dajjal?
00:39He didn't know.
00:41And this incident is mentioned in Sahih Muslim and many books of hadith.
00:45It is an authentic incident, multiple narrations exist,
00:48about a certain young man who lived in Medina,
00:52who was from one of the Yehudi tribes.
00:55And he was a sorcerer.
00:58He had a alaqa, a connection with the jinn.
01:01He would call the jinn.
01:03And he was a magician.
01:05And he would pretend he knew the future.
01:08And he would foretell the future.
01:10You know in English we call them a soothsayer.
01:12He would foretell the future.
01:14And in our religion, anybody who pretends to know the future is a liar.
01:19And in our religion, anybody who invokes the jinn and calls out to the jinn,
01:23this is a magician.
01:24We don't call out to the jinn.
01:26We don't do anything for the jinn.
01:28And perhaps in another lecture I'll talk about this reality
01:31of how mankind has a relationship with the jinn,
01:35which is a very scary and interesting and deep topic.
01:38And all of our men and women love talking about the issue of jinn.
01:42Jinn stories are swapped at night when the hours become in the wee hours of the night.
01:47It becomes common to swap ancient jinn stories.
01:50And inshaAllah one day I'll give an academic lecture.
01:53What is all of this?
01:54Is there something called jinn?
01:56Is there something called magic?
01:57And inshaAllah we'll explain at that stage.
02:00For now realize that it is possible for evil people to invoke the jinn.
02:06It is possible.
02:07And when they do so, this is what we call magic.
02:10And that's why magic is haram.
02:12It is always haram to invoke the jinn.
02:14Because they are wanting nothing but evil.
02:17Whoever does so, must sacrifice tawheed and get involved in shirk.
02:23Because the payments that jinns accept,
02:26evil jinns, because you have good jinns as well.
02:28The payments that jinns accept is what?
02:31Do you think they will accept your American Express?
02:34Do they care about dollars and cents?
02:37What is the currency you will give the jinn?
02:41Your worship.
02:43That's the only thing the jinn wants.
02:45The jinn doesn't care about your credit score.
02:48He doesn't care about your credit cards and your money.
02:51What will the jinn do with credit cards and money?
02:54What does the jinn want?
02:55The same thing he wanted, Iblis wanted.
02:58That, أنا خير من.
02:59I am better than this creation.
03:01Let this creation bow down to me.
03:03Let this creation worship me.
03:06And if the jinn gets this,
03:08in return, the jinn will do some favors for you.
03:12We'll go and tell you something that, whatever.
03:14We'll talk about it when we get to it.
03:15So there was this magician,
03:17at the time of the Prophet ﷺ,
03:19by the name of Safi ibn Sayyad.
03:23That was his name.
03:24Safi ibn Sayyad.
03:27And some say his name was Abdullah ibn Sayyad,
03:29but his name was Safi.
03:30Safi ibn Sayyad.
03:32And he was from one of the Yehudi tribes
03:34who remained living in Medina for a number of years.
03:37Not all of the Jewish tribes were expelled.
03:39Some small families remained.
03:40And he was from of those tribes
03:42that lived on the outskirts of Medina.
03:44And when our Prophet ﷺ migrated to Medina,
03:47Safi ibn Sayyad was a young child,
03:50and he was about to reach puberty.
03:53And that's when...
03:54And so he's around 13 years old.
03:55And that's when our Prophet ﷺ begins interacting with him.
04:00And there are a number of interesting narrations
04:03about Safi ibn Sayyad.
04:06Of them is that,
04:09the Prophet ﷺ heard
04:12that there is this young child
04:15who has these visions of the jinn.
04:17He predicts the future.
04:18And so Umar and the Prophet ﷺ,
04:20this hadith is in Sahih Muslim,
04:22they walked towards a group of children who are playing.
04:26And amongst them was Safi ibn Sayyad.
04:30And ibn Sayyad is his name.
04:33He's called in hadith literature ibn Sayyad.
04:35Ibn Sayyad was not aware
04:37that the Prophet ﷺ was coming
04:38until he was right behind him.
04:40And ibn Sayyad turned around
04:42and the Prophet ﷺ was there.
04:44So the Prophet ﷺ said to ibn Sayyad,
04:47Do you testify that I am Rasulullah?
04:51Do you testify I am Rasulullah ﷺ?
04:53And ibn Sayyad said,
04:55I testify that you are the Rasul of the Ummiyin
05:00in a derogatory manner.
05:02You are the Rasul of the unlettered people.
05:05You're not Rasul to me,
05:06you're Rasul to the unlettered folk.
05:08So ibn Sayyad then said to the Prophet ﷺ,
05:13and he's 12-13 years old,
05:15look, he said,
05:16Do you testify that I am Rasulullah?
05:20What did we say?
05:21One of the signs of a dajjal is what?
05:25Dajjal claims he is Rasul.
05:27Right?
05:28So he is now saying,
05:29and look at the arrogance.
05:31And this also shows you
05:33that this is what happens
05:34when you start getting involved in magic.
05:37You really become a very evil person.
05:40How dare in front of the face of the Prophet ﷺ,
05:43and you are twisting the question,
05:45and you're saying, okay, you ask me,
05:46now let me ask you.
05:47Do you testify that I am Rasulullah?
05:50And the Prophet ﷺ said,
05:53آمنتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
05:55I believe in Allah and His Messenger.
05:57That was his response.
05:59And he said to ibn Sayyad,
06:01What do you see?
06:03What visions come to you?
06:05Ibn Sayyad said,
06:06I see two people come to me.
06:08One of them tells the truth,
06:10one of them tells lies.
06:12The Prophet ﷺ said,
06:13Rather, the matter has been made confusing for you.
06:16Meaning both of them are telling lies.
06:18Then the Prophet ﷺ said,
06:20I have a test for you.
06:21I have hidden something for you.
06:23And what was that thing that he was hiding?
06:25He was hiding a verse from the Qur'an,
06:27which is,
06:28يَوْمَ يَأْتِ السَّمَاءُ
06:31What's the half of it here?
06:32فَانْتَظِرْ حَتَّى
06:33What is it?
06:34Yes, what is the beginning of it?
06:36My mind is a little bit awkward
06:38because of the hajj,
06:39I'm still not fully recovered.
06:41فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِ السَّمَاءُ
06:43بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
06:44فَارْتَقِبْ I'm saying فَانْتَظِرْ
06:45فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِ السَّمَاءُ
06:47بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
06:48Okay?
06:49So the professor had recited this verse to the Sahaba.
06:52And he's saying,
06:52I'm holding, I'm testing Ibn Sayyad.
06:55He says he knows ilm al-ghayb.
06:57He says he knows everything.
06:58Okay, I just recited this verse,
07:00let's see,
07:01does he know did I recite this verse or not?
07:03You see the test, right?
07:04And by the way,
07:05any person who charges you $5 an hour
07:09to predict the future,
07:10is betraying his own lies
07:12when he's forced to charge you $5
07:14to predict the future.
07:15If he knew the future,
07:16he would be investing in Bitcoin
07:18and the stock market
07:18and become multi-millionaire instantaneously.
07:20The fact that he has to charge you $5
07:22to read your hand,
07:23the fact that you have to call in $3.99 per minute
07:26to predict the future,
07:27indicates what a liar that person is.
07:29Is that clear what I'm saying, right?
07:30So, the professor is testing.
07:32This is a man,
07:33he is claiming he knows ilm al-ghayb.
07:36He knows everything.
07:37Okay, I just recited a verse 20 feet away from him.
07:40Let's see whether he can tell his followers
07:43what I just recited to all of you.
07:45Simple test, right?
07:47فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِ السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
07:50He had recited to Umar ibn al-Khattab.
07:51Now he goes to Ibn Sayyad,
07:53and he says to Ibn Sayyad,
07:54I have a test for you.
07:56Do you know what it is?
07:57Do you know what I have hidden for you?
07:59And this shows you,
08:01Ibn Sayyad did have contact with the jinn,
08:04but the jinn are not all knowledgeable.
08:07All he could say was,
08:09دخ... دخ... دخ...
08:11And the verse was,
08:12فَارْتَقِبْ
08:14Right?
08:16فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِ السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
08:19And the jinn narrated two letters,
08:22دخ... دخ... دخ...
08:24And not the whole verse.
08:26You see that, right?
08:27So there was some jinn
08:29that was communicating with Ibn Sayyad,
08:31and he wasn't able to do it.
08:33So the Prophet said,
08:34اِخْسَأْ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ
08:36And اِخْسَأْ literally translates as shut up.
08:39It is a harsh word.
08:41اِخْسَأْ, the English word is shut up.
08:43And the Prophet said,
08:45except to those who deserved it.
08:47اِخْسَأْ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ
08:48Shut up, O enemy of Allah.
08:50فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكُ
08:51You shall never go beyond your meagerness.
08:54You think you are so big,
08:55you're never gonna go beyond this.
08:57Umar ibn Khattab said,
08:58Ya Rasulullah, allow me to execute him.
09:01This is a Dajjal.
09:03He says he is Rasulullah.
09:04He is communicating with the jinn.
09:06His penalty is execution.
09:07Ya Rasulullah, allow me to execute him.
09:10And our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
09:12If he is that Dajjal,
09:16you shall not be able to kill him.
09:19And if he is other than that Dajjal,
09:22your killing won't benefit anyone.
09:24It's nothing.
09:24It's gonna go away.
09:25Right?
09:26Leave him be.
09:26Now, this hadith is in Sahih Muslim.
09:28It's authentic.
09:29Now, if he is that Dajjal,
09:33you shall not be able to kill him.
09:34Why?
09:35Because who shall kill that Dajjal?
09:38Isa a.s.
09:39No one will be able to kill that one.
09:41So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling Umar,
09:43If he is that Dajjal,
09:45you won't be able to kill him.
09:47And if he is other than that Dajjal,
09:50yeah, what's the big deal?
09:51He's gonna come and go, no one will care.
09:53Your killing will not harm or benefit anyone.
09:55He's gonna be a minor, which was the case.
09:57He became a footnote in history.
09:59Majority of Muslims don't even know about his name.
10:01Even though during the time of the Sahaba,
10:04he was somewhat of a big deal.
10:05Somewhat.
10:06In the sense, we don't know his state,
10:08as we're going to come to.
10:10So this is one hadith about Ibn Dajjal.
10:13Another hadith, sorry, Ibn Sayyad, sorry.
10:15Another hadith is that once,
10:18the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
10:20went to go test Ibn Sayyad.
10:26And he walked towards his house with some of the Sahaba.
10:30And he hid behind some date palms,
10:33trying to see Ibn Sayyad
10:35in a way that Ibn Sayyad would not see him.
10:37But Ibn Sayyad's mother
10:39saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the distance.
10:41So she shouted out,
10:43Ya Safi, O Safi, watch, be careful.
10:47His mother was on the side of, obviously,
10:49mothers typically side with their sons.
10:51Even in batil, unfortunately, this is human nature.
10:53So the mother is saying to Ibn Sayyad,
10:56Ya Safi, that's his name, or Ya Saf.
10:58She cut out the Ya, out of love,
11:00it's called in Arabic, Bab al-Tarkhim.
11:01So she said, Ya Saf, look,
11:03there is Muhammad, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
11:05So he turned around and he saw
11:07the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
11:09And there was again some conversation
11:11that did not result in anything fruitful per se.
11:14And that Ibn Sayyad,
11:16he continued to live in Medina
11:19after the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
11:22And he resided in Medina.
11:25And a number of Sahaba swore by Allah
11:29that that is the Dajjal.
11:31And they considered Ibn Sayyad to be that Dajjal.
11:35And of them was Umar ibn Al-Khattab.
11:37He would make halef with Allah that that is the Dajjal.
11:40Also Jabir ibn Abdullah, the famous Sahabi.
11:44He felt that that is the actual Dajjal.
11:47And a number of other famous Sahaba.
11:50Nafi' said that I heard my master Ibn Umar,
11:54Ibn Umar is of course the son of Umar ibn Al-Khattab.
11:57So Umar and his son Abdullah ibn Umar,
12:00obviously the same family.
12:01They both thought Ibn Sayyad is that Dajjal.
12:04Nafi' is the famous slave of Ibn Umar,
12:08who was freed by Ibn Umar.
12:10And he became a great scholar.
12:13And Ibn Umar died,
12:14and Nafi' became the Shaykh of Medina.
12:16And Malik ibn Anas came studied with Nafi'
12:20and so the golden chain which you should all know,
12:22Malik ibn Anas from Nafi' from Ibn Umar.
12:25This is one of the most famous Isnads of Islamic history.
12:28And Nafi' was nothing other than a servant, a slave,
12:31whom Allah honored with knowledge.
12:33This is what knowledge does.
12:34He was purchased as a young child as a slave,
12:37but he was eager for Islam.
12:38He memorized the Quran, he memorized Hadith,
12:40and therefore every book of Hadith has Malik from Nafi' from Ibn Umar.
12:44So Nafi' said,
12:46I heard my master Ibn Umar say,
12:48Wallahi, I have no doubt that Masih ad-Dajjal is Ibn Sayyad.
12:53He's making halaf,
12:54because he heard it from his father.
12:56So Umar and his son Ibn Umar,
12:58they felt that Ibn Sayyad is none other than that ad-Dajjal.
13:03And there's a famous narration as well that is mentioned in Sahih Muslim,
13:07that once Ibn Umar met Ibn Sayyad in the streets of Medina.
13:13And he had a fight with him, verbal fight.
13:18And he made Ibn Sayyad very angry.
13:21And Ibn Sayyad walked away stomping, very angry.
13:24So Ibn Umar then visited the house of his sister Hafsa,
13:29our mother Hafsa.
13:30And Hafsa heard the news that Ibn Umar and Ibn Sayyad had a confrontation in the bazaar,
13:37in the public sphere of Medina.
13:39This is after the death of the Prophet.
13:41The news spread that Ibn Sayyad and Ibn Umar, they had it out.
13:45They were shouting and screaming.
13:46Ibn Sayyad left stomping and angry.
13:49Hafsa said to her brother that,
13:53What is the matter with you and Ibn Sayyad?
13:55Why do you have to interfere with him?
13:57Why are you getting involved in this issue?
14:00Don't you know that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
14:04so this is a hadith now,
14:06that the dajjal shall come and appear after something has caused him to become angry.
14:13Meaning why are you poking him?
14:15Why are you prodding him?
14:17Why are you getting him angry?
14:19What is your business with the man? Let him be.
14:21We don't want the dajjal to come when he's alive.
14:23Which means even Hafsa might have been sympathetic,
14:27that Ibn Sayyad is who?
14:29Is that dajjal.
14:30And that's one family, Hafsa, Ibn Umar, Umar.
14:33They're one family,
14:34and they thought that Ibn Sayyad is the actual dajjal.
