English translation
1882. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjāl, and among the many things he mentioned, was his saying, "Ad-Dajjāl will come and it will be forbidden for him to pass through the entrances of Al-Madina. He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside) Al-Madina; on that day the best man or one of the best men will come up to him and say, 'I testify that you are the same Ad-Dajjāl whose description was given to us by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ.' Ad-Dajjāl will say to the people, 'If I kill this man and bring him back to life again, will you doubt my claim?' They will say, 'No.' Then Ad-Dajjāl will kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will say, 'Now I know your reality better than before.' Ad-Dajjāl will say, 'I want to kill him (again) but I cannot.'"
