Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb set out with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and a group of his (1) (Ch. 97) 'Ikhsā' is originally used as a word of rebuke said to a dog to dismiss something. It is also used to rebuke a person who says or does something improper by which he may incur Allāh's Wrath. It means: Stop talking and go away with shame and humiliation. companions to Ibn Ṣaiyyād. They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the hillocks of Banī Maghāla. Ibn Ṣaiyyād was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ till Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allāh's Messenger?" Ibn Ṣaiyyād looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of the unlettered ones, illiterates".(1) Then Ibn Ṣaiyyād said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Do you testify that I am Allāh's Messenger?" The Prophet ﷺ denied that saying, "I believe in Allāh and all His Messengers," and then said to Ibn Ṣaiyyād, "What do you see?" Ibn Ṣaiyyād said, "True people and liars visit me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have been confused as to this matter." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ added, "I have kept something for you (in my mind)." Ibn Ṣaiyyād said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ikhsā" (you should be ashamed) for you can not cross your limits." 'Umar said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Allow me to chop off his neck." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to 'Umar), "Should this person be him (i.e., Ad-Dajjal)(2) then you cannot overpower him; and should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing him."
