7132. Narrated Abū Sa'īd: One day Allāh's Messenger ﷺ narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjāl and among the things he narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjāl will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes or the entrances of Al-Madina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighbouring Al-Madina, and there will come to him a man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say, 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjāl whose story Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has told us.' Ad-Dajjāl will say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No.' Then Ad-Dajjāl will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allāh, now I recognize you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjāl will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so.'" (See H. 1882)
