Hadith 7355

Whoever thinks that if the Prophet ﷺ did not disapprove of something (said or done in his presence), his silence indicated that it was permissible, but if another person faced a similar situation, his silence should not be taken as a sign of his agreement.

7355. Narrated Muḥammad bin Al-Munkadīr: I saw Jābir bin 'Abdullāh swearing by Allāh that Ibn Ṣaiyyād was Dajjāl. I said to Jābir, "How can you swear by Allāh?" Jābir said, "I have heard 'Umar swearing by Allāh regarding this matter in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ did not disapprove of it."(1)

7355 - حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ المُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ: أَنَّ ابْنَ الصَّائِدِ الدَّجَّالُ، قُلْتُ: تَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

(1) (H.7355) Perhaps Jābir and 'Umar thought that Ibn Ṣaiyyād will be of the minor Dajjāl, who will be thirty or more according to the Prophet's saying, and who will appear before the appearance of the real (major) Dajjāl.
