Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a Jewish woman in Medina gave birth to a boy with a deformed eye and prominent canine teeth. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) feared he might be the Dajjal. He found him under a velvet sheet, murmuring. His mother announced him, saying, “O Abdullah, this is Abu al-Qasim.” He emerged from the sheet, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “What is wrong with her? May Allah fight her! If she had left him, it would have become clear.” The narration continues with the meaning of Ibn Umar’s Hadith. Umar ibn al-Khattab said, “Permit me, O Messenger of Allah, to kill him.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “If he is the one, you are not his master; his master is Jesus, son of Mary. If he is not, you have no right to kill a man under a covenant.” He remained apprehensive that he was the Dajjal.
