How can the Prophet’s (PBUH) doubt that Ibn Sayyad was the Antichrist (Dajjal) be reconciled with the Companion Tamim Al-Dari’s affirmation that he saw the Antichrist (Dajjal) on an island in Al-Jassasah? And what is the authenticity of the widely circulated story about the Antichrist (Dajjal) that narrates details of his life from before the mission of Moses (PBUH), his encounters with prophets, his travels around the world, his meeting with Iblis, and his building of his colony, knowing that it is distributed on Islamic CDs?

The story of Ibn Sayyad caused confusion for many Companions, who thought he was the Dajjal (Antichrist). Among those who held this view were Umar, his son, Jabir, and Abu Dharr. Muslim narrated that Jabir swore by Allah that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal, and said: "I heard Umar swear to that effect in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not disapprove of it." Al-Nawawi commented that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was hesitant about his matter, then clarity came to him that he was not the Dajjal. The preponderant opinion is that Ibn Sayyad is a dajjal (impostor) but not the Dajjal (the Antichrist). As for what was mentioned on the aforementioned website, that the Dajjal's parents remain for thirty years without children being born to them, then a one-eyed boy is born to them, and that his father is tall with agitated flesh and a long nose, and his mother is large-breasted and stout, this hadith has been weakened by scholars.
