The Story of Ibn Sayyad http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundame…t.html#041.6990
{Hadith about Ibn Sayyad, The character whom Caliph Umar(Radiallah Anhu) strongly suspected of being dajjal, strong enough to swear by Allah in the presence of the Prophet(salalahu alaih wasalam). And the prophet(salalahu alaih wasalam) did not object to this)
Re: is ibn sayyad dajjal because i am confused
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said one day from the pulpit: When some people were sailing in the sea, their food was finished. An island appeared to them. They went out seeking bread. They were met by the Jassasah (the Antichrist's spy).
I said to AbuSalamah: What is the Jassasah? He replied: A woman trailing the hair of her skin and of her head. She said: In this castle. He then narrated the rest of the (No. 4311) tradition. He asked about the palm-trees of Baysan and the spring of Zughar. He said: He is the Antichrist. Ibn Salamah said to me: There is something more in this tradition, which I could not remember. He said: Jabir testified that it was he who was Ibn Sayyad.
I said: He died. He said: Let him die. I said: He accepted Islam. He said: Let him accept Islam. I said: He entered Medina. He said: Let him enter Medina.

Re: is ibn sayyad dajjal because i am confused
If he was the dajjal then Umar(R.A) would not have been able to kill him as this feat will only be achieved by Jesus(PBUH).And if he wasn't the dajjal then killing him would be wrong that is why Prophet(saw) restrained Umar(R.A)
so according to this reasoning this person was not Dajjal.
