Sahih al-Bukhari 3355
حَدَّثَنِي بَيَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ وَذَكَرُوا لَهُ الدَّجَّالَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ كَافِرٌ أَوْ ك ف ر. قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ " أَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَجَعْدٌ آدَمُ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ مَخْطُومٍ بِخُلْبَةٍ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ انْحَدَرَ فِي الْوَادِي ".
Bayan ibn ʿAmr narrated to me: al-Nadr narrated to us: Ibn ʿAwn informed us, from Mujahid, who said that he heard Ibn ʿAbbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). The Dajjal was mentioned to him, and they said that the word ‘disbeliever’—or the letters k-f-r—was written between his eyes. He said: ‘I did not hear that. Rather, he said: As for Ibrahim, look at your companion. As for Musa, he was curly-haired and dark-complexioned, riding a red camel with a halter of twisted fiber. I can almost see him descending into the valley.’
Translation notes
Preserved Ibn ʿAbbas’s denial that he had heard the claim about the Dajjal’s forehead, and rendered خُلْبَة as twisted fiber without further identification.
