Muḥammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us; Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Qatādah, who said: I heard Anas say that the Messenger of Allah said: “Every prophet warned his community about the one-eyed impostor. Take note: he is one-eyed, while your Lord is not one-eyed. The letters K-F-R are written between his eyes.”

This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
