Combining the report that the Messenger saw the Dajjal while he was circumambulating with the fact that he does not enter Makkah

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, how do we reconcile the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was shown the Messiah al-Dajjal in a dream, where he was circumambulating the Ka'bah with his hands on the shoulders of two men, as reported in the summary of Imam Muslim's Sahih, with the fact that he does not enter Makkah or al-Madinah during the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) at the end of time? Please inform us, may Allah increase you in knowledge?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see the Messiah al-Dajjal, but rather he saw Ibn Sayyad. There is a difference of opinion regarding Ibn Sayyad as to whether he is the Messiah al-Dajjal or someone else; Allah knows best.
