English Translation
Abdur-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from az-Zuhri, from Salim, from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Ibn Sayyad among a group of his companions, among whom was Umar ibn al-Khattab, while he was playing with the boys near the fortress of Banu Maghalah, and he was still a boy. He did not notice until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his back with his hand, then said: Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked at him and said: I bear witness that you are the messenger of the unlettered ones. Then Ibn Sayyad said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Do you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I believe in Allah and His messengers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What comes to you? Ibn Sayyad said: A truthful one and a lying one come to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The matter has been confused for you. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have hidden something for you - and he hid for him the verse: {The Day the sky will bring a visible smoke}. Ibn Sayyad said: It is ad-dukh. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Be off, you will never exceed your limit. Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, give me permission regarding him, that I may strike off his neck. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he is the one, you will not be given power over him, and if he is not, there is no good for you in killing him. Ya'qub told us, my father told us, from Salih, Ibn Shihab said: Salim ibn Abdullah informed me that Abdullah ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out toward Ibn Sayyad - and he mentioned it. Ya'qub told us, my father told us, from Salih, Ibn Shihab said: Salim ibn Abdullah informed me that Abdullah ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, with a group of his companions among whom was Umar ibn al-Khattab, until he found Ibn Sayyad, a boy who had almost reached puberty, playing with the boys near the fortress of Banu Mu'awiyah - and he mentioned its meaning.
