Ibn `Abbas said, "Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!" Then he started weeping till
his tears wetted the gravels of the ground . Then he said, "On Thursday the illness of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
was aggravated and he said, "Fetch me writing materials so that I may have something written to you
after which you will never go astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter and people
should not differ before a prophet. They said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is seriously sick.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Let me alone, as the state in which I am now, is better than what you are calling me for." The Prophet (ﷺ)
on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and
give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them." I forgot the third (order)"
(Ya'qub bin Muhammad said, "I asked Al-Mughira bin `Abdur-Rahman about the Arabian Peninsula
and he said, 'It comprises Mecca, Medina, Al-Yama-ma and Yemen." Ya'qub added, "And Al-Arj, the
beginning of Tihama.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 259
Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) set out with the
Prophet to Ibn Saiyad. He found him playing with some boys near the
hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his
puberty. He did not notice (the Prophet's presence) till the Prophet (ﷺ)
stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Ibn Saiyad! Do you
testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said,
"I testify that you are the Apostle of the illiterates."
Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet. "Do you testify that I am the
apostle of Allah?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I believe in Allah and
His Apostles." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Ibn Saiyad). "What do you
see?" Ibn Saiyad replied, "True people and false ones visit me." The
Prophet said, "Your mind is confused as to this matter." The Prophet (ﷺ)
added, " I have kept something (in my mind) for you." Ibn Saiyad said,
"It is Ad-Dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Shame be on you! You
cannot cross your limits." On that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If he should be him
(i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be
him, then you are not going to benefit by murdering him."
