`Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad.
They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad
was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) till Allah's
Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "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 unlettered ones
(illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets . "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The
Prophet denied that, saying, "I believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and then said to Ibn Saiyad,
"What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True people and liars visit me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have
been confused as to this matter." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I have kept something for you (in my
mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can
not cross your limits." `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop off h is neck." Allah's
Apostle said (to `Umar). "Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him;
and should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing him." `Abdullah bin `Umar added:
Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn
Saiyad was present.
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date-palms
intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on
his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the
Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his
murmuring. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about
him." `Abdullah added: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after
praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, "I warn you against
him, and there has been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his followers
against him but I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his people of, and
that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not so."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 199
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your example and the example of the people of the two Scriptures (i.e. Jews and
Christians) is like the example of a man who employed some laborers and asked them, 'Who will
work for me from morning till midday for one Qirat?' The Jews accepted and carried out the work. He
then asked, Who will work for me from midday up to the `Asr prayer for one Qirat?' The Christians
accepted and fulfilled the work. He then said, 'Who will work for me from the `Asr till sunset for two
Qirats?' You, Muslims have accepted the offer. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said, 'Why
should we work more and get lesser wages?' (Allah) said, 'Have I withheld part of your right?' They
replied in the negative. He said, 'It is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I wish .'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 37, Hadith 8
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to the graveyard and said: "Peace be upon you! The abode of the believing people and we, if God so wills, are about to join you. I love to see my brothers." They (the hearers) said: Aren't we your brothers, O Messenger of Allah? He said: You are my companions, and our brothers are those who have, so far, not come into the world. They said: Messenger of Allah, how would you recognise those persons of your Ummah who have not yet been born? He said: Supposing a man had horses with white blazes on foreheads and legs among horses which were all black, tell me, would he not recognise his own horses? They said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah. He said: They would come with white faces and arms and legs owing to ablution, and I would arrive at the Cistern before them. Some people would be driven away from my Cistern as the stray camel is driven away. I would call out: Come, come. Then it would be said (to me): These people changed themselves after you, and I would say: Be off, be off.
Sahih Muslim Book 2, Hadith 51
'Abd al-Rahman, I find you doing four things which I do not see anyone among your companions doing. He said: Son of Juraij, what are these? Thereupon he said: You (while circumambulating the Ka'ba) do not touch but the two pillars situated on the side of yaman (south), and I find you wearing the sandals of tanned leather, and I find you with dyed beard and head, and I also found that, when you were at Mecca, the people pronounced Talbiya as they saw the new moon (Dhu'l-Hijja), but you did not do it till the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijja. Upon this 'Abdullab b. 'Umar said: (So far as the touching of) the pillars is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) touching them but only those situated on the side of yaman. (So far as the wearing of) the shoes of tanned leather is concerned, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing shoes without hair on them, and he (wore them with wet feet) after performing ablution, and I like to wear them. So far as the yellowness is concerned, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dyeing (head, beard and cloth) with this colour and I love to dye (my head, beard or cloth) with this colour. And so far as the pronouncing of Talbiya is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pronouncing it until his camel proceeded on (to Dhu'l-Hulaifa).
Sahih Muslim Book 15, Hadith 28
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakras-Siddiq told
Abdullah ibn Umar from A'isha, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Don't you see that when your people built
the Kaba they fell short of the foundations of Ibrahim?" A'isha said,
"Messenger of Allah, won't you return it to the foundations of
Ibrahim?" and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "If it were not that your people have only recently
left kufr, I would have done so."
Salim ibn Abdullah said
that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "If A'isha heard this from the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then I consider
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
only refrained from greeting the two corners which are adjacent to the
Hijr because the House had not been completed on the foundations of
Ibrahim." (i.e. the corners he did not touch were not the original
corners of the Kaba) .
