`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
Either the owner of the
wares says to the borrower, 'Take these wares and sell them. Buy and
sell with the capital realized according to qirad.' The investor
stipulates increase for himself from the sale of his goods and what
relieves him of expenses in selling it. Or else he says, 'Barter with
these goods and sell. When you are through, buy for me the like of my
goods which I gave you. If there is increase, it is between you and
me. 'It may happen that the investor gives the goods to the agent at a
time in which they are in demand and expensive, and then the agent
returns them while they are cheap and he might have bought them for
only a third of the original price or even less than that. The agent
then has a profit of half the amount by which the price of the wares
has decreased as his portion of the profit. Or he might take the wares
at a time when their price is low, and make use of them until he has a
lot of money. Then those wares become expensive and their price rises
when he returns them, so he buys them for all that he has so that all
his work and concern have been in vain. This is an uncertain
transaction and is not good. If, however, that is not known until it
has happened, then the wage an agent in qirad would be paid for
selling that, is looked at and he is given it for his concern. Then
the money is qirad from the day the money became cash and collected as
coin and it is returned as a qirad like that."
Muwatta Malik Book 32, Hadith 7
I went to `Aisha and asked her to describe to me the illness of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). `Aisha said, "Yes. The
Prophet became seriously ill and asked whether the people had prayed. We replied, 'No. O Allah's
Apostle! They are waiting for you.' He added, 'Put water for me in a trough." `Aisha added, "We did
so. He took a bath and tried to get up but fainted. When he recovered, he again asked whether the
people had prayed. We said, 'No, they are waiting for you. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ),' He again said, 'Put
water in a trough for me.' He sat down and took a bath and tried to get up but fainted again. Then he
recovered and said, 'Have the people prayed?' We replied, 'No, they are waiting for you. O Allah's
Apostle.' He said, 'Put water for me in the trough.' Then he sat down and washed himself and tried to
get up but he fainted. When he recovered, he asked, 'Have the people prayed?' We said, 'No, they are
waiting for you. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The people were in the mosque waiting for the Prophet (ﷺ) for the
`Isha prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent for Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer. The messenger went to
Abu Bakr and said, 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) orders you to lead the people in the prayer.' Abu Bakr was a
softhearted man, so he asked `Umar to lead the prayer but `Umar replied, 'You are more rightful.' So
Abu Bakr led the prayer in those days. When the Prophet (ﷺ) felt a bit better, he came out for the Zuhr
prayer with the help of two persons one of whom was Al-`Abbas. while Abu Bakr was leading the
people in the prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him he wanted to retreat but the Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him not
to do so and asked them to make him sit beside Abu Bakr and they did so. Abu Bakr was following
the Prophet (in the prayer) and the people were following Abu Bakr. The Prophet (prayed) sitting."
'Ubaidullah added "I went to `Abdullah bin `Abbas and asked him, Shall I tell you what Aisha has told
me about the fatal illness of the Prophet?' Ibn `Abbas said, 'Go ahead. I told him her narration and he
did not deny anything of it but asked whether `Aisha told me the name of the second person (who
helped the Prophet (ﷺ) ) along with Al-Abbas. I said. 'No.' He said, 'He was `Ali (Ibn Abi Talib).
