Volume 4, Book 52, Number 289:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
‘Umar saw a silken cloak being sold in the market and he brought it to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Buy this cloak and adorn yourself with it on the ‘Id festivals and on meeting the del –
egations.” Allah’s Apostle replied, “This is the dress for the one who will have no share in the Here –
after (or, this is worn by one who will have no share in the Hereafter).” After sometime had passed,
Allah’s Apostle sent a silken cloak to ‘Umar. ‘Umar took it and brought it to Allah’s Apostle and said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! You have said that this is the dress of that who will have no share in the Hereafter
(or, this is worn by one who will have no share in the Hereafter), yet you have sent me this!” The
Prophet said,” I have sent it) so that you may sell it or fulfill with it some of your needs.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 290d:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet 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 stroked him on the
back with his hand and said, “Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah’s Apostle?” 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 said
to him, “I believe in Allah and His Apostles.” Then the Prophet 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 added, ” I have kept something (in my mind) for you.” Ibn Saiyad said, “It
is Ad-Dukh.” The Prophet said (to him), “Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits.” On that
‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.” The Prophet 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.”
