بَابُ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ الصَّبِيُّ فَمَاتَ هَلْ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَهَلْ يُعْرَضُ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ الإِسْلاَمُ:Chapter. If a boy becomes a Muslim and then dies, should a funeral prayer be offered for him? Should Islam be explained to a boy (below the age of puberty)?
Hadith 1355
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ سَالِمٌ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا , يَقُولُ : انْطَلَقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِلَى النَّخْلِ الَّتِي فِيهَا ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ ، وَهُوَ يَخْتِلُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ مِنْ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ شَيْئًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرَاهُ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ ، فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ يَعْنِي : فِي قَطِيفَةٍ لَهُ فِيهَا رَمْزَةٌ أَوْ زَمْرَةٌ ، فَرَأَتْ أمُّ ابْنِ صَيّادٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَّقِي بِجُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ ، فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِ صَيَّادٍ : يَا صَافِ وَهُوَ اسْمُ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَثَارَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ , فَقَالَ : النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ بَيَّنَ ، وَقَالَ شُعَيْبٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : فَرَفَصَهُ رَمْرَمَةٌ أَوْ زَمْزَمَةٌ ، وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ الْكَلْبِيُّ وَعُقَيْلٌ : رَمْرَمَةٌ ، وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : رَمْزَةٌ .
(Ibn `Umar added): Later on Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) once again went along with Ubai bin Ka`b to the date-palm trees (garden) where Ibn Saiyad was staying. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) wanted to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before Ibn Saiyad could see him, and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw him lying covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw Allah's Apostle while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palm trees. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, "O Saf ! (and this was the name of Ibn Saiyad) Here is Muhammad." And with that Ibn Saiyad got up. The Prophet said, "Had this woman left him (Had she not disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad would have revealed the reality of his case.

Hadith Commentary:
Ibn Sayyad was a Jewish boy who used to mislead the public in Madinah by speaking deceitful and fraudulent things. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) presented Islam to him. At that time, he was a minor. From this, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah)'s purpose for the chapter is established. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) became disappointed regarding him, that he would not bring faith, or the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) left him without giving a definitive answer, meaning he neither said yes nor no regarding him, but only said: "I believe in all the Prophets of Allah."
In some narrations, the word "farfasahu" is with a sad (ص) without a dot, meaning he (the Prophet) gave him a shove. Some have said that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) pressed and squeezed him. Whatever the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked him, his sole purpose was that his falsehood be exposed and his claim to prophethood be proven false. Ibn Sayyad replied that sometimes he saw true dreams and sometimes false ones; this person was a soothsayer (kahin), and devils (shayatin) used to give him both true and false information.
Instead of "dukhan" (smoke), he only said the word "dukh." The devils have only so much power that they snatch one or two words, and then mix falsehood with it and spread it (summary of Wahidi). Further details will come elsewhere.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Ibn Sayyad was a Jewish boy who used to mislead people in Madinah Munawwarah by speaking deceitful and fraudulent things. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exposed his lies and proved the falsehood of his claim to prophethood, and then presented Islam to him. If the Islam of a child were not valid, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would not have presented Islam to him. From this, the claim of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) is established that the acceptance of Islam by a child is valid, and it is also permissible to invite him to Islam.
(2)
Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) wanted to kill Ibn Sayyad because he suspected that he was the great Dajjal, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade him, because at that time he was a minor, and it is not permissible to kill a minor for any reason. Besides this, at that time there was also a treaty with the Jews of Madinah. In the early period, his circumstances were ambiguous. On this basis, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) that if he is the great Dajjal, then he will be killed by Hazrat Isa (alayhis salam). In a forthcoming narration of Sahih Bukhari, it is explicitly stated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) informed regarding Isa (alayhis salam) that he will kill the great Dajjal, so how would it be appropriate that, by your indication or permission, another person kills him? Other discussions regarding Ibn Sayyad and the great Dajjal will be presented later, insha Allah.
