Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39734 — Reports on Taif

Abd al-Malik narrates that while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was besieging Banu Thaqif, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Since I camped at this place, I have not seen the angel." The narrator says: (On hearing this) Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim al-Sulamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) went and told this to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned Khawlah's words to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Khawlah speaks the truth." Then Sayyiduna Umar advised him (peace and blessings be upon him) to depart, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) departed.
