باب ذِكْرِ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ:Chapter: Ibn Sayyad
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ نُوحٍ ، عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : لَقِيَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فِي بَعْضِ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ هُوَ : أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ ، مَا تَرَى ؟ " ، قَالَ : أَرَى عَرْشًا عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَرَى عَرْشَ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ ، وَمَا تَرَى ؟ " ، قَالَ : أَرَى صَادِقَيْنِ وَكَاذِبًا أَوْ كَاذِبَيْنِ ، وَصَادِقًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لُبِسَ عَلَيْهِ دَعُوهُ " ،
Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met him (Ibn Sayyad) and so did Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar on some of the roads of Madinah. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) Thereupon he said: Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the messenger of Allah? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I affirm my faith in Allah and in His Angels and in His Books, and what do you see? He said: I see the throne over water. Whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: You see the throne of Iblis upon the water, and what else do you see? He said: I see two truthful ones and a liar or two liars and one truthful. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Leave him He has been confounded.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
Ibn Sayyad repeated the very same question of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
He did not explicitly claim prophethood,
Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also did not explicitly deny his prophethood,
He stated a fundamental principle and overlooked him.
