[Machine] He informed him that Umar set off with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a group led by Ibn Sayyad until they found him playing with the boys at the Uthum of Bani Maghala. Ibn Sayyad approached him on that day feeling important until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck him on the back with his hand. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Ibn Sayyad, "Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" Ibn Sayyad said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ shook him and said, "I believe in Allah and His Messenger." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What do you see?" Ibn Sayyad said, "A truthful and a liar come to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "The matter is confused for you." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "I have hidden something for you." Ibn Sayyad said, "It is the Dukh." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Be doomed, as you will never exceed your limit." Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "Leave it, O Messenger of Allah, let me strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "If you catch him, you will not be able to dominate him, and if you do not catch him, there will be no good for you in killing him."
