٢٥٩٨ - عبد الرزاق بن هَمَّام بن نافع (١). [روى عن ابن جريج ومعمر وغيرهما، وعنه أحمد وإسحاق والزهري. وصنَّف الكتب، مات سنة إحدى عشرة ومائتين، وله خمس وثمانون سنة].
عبد الرزاق بن همام بن نافع أبو بكر الحميري مولاهم الصنعاني أحد الثقات المشهورين، قدم الشام تاجراً.روى عن معمر، عن همام قال: سمعت أبا هريرة يقول: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " إذا قام أحدكم من الليل، واستعجم القرآن على لسانه، فلم يدر ما يقول فلينصرف، فليضطجع " وروى عن معمر بسنده عن ابن عمر قال: نهى رسول الله ﷺ أن يجلس الرجل في الصلاة وهو معتمد على يديه. وروى محمد بن عبيد الصنعاني قال: دفع سفيان الثوري إلى عبد الرزاق بن همام أربعمائة درهم ليشتري له بالشام أثواباً، فلم يجد عبد الرازق ما سمى سفيان، فاشترى بردين، فلما قدم عبد الرزاق من الشام، ودخل مكة وجد مشترى لهذين الثوبين، فباعهما بسبعمائة دينار قبل أن يصير إلى سفيان، فلما صار إلى سفيان قال له سفيان: يا عبد الرازق، كأن نفسي تحدثني مع ربح كثير، فهات بضاعتي التي أمرتك. فقال له عبد الرازق: قد أغناك الله، يا أبا عبد الله، خذ سبعمائة دينار. فقال سفيان: هذا من أين؟ فقال عبد الرازق: اشتريت لك ثوبين بردٍ، وبعتها هنا بسبعمائة دينار، والذي أمرتني لم أجد، فقد أغناك الله، وخذ من حيث شئت، فقال سفيان: يا عبد الرازق، أما تعلم أن أبا الزبير حدثني عن جابر أن رسول الله ﷺ نهى عن ريح ما لم يضمن؟ رد علي رأس مالي، والباقي لك. ففعل عبد الرزاق. ولد عبد الرزاق سنة ست وعشرين ومائة، ومات سنة إحدى عشرة ومائتين. وهو مولى لقومٍ من العرب. قال أحمد: عبد الرازق يماني من الأبنا…

`Umar set out along with the Prophet (ﷺ) with a group of people to Ibn Saiyad till they saw him playing with the boys near the hillocks of Bani Mughala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his puberty and did not notice (us) until the Prophet (ﷺ) stroked him with his hand and said to him, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of illiterates." Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet (ﷺ), "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger?" The Prophet (ﷺ) refuted it and said, "I believe in Allah and His Messengers." Then he said (to Ibn Saiyad), "What do you think?" Ibn Saiyad answered, "True people and liars visit me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have been confused as to this matter." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I have kept something (in my mind) for you, (can you tell me that?)" Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Al-Dukh (the smoke)." (2) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let you be in ignominy. You cannot cross your limits." On that `Umar, said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If he is he (i.e. Dajjal), then you cannot overpower him, and if he is not, then there is no use of murdering him." (Ibn `Umar added): Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) once again went along with Ubai bin Ka`b to the date-palm trees (garden) where Ibn Saiyad was staying. The Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before Ibn Saiyad could see him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) saw him lying covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) said, "Had this woman left him (Had she not disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad would have revealed the reality of his case.
Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of the illiterates." Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet. "Do you testify that I am the apostle of Allah?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I believe in Allah and His Messengers." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Ibn Saiyad). "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad replied, "True people and false ones visit me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your mind is confused as to this matter." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, " I have kept something (in my mind) for you." Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Ad-Dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits." On that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet (ﷺ) 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."
'Umar b. Khattab went along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the company of some persons to Ibn Sayyad that he found him playing with children near the battlement of Bani Maghala and Ibn Sayyad was at that time just at the threshold of adolescence and he did not perceive (the presence of Prophet) until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) struck his back with his hands. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Ibn Sayyad, don't you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked toward him and he said: I bear witness to the fact that you the messenger of the unlettered. Ibn Sayyad said to the Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): Do you bear witness to the fact that I am the messenger of Allah? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rejected this and said: I affirm my faith in Allah and in His messengers. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: What do you see? Ibn Sayyad said: It is a Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: May you be disgraced and dishonoured, you would not not be able to go beyond your rank. 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , permit me that I should strike his neck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he is the same (Dajjal) who would appear near the Last Hour, you would not be able to overpower him, and if he is not that there is no good for you to kill him. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar further narrated that after some time Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubayy b. Ka'b went towards the palm trees where Ibn Sayyad was. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went near the tree he hid himself behind a tree with the intention of hearing something from Ibn sayyad before Ibn Sayyad could see him, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him on a bed with a blanket around him from which a murmuring sound was being heard and Ibn Sayyad's mother saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) behind the trunk of the palm tree. She said to Ibn Sayyad: Saf (that being his name), here is Muhammad. Thereupon Ibn Sayyad jumped up murmuring and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If she had left him alone he would have made things clear. Abdullah b. Umar told that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up amongst the people and lauded Allah as He deserved, then he made a mention of the Dajjal and said: I warn you of him and there is no Prophet (ﷺ) who has not warned his people against the Dajjal. Even Noah warned (against him) but I am going to tell you a thing which no Prophet (ﷺ) told his people. You must know that he (the Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, is not one-eyed. Ibn Shihab said: 'Umar b. Thabit al-Ansari informed me that some of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) informed him that the day when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) warned people against the Dajjal, he also said: There would be written between his two eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel) and everyone who would resent his deeds would be able to read or every Muslim would be about to read, and he also said: Bear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, until he dies.
It is related that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar reported that 'Umar went with the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), with a group to visit Ibn Sayyad. They found him playing with some children in the hills of Banu Maghala. Ibn Sayyad, who was approaching puberty, did not notice them until the Prophet, (ﷺ), patted him with his hand and then said to him, 'Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?' Ibn Sayyad looked at him and said, 'I testify that you are the Messenger of the unlettered.' Ibn Sayyad said to the Prophet, 'Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He refuted it and said, 'I have believed in Allah and His Messengers.' Then he said to him, 'What dreams do you have?' Ibn Sayyad replied, 'Both truthful people and liars come to me.' The Prophet, (ﷺ), said, 'You are in a state of confusion.' Then the Prophet, (ﷺ), said to him, 'I am concealing something from you.' Ibn Sayyad said, 'It is just smoke.' He said, 'Shame on you! You will not go too far.' 'Umar said, 'Messenger of Allah, let me cut his head off?' The Prophet, (ﷺ), said, 'If it is him (i.e. the Dajjal), you will not be able to get the better of him. If it is not him, there is no point in killing him.'"
