Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

أتشهد أني رسول الله؟ فنظر إليه ابن صياد وقال: أشهد أنك رسول الأميين، ثم قال ابن صياد للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أتشهد أني رسول الله؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: آمنت بالله وبرسله ثم قال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ما يأتيك؟ قال ابن صياد: يأتيني صادق وكاذب، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: خلط عليك الأمر ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: قد خبأت لك خبيئا وخبأ له: {يوم تأتي السماء بدخان مبين} [الدخان: 10] ، قال ابن صياد: هو الدخ؟ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: اخسأ، فلن تعدو قدرك قال عمر: يا رسول الله، ائذن لي فأضرب عنقه، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن يكن هو فلن تسلط عليه، وإلا يكن هو فلا خير لك في قتله

Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked at him and said: I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the illiterate. Then Ibn Sayyad said to the Prophet ﷺ: Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I believe in Allah and His messengers. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: What comes to you? Ibn Sayyad said: A truthful person and a liar come to me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have become confused about the matter. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have hidden something hidden for you and he has hidden something for you: {The day the sky brings forth clear smoke} [Al-Dukhan: 10]. Ibn Sayyad said: Is it smoke? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: Be humble, and you will never exceed your destiny. Omar said: O Messenger of Allah, permit me so that I may behead him. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: If it is him, you will not have authority over him. If it is him, then there is no good for you in killing him.

اللهم أعني عليهم بسنين كسنين يوسف فأخذتهم سنة أكلوا فيها العظام والميتة، حتى جعل أحدهم يرى ما بينه وبين السماء كهيئة الدخان من الجوع، فقالوا: ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب إنا مؤمنون، فقيل له: إن كشفنا عنهم عادوا، قال: فكشف عنهم فعادوا، فانتقم الله منهم يوم بدر، فذلك قوله تعالى: {فارتقب يوم تأتي السماء بدخان مبين يغشى الناس هذا عذاب أليم} [الدخان: 11] إلى قوله: {إنكم عائدون} [الدخان: 15]

Oh Allah, help them with years like the years of Joseph, so a year took them in which they ate bones and dead things, until one of them began to see what was between him and the sky like the appearance of smoke due to hunger, and they said: Our Lord, remove the torment from us. We are believers. So it was said to him: If We remove them, they will return. He said: So he removed them, and they returned, so Allah took revenge on them on the Day of Badr. That is the Almighty’s saying: {So watch for the day when the sky will bring forth clear smoke covering the people. This is a painful punishment.} [Al-Dukhan: 11] To his saying: {Indeed, you will return} [Al-Dukhan: 15]
