تقوية الأمة

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari went to the garden where Ibn Saiyad used to live. When
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered (the garden), he (i.e. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) started hiding himself behind the date108
palms as he wanted to hear secretly the talk of Ibn Saiyad before the latter saw him. Ibn Saiyad
wrapped with a soft decorated sheet was lying on his bed murmuring. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the
Prophet hiding behind the stems of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad saying, "O Saf, this is
Muhammad." Hearing that Ibn Saiyad stopped murmuring (or got cautious), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If she
had left him undisturbed, he would have revealed his reality." (See Hadith No. 290, Vol 4 for details)
