Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: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 date-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)

Abdullah bin Umar bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool aur Ubai bin Ka'b Al-Ansari us baag mein gaye jahan Ibn Saiyad rehta tha. Jab Allah ke Rasool andar daakhil hue, unhone khajoor ke darakhton ke peechhe chhupna shuru kiya taake Ibn Saiyad ke dekhne se pehle uski baatein chupkar sun sakein. Ibn Saiyad ek narm sajaawati chadar mein lipta apne bistar par leta bud-buda raha tha. Ibn Saiyad ki maa ne Nabi ko khajoor ke tano ke peechhe chhupte dekha. Usne Ibn Saiyad se kaha: "Aye Saf, yeh Muhammad hain." Yeh sunkar Ibn Saiyad ruk gaya (ya hoshiyaar ho gaya), Nabi ne kaha: "Agar usne use pareshan na kiya hota, woh apni asliyat zaahir kar deta."
