Question

Could you provide the reference of the narration which mentions Ibn Sayyad had seen the throne of Iblis on the ocean?

 

Answer

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id (radiyallahu ‘anhu). Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) once encountered Ibn Sayyad on a road in Madinah. After questioning him, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked him, “What can you see?” He said, “I see a throne on water.” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “You are looking at the throne of Iblis on the ocean…”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2925. Also see: Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3, pg. 66)

 

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح مسلم:
(٢٩٢٥) 
 حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا سالم بن نوح، عن الجريري، عن أبي نضرة، عن أبي سعيد، قال: لقيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر وعمر في بعض طرق المدينة، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أتشهد أني رسول الله؟» فقال هو: أتشهد أني رسول الله؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «آمنت بالله، وملائكته، وكتبه، ما ترى؟» قال: أرى عرشا على الماء، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ترى عرش إبليس على البحر، وما ترى؟» قال: أرى صادقين وكاذبا – أو كاذبين وصادقا – فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لبس عليه، دعوه».

مسند أحمد: (٣/ ٦٦)
حدثنا يونس، حدثنا حماد، يعني ابن سلمة، عن علي، عن أبي نضرة، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لابن صائد: «ما ترى ؟» قال: أرى عرشا على البحر، حوله الحيات، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «يرى عرش إبليس».
