حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَمَعَهُ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حَتَّى وَجَدَ ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ غُلاَمًا قَدْ نَاهَزَ الْحُلُمَ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ عِنْدَ أُطُمِ بَنِى مُعَاوِيَةَ. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ إِلَى مُنْتَهَى حَدِيثِ عُمَرَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَفِى الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ قَالَ أُبَىٌّ - يَعْنِى فِى قَوْلِهِ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ بَيَّنَ - قَالَ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَيَّنَ أَمْرَهُ.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) set out with a group of his Companions, among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, to find Ibn Sayyad who was a young boy on the brink of adolescence, playing with the boys on the battlement of Bam1 Mu'awiyah." And he quoted a Hadith like that of Yunus (no. 7354), to the end of the Hadith of 'Umar bin Thabit (no. 7356). In the Hadith from Ya'qub it says: "Ubayy said:" - concerning the words: "... if she had left him the matter would have become clear" "... if his mother had left him, his case would have become clear."
