I met Ibn Sayyad twice. On one occasion, I met him while he was with his companions, and he mentioned the hadith. He said, "He let out a snort like the loudest braying of a donkey I had ever heard."He said, "My companions claimed that I struck him with a staff I had with me until it broke, but I myself was unaware of having done so."Then I went in to my sister Hafsah, Umm Muiminin, and told her about it.She said, "What did you want with him? Don't you know that he said the first time he will go forth against people will be on account of some anger that overtakes him?"
حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي مرة أخرى حدثنا عبد الوهاب الخفاف عن ابن عون عن نافع
لقيت ابن صائد مرتين فأما مرة فلقيته ومعه أصحابه فذكر الحديث قال ونخر كأشد نخير حمار سمعته قال فزعم أصحابي أني ضربته بعصا كانت معي حتى انكسرت وأما أنا فلم أشعر بذلك فدخلت على أختي حفصة أم المؤمنين فأخبرتها بذلك فقالت وما أردت إليه أما علمت أنه قال إن أول خروجه على الناس لغضبة يغضبها
