Sahih Muslim 2925 (Book 54, Hadith 110) #14403
Questioning Faith

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) meeting a man named Ibn Sayyad and questioning him about his faith. The Prophet then concluded that he was confused and left him.

Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger met him (Ibn Sayyad) and so did Abu Bakr and 'Umar on some of the roads of Medina. Allah's Messenger said: Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the Messenger of Allah? Thereupon he said: Do you bear testimony to the fact that I am the messenger of Allah? Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: I affirm my faith in Allah and in His Angels and in His Books, and what do you see? He said: I see the throne over water. Whereupon Allah's Messenger said: You see the throne of Iblis upon the water, and what else do you see? He said: I see two truthful and a liar or two liars and one truthful. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: Leave him He has been confounded.
