أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَكِيمُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ
«انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ » لَقَدْ عُرِضَتَ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ شِئْتُ لَتَعَاطَيْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَلَوْلَا أَنِّي دَفَعْتُهَا عَنْكُمْ لَغَشِيَتْكُمْ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَةً يُعَذَّبُونَ امْرَأَةً حِمْيَرِيَّةً سَوْدَاءَ طَوِيلَةً تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ لَهَا أَوْثَقَتْهَا فَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَهِيَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ صَاحِبَ السَّائِبِتَيْنِ يُدْفَعُ بِعَمُودَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ وَالسَّائِبَتَانِ بَدَنَتَانِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرَقَهُمَا وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ وَكَانَ صَاحِبُ الْمِحْجَنِ يَسْرِقُ مَتَاعَ الْجّاجِّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ فَإِذَا خَفِيَ لَهُ ذَهَبَ بِهِ وَإِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْرِقْ إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنِي

✧ “The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood, and we stood with him, and he prayed. Then he turned to us and began narrating to us, saying, ‘Paradise was brought near to me, so much so that if I had wished, I could have plucked a bunch of its fruits. And the Fire was shown to me, and had I not warded it off from you, it would have overwhelmed you. In it I saw three people being punished: a tall, black Ḥimyarite woman being punished because of a cat she had tied up. She neither let it eat from the vermin of the earth nor fed it until it died. So whenever it comes toward her, it bites her, and whenever she turns away, it bites her. I saw the brother of Banū Daʿdaʿ, the owner of the two sāʾibahs, being pushed with two pillars in the Fire. The two sāʾibahs were two camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which he stole. And I saw the owner of the hooked staff leaning on his staff. The owner of the hooked staff used to steal the belongings of pilgrims with his hooked staff. When it was unnoticed, he would take it away, and when it was discovered, he would say, “I did not steal; it merely got caught on my staff.”’”

عطاء بن السائب مختلف فيه في الاحتجاج به وقد اختلط في آخر عمره لكن أورده ابن خزيمة من رواية سفيان الثوري عنه وهو ممن سمع منه قبل اختلاطه وأبوه وثقه العجلي وابن حبان
machine translationʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib is disputed as to whether he can be used as evidence, and he became confused (ikhtalaṭa) at the end of his life. However, Ibn Khuzaymah reported it from the narration of Sufyān al-Thawrī from him, and he is among those who heard from him before his confusion. As for his father, al-ʿIjlī and Ibn Ḥibbān declared him trustworthy (thiqah).
