2247. It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ met Ibn Ṣā'id on one of the streets of Al-Madīnah, so he stopped him – and he was a Jewish boy with locks – and Abū Bakr and
‘Umar were with him. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: ‘Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allāh?’ So he replied: ‘Do you testify that I am Allāh’s messenger?’ So the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘I believe in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day.’ Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him: ‘What do you see?’ He said: ‘I see a throne above the water.’ So the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘He sees the throne of Iblīs above the sea.’ He said: ‘What else do you see?’ He said: ‘I see a truthful one, and two liars – or two truthful ones and a liar.’ So the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘He has been confounded. So leave him.’” (Sahīh)
[He said:] There is a narration on this topic from ‘Umar, Ḥusain bin ‘Ali, Ibn ‘Umar, Abū Dharr, Ibn Mas’ud, Jābir and Ḥafṣah.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan.

Commentary
The day the Prophet ﷺ met Ibn Sā’id out on the street, he was a Jewish boy. The Prophet ﷺ had a treaty of peace with the Jews at that time. Hence it is, that when he claimed himself to be a messenger of Allāh, the Prophet ﷺ took no action against him.
