He was four or five years old, and he was still in Bani Saad. Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Jibrīl came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) while he was playing with his playmates. He took hold of him, laid him on the ground, split open his chest, took the heart out and then extracted a blood clot out of it and said: “That was the devil’s share in you.” Then he washed it with Zamzam water in a golden basin and then joined the wounded parts together after he restored the heart to its place. The boys came running to his mother, i.e. his wet nurse, and said: “Muhammad has been killed.” They rushed to him and found his color was changed.
Halima feared for him after this incident, and took him back to his mother, so he stayed with his mother until he was six years old.
كان عمره عليه الصلاة والسلام اربع او خمس سنوات ، وكان مازال في بني سعد ، روى مسلم عن أنس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه، أتاه جبريل ، وهو يلعب مع الغلمان، فأخذه فصرعه، فشق عن قلبه ، فاستخرج القلب ، فاستخرج منه علقة ، فقال : هذا حظ الشيطان منك ، ثم غسله في طست من ذهب بماء زمزم، ثم لامه، ثم أعاده إلى مكانه، وجاء الغلمان يسعون إلى حليمة ، فقالوا ان محمدا قد قتل، فوجدته حليمة وهو منتقع اللون
وخشيت عليه حليمة بعد هذه الوقعة، فردته إلى أمه ، فكان عند أمه آمنة إلى أن بلغ ست سنوات.
