Summary
The story of Ukasyah asking to retaliate and then kissing the Prophet's belly is judged to be fabricated. It is narrated by al-Thabarani, but its chain includes Abd al-Mun'im bin Idris, who is regarded as a liar and forger of hadith, and the text itself bears signs of fabrication. It must not be conveyed to others except to point out that it is false. A similar account actually concerns Usaid bin Hudhair and is recorded by Abu Daud.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kisah Ukasyah ini adalah palsu dan tidak boleh sama sekali kita menyampaikannya kepada orang lain melainkan untuk menyatakan kepalsuannya.
