حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " لَبِثَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ، وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"The first one to deny something was Adam (عليه السلام).” He said it three times. "When Allah created him, He wiped his back, and brought forth all of his progeny and showed them to him. Among them he saw a man with a bright, white face, and he said: "O Lord, who is this?" He said: ‘This is your son Dawood.’ He said: ‘O Lord, how long will his life be?" He said: “Sixty years. He said: ‘O Lord, make his life longer. He said: 'No, not unless I take it from your life.' So he gave him forty years from his own life and Allah recorded that in a Book and the angels bore witness to it. When He wanted to take his (Adam's) soul, he said: ‘There are still forty years of my life left.’ It was said to him: ‘You gave that to your son Dawood.' But he denied it. Then Allah brought forth the Book and established proof against him, and He completed it for Dawood as one hundred years, and He completed it for Adam (عليه السلام) as one thousand years.”
