Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ،، ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ: ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتْنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ، كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ (١) بُطُونِهِمْ، قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ، فَتَحَدَّثُوا بَيْنَهُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: تُرَى أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ: أُرَاهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا، وَلَا يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا، قَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا مِنْهُ، إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُهُ كُلَّهُ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ} [فصلت: ٢٢] ، حَتَّى {الْخَاسِرِينَ} [فصلت: ٢٣] " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

Whilst the Prophet (ﷺ) was in some farmland, leaning on a palm tree branch, some of the Jews came to him and asked him about the spirit. He remained silent, then he recited this verse to them: "And they ask you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) concerning the Rooh (the spirit). Say: "The Rooh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little” (al-Isra' 17:85).
