حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْمَرْزُبَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِيَهُودَ: أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَتْ: سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ، فَسَأَلُوهُ، وَنَزَلَتْ: وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلا قَلِيلا قَالُوا: لَمْ نُؤْتَ نَحْنُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا، وَقَدْ أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ، وَمَنْ يُؤْتَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، فَنَزَلَتْ: قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي الْآيَةَ

✧ Quraysh said to the Jews: Give us something to ask this man about. They said: Ask him about the soul. So they asked him, and it was revealed: 'And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is of the affair of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little.' They said: We have not been given of knowledge except a little, yet we have been given the Torah, and whoever is given the Torah has been given much good. So it was revealed: 'Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord...' the verse.
