حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي سَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مَرَّةً إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ فَرَاعِنَةِ الْعَرَبِ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَادْعُهُ لِي، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ أَعْتَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَادْعُهُ لِي. قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَدْعُوكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ رَسُولِ اللهِ: وَمَا اللهُ ؟ أَمِنْ ذَهَبٍ هُوَ ؟ أَمْ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ هُوَ ؟ أَمِنْ نُحَاسٍ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنَّهُ أَعْتَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنَّهُ أَعْتَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَادْعُهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ، قَالَ: فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الْكَلَامَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ بَعَثَ اللهُ سَحَابَةً حِيَالَ رَأْسِهِ، فَرَعَدَتْ، فَوَقَعَتْ مِنْهَا صَاعِقَةٌ، فَذَهَبَتْ بِقِحْفِ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ الْآيَةَ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ once sent a man to one of the pharaohs of the Arabs, saying: Go and call him to me. He said: O Messenger of God, he is more arrogant than that. He said: Go and call him to me. He said: So he went to him and said: The Messenger of God ﷺ calls you. The man said to the messenger of the Messenger of God: What is God? Is He of gold, or of silver, or of copper? He said: He returned to the Messenger of God ﷺ and told him, saying: O Messenger of God, I told you that he is more arrogant than that. He said to me such-and-such. He said: Return to him a second time. He said to him the like of it. He returned to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: O Messenger of God, I told you that he is more arrogant than that. He said: Return to him and call him. So he returned to him a third time. He said: He repeated that speech to him. While he was talking to him, God sent a cloud over his head. It thundered, and a thunderbolt fell from it and carried away the top of his skull. Then God sent down: And He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills—the verse.
