حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ لَهُ، فَانْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ، فَاتَّكَأَ عَلَى الْعَسِيبِ كَأَنَّهُ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلا قَلِيلا

✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ in a cultivated field in Madinah, and he was leaning on a palm branch. He came upon a group of Jews. Some of them said, 'Do not ask him,' but they asked him. He leaned on the palm branch as if receiving revelation, and said, 'They ask you about the spirit. Say, "The spirit is from the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little."'
