حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ: لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنْفَكِّينَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ رَسُولٌ مِنَ اللهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفًا مُطَهَّرَةً فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ. إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللهِ الْحَنِيفِيَّةُ غَيْرُ الْمُشْرِكَةِ، وَلَا الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَلَا النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ، وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ خَيْرًا فَلَنْ يُكْفَرَهُ. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آيَاتٍ بَعْدَهَا، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: " لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَسَأَلَ وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا، وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَتَمَهَا بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “Verily, Allah [Blessed and Exalted] commanded me to recite to you.” He said: So he recited to me: “Those who disbelieved from among the People of the Book and the polytheists were not to be parted until the clear proof came to them—a Messenger from Allah reciting purified pages, in which are upright scriptures. And those who were given the Book did not become divided except after the clear proof came to them. Verily, the religion with Allah is the upright Hanifiyyah—not the polytheistic, nor the Jewish, nor the Christian—and whoever does good will never have it denied.” Shuʿbah said: Then he recited some verses after it, then he recited: “If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would ask for a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust.” He said: Then he ended it with what remained of it.
