حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِلْيَهُودِ: أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ! فَقَالُوا: سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ، فَسَأَلُوهُ، فَنَزَلَتْ: وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلا قَلِيلا، قَالُوا: أُوتِينَا عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا، أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ، وَمَنْ أُوتِيَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا. قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ

✧ Quraysh said to the Jews: Give us something to ask this man about. They said: Ask him about the spirit. So they asked him, and it was revealed: "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." They said: We have been given abundant knowledge; we have been given the Torah, and whoever is given the Torah has been given abundant good. He said: So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted."
