حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ، فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ: وَالْمُرْسَلاتِ عُرْفًا فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا، فَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهَا خَتَمَ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ أَوْ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لا يَرْكَعُونَ سَبَقَتْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: قَدْ وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا، وَوُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ.

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a cave when “By those sent forth in succession” was revealed to him. I took it from his mouth, and his mouth was moist with it. I do not know with which of them he ended: “Then in what statement after it will they believe?” or “And when it is said to them, ‘Bow,’ they do not bow.” A snake preceded us and entered a hole. The Prophet ﷺ said: “You have been protected from its evil, and it has been protected from your evil.”
