حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَوَكِّئٌ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ قَالَ: فَمَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ؟ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الرُّوحُ؟ فَقَامَ فَتَوَكَّأَ عَلَى الْعَسِيبِ قَالَ: فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلا قَلِيلا قَالَ: فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: قَدْ قُلْنَا لَكُمْ: لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ.

✧ I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in a field in Madinah while he was leaning on a palm branch. He passed by a group of Jews, and some of them said to others: "Ask him about the spirit." Some said: "Do not ask him." They asked him about the spirit, saying: "O Muhammad, what is the spirit?" He stood leaning on the palm branch. I thought that revelation was coming to him. He said: "They ask you about the spirit. Say: The spirit is of the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little." Some of them said: "We told you not to ask him."
