حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
مَرَّ يَهُودِيٌّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ: يَا يَهُودِيُّ، إِنَّ هَذَا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ. فَقَالَ: لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، مِمَّ يُخْلَقُ الْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ: يَا يَهُودِيُّ، مِنْ كُلٍّ يُخْلَقُ: مِنْ نُطْفَةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَمِنْ نُطْفَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ. فَأَمَّا نُطْفَةُ الرَّجُلِ فَنُطْفَةٌ غَلِيظَةٌ؛ مِنْهَا الْعَظْمُ وَالْعَصَبُ، وَأَمَّا نُطْفَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَنُطْفَةٌ رَقِيقَةٌ مِنْهَا اللَّحْمُ وَالدَّمُ. فَقَامَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَقَالَ: هَكَذَا كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ.

✧ A Jew passed by the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was speaking to his companions. He said: Quraysh said: 'O Jew, this man claims that he is a prophet.' He said: 'I will ask him about something that only a prophet knows.' He said: He came and sat down, then said: 'O Muhammad, from what is man created?' He said: 'O Jew, from all of it he is created: from the man's fluid and from the woman's fluid. As for the man's fluid, it is a thick fluid from which come the bones and sinews. As for the woman's fluid, it is a thin fluid from which come the flesh and blood.' The Jew stood up and said: 'Thus did those before you say.'
