وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ; قَالَ:
قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ، وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَيَقُولُ: سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ فَيَقُولُ الْآخَرُ: غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ. فَيَقُولُ: اكْتُبْ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ شِئْتَ، فَرَجَعَ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَحِقَ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: أَتُعْلِمُونِي بِمُحَمَّدٍ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ مَا شِئْتُ، فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَا تَقْبَلُهُ الْأَرْضُ، قَالَ: فَذُكِرَ أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ أَتَى الْأَرْضَ الَّتِي مَاتَ فِيهَا الرَّجُلُ فَوَجَدَهُ مَنْبُوذًا، فَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا: دَفَنَّاهُ مِرَارًا فَلَمْ تَقْبَلْهُ الْأَرْضُ.
Translation
✧ A man among those who wrote between the hands of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite from al-Baqarah and Āl ʿImrān. He would dictate to him something of the names of Allah, Blessed and Exalted, and he would say, "Samīʿun ʿAlīm (All-Hearing, All-Knowing)," and the other would say, "Ghafūrun Raḥīm (Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful)." He would say, "Write whichever of them you wish." He then apostatized from Islam and joined the polytheists, saying, "Do you teach me about Muhammad? I used to write whatever I wished." He died, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "The earth will not accept him." He said: It was mentioned that Abū Ṭalḥah came to the land where the man died and found him cast out. He said, "What is the matter with this?" They said, "We buried him many times, but the earth would not accept him."
