Sahih al-Bukhari 7481

Translation

The Prophet ﷺ said, "When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the angels beat with their wings in obedience to His Statement which sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement: "Until when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, 'What was it that your Lord said?' 'They reply, '(He has said) the Truth. And He is the Most High, The Great. " (34.23)

• قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ صَفَوَانٍ ـ يَنْفُذُهُمْ ذَلِكَ، فَإِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ ". قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، بِهَذَا. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ،. قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَعَمْ. قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ إِنَّ إِنْسَانًا رَوَى عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ فُزِّعَ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هَكَذَا قَرَأَ عَمْرٌو فَلاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعَهُ هَكَذَا أَمْ لاَ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَهْىَ قِرَاءَتُنَا

  machine translationʿAlī said: And someone else said: "Ṣafwān" — it penetrates them. "Then when fear is removed from their hearts they say: What did your Lord say? They say: The truth, and He is the Most High, the Great." ʿAlī said: And Sufyān narrated to us: ʿAmr narrated to us, from ʿIkrimah, from Abū Hurayrah, with this. Sufyān said: ʿAmr said: I heard ʿIkrimah say: Abū Hurayrah narrated to us. ʿAlī said: I said to Sufyān: He said, "I heard ʿIkrimah, he said: I heard Abū Hurayrah"? He said: Yes. I said to Sufyān: A man narrated from ʿAmr, from ʿIkrimah, from Abū Hurayrah, attributing it to the Prophet (marfūʿ), that he recited "fuzziʿa". Sufyān said: ʿAmr recited it thus, and I do not know whether he heard it thus or not. Sufyān said: And it is our recitation. Report a problem
