حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ الزَّاهِدُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَرَوَيْهِ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَدْعُونِي مَعَ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَيَقُولُ لِي لَا تَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى يَتَكَلَّمُوا قَالَ فَدَعَاهُمْ وَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ أَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ تَرَوْنَهَا؟» قَالَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَقَالَ آخَرُ خَمْسٍ وَأَنَا سَاكِتٌ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ؟ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا لِتَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِرَأْيِي؟ قَالَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ نَسْأَلُكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ السَّبْعُ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ ذَكَرَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمَنَ الْأَرَضِينَ سَبْعًا وَخَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سَبْعٍ وَبَرَزَ نَبْتُ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ سَبْعٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَخْبَرَتْنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا لَا أَعْلَمُ مَا قَوْلُكَ نَبْتُ الْأَرْضَ مِنٍ سَبْعٍ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا} [عبس 26] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا} [عبس 31] وَالْأَبُّ نَبْتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُهُ الدَّوَابُّ وَلَا يَأْكُلُهُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَعَجَزْتُمْ أَنْ تَقُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْتَمِعْ شُئُونُ رَأْسِهِ بَعْدُ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَى الْقَوْلَ إِلَّا كَمَا قُلْتَ قَالَ وَقَالَ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّمَ حَتَّى يَتَكَلَّمُوا وَإِنِّي آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ فَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِمِثْلِهِ
Translation
✧ Abu al-Hasan Ahmad b. Abi Uthman al-Zahid narrated to me, Abu Abdullah Muhammad b. Barawayh al-Mu'adhdhin narrated to us, Yahya b. Yahya narrated to us, Abdullah b. Idris informed us, Asim b. Kulayb al-Jarmi narrated to us from his father from Ibn Abbas, who said: Umar b. al-Khattab used to invite me with the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and say to me, "Do not speak until they speak." He said, "So he invited them and asked them about the Night of Decree. He said, 'What do you think of the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Seek it in the last ten"—which night do you think it is?'" He said, "Some of them said, 'The twenty-first night,' some said, 'The twenty-third night,' and another said, 'The twenty-fifth night,' while I was silent. He said, 'What is the matter with you that you do not speak?' I said, 'If you permit me, O Commander of the Faithful, I will speak.' He said, 'I did not send for you except that you speak.' I said, 'I will tell you my opinion.' He said, 'About that we ask you.' I said, 'The seventh. I see that Allah mentioned seven heavens, and of the earths seven, and created man from seven, and the plants of the earth emerge from seven.' He said, 'This has told me what I know. What do you think of what I do not know—what is your saying that the plants of the earth are from seven?' I said, 'Allah says: {We split the earth in clefts} [Abasa 26] until His saying {and fruit and pasture} [Abasa 31], and pasture is the plants of the earth from what the animals eat and people do not eat.' He said, 'Umar said, "Were you unable to say as this boy said, whose skull bones have not yet knit together? By Allah, I do not think the saying is other than what you said."' He said, "And he said, 'I had commanded you not to speak until they speak, and I now command you to speak with them.'" Ibn Idris said, "Abd al-Malik narrated to us from Said b. Jubayr from Ibn Abbas the like of it."
