أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْبَأَ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟» قَالَ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ «مِنْ أَيِّهِمْ؟» قَالَ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ «فَمَا الْخَبَرُ؟» قَالَ تَرَكْتُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا خَارِجٌ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَا تَقُولُ لَا أَبَا لَكَ لَوْ شَعَرْنَا ذَلِكَ مَا أَنْكَحْنَا نِسَاءَهُ وَلَا قَسَمْنَا مِيرَاثَهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنَا سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَانُوا يَسْتَرِقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَجِيءُ بِكَلِمَةِ حَقٍّ قَدْ سَمِعَهَا النَّاسُ فَيَكْذِبُ مَعَهَا سَبْعِينَ كِذْبَةً فَيُشْرِبَهَا قُلُوبَ النَّاسِ فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ فَأَخَذَهَا فَدَفَنَهَا تَحْتَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَامَ شَيْطَانٌ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى كَنْزِ سُلَيْمَانَ الَّذِي لَا كَنْزَ لِأَحَدٍ مِثْلُ كَنْزِهِ الْمُمْتَنِعِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ سِحْرٌ فَتَنَاسَخَتْهَا الْأُمَمُ فَبَقَايَاهَا مِمَّا يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَ سُلَيْمَانَ فَقَالَ {وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُوا الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا} [البقرة 102] الْآَيَةُ

✧ While we were with Ibn Abbas, a man came to him. He asked, “Where have you come from?” He replied, “From Iraq.” He asked, “From which of them?” He replied, “From Kufa.” He asked, “What is the news?” He replied, “I left them talking that Ali has come out against them.” He said, “What do you say? May you be bereft of your father! If we knew that, we would not have married his women or divided his inheritance.” Then he said: “I will tell you about that. The devils used to eavesdrop on the heaven, and one of them would come with a word of truth that people had heard, and he would add seventy lies to it, then instill it into people’s hearts. Allah informed Solomon son of David of that, so he took it and buried it under the throne. When Solomon died, a devil stood on the road and said, ‘Shall I guide you to Solomon’s treasure, the like of which no one has, the inaccessible treasure?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ So they brought it out, and it was sorcery. The nations inherited it, and its remnants are what the people of Iraq talk about. Then Allah revealed Solomon’s excuse, saying: {And they followed what the devils recited over Solomon’s kingdom, and Solomon did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved} [Al-Baqarah 102], up to the end of the verse.
