أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ
«إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ الْأَمْرَ فِي السَّمَاءِ ضَرَبَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا خُضْعَانًا لِقَوْلِهِ كَأَنَّهُ سِلْسِلَةٌ عَلَى صَفْوَانٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ قَالَ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ فَيَسْتَمِعُهَا مُسْتَرِقُ السَّمْعِ فَرُبَّمَا أَدْرَكَهُ الشِّهَابُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْمِيَ بِهَا إِلَى الَّذِي هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ الشِّهَابُ حَتَّى يَرْمِيَ بِهَا إِلَى الَّذِي هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ

✧ When Allah decrees a matter in the heaven, the angels beat their wings in submission to His word, which is like a chain on a rock. 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 Most Great." Then the eavesdroppers hear it, and sometimes a meteor catches him before he can cast it down to the one below him, and sometimes the meteor does not catch him until he casts it down to the one below him.
