أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بِالْفُسْطَاطِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ الْقَلَمَ قَدْ جَفَّ قَالَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا خَلَقَ النَّاسَ فِي ظُلْمَةٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ نُورًا مِنْ نُورِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَصَابَ مَنْ شَاءَ وَأَخْطَأَ مَنْ شَاءَ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ مَنْ يُخْطِئُهُ مِمَّنْ يُصِيبُهُ فَمَنْ أَصَابَهُ مِنْ نُورِهِ شَيْءٌ اهْتَدَى وَمَنْ أَخْطَأَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ»؛ فَفِي ذَلِكَ مَا أَقُولُ إِنَّ الْقَلَمَ قَدْ جَفَّ

✧ I said to Abdullah b. Amr, "It has reached me that you say the pen has dried." He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, created people in darkness, then took light from His light and cast it upon them. It reached whom He willed and missed whom He willed, and He knew whom it would miss and whom it would reach. Whoever was reached by something of His light is guided, and whoever it missed has gone astray.' That is why I say the pen has dried."
