أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو جَابِرًا قَالَ
لَمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ} قَالَ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ} قَالَ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ} قَالَ «هَاتَانِ أَهْوَنُ أَوْ أَيْسَرُ»

✧ When it was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: {Say: He is Able to send upon you a punishment from above you}, he said: «I seek refuge in Your Face»; {or from beneath your feet}, he said: «I seek refuge in Your Face»; {or to confound you into factions and make you taste the violence of one another}, he said: «These two are lighter or easier.»
