أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بِسْطَامٍ بِالْأُبُلَّةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى عَسِيبٍ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَنَزَلَتْ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » الْآيَةَ

✧ While the Prophet ﷺ was leaning against a wall in part of the city, the Jews approached him and asked him about the soul. He recited the verse, "{And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, 'The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And you have not been given of knowledge except a little}."
