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}."

    يرويه عبد الله بن إدريس عن الأعمش عن عبد الله بن مرة عن مسروق عن عبد الله وخالفه وكيع وعيسى بن يونس وعلي بن مسهر فرووه عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله وهو المشهور ولعلهما صحيحان وابن إدريس من الأثبات

    machine translationʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs narrates it from al-Aʿmash, from ʿAbdullāh b. Murrah, from Masrūq, from ʿAbdullāh. Wakīʿ, ʿĪsā b. Yūnus and ʿAlī b. Mushir differed from him, and narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, and this is the well-known one. Perhaps both are sound (ṣaḥīḥ), and Ibn Idrīs is among the most reliable (athbāt).
