أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ فَمَرَّ بِنَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ سَأَلْتُمُوهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ فَيُسْمِعَكُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ

✧ I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a field in Madinah while he was leaning on a palm branch. He passed by a group of Jews, some of whom said to others, 'Would that you ask him.' Some of them said, 'Do not ask him, lest he makes you hear what you dislike.' They said, 'O Abu al-Qasim.'
Notes
أَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَقَامَ سَاعَةً يَنْتَظِرُ الْوَحْيَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى عَلَيْهِ فَتَأَخَّرْتُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْوَحْيُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » الْآيَةَ
