أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْمَرْزُبَانِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِلْيَهُودِ أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالُوا سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَنَزَلَتْ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » فَقَالُوا لَمْ نُؤْتَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ نَحْنُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَقَدْ أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ وَمَنْ يُؤْتَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ «{قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي} الْآيَةَ »

✧ Quraysh said to the Jews, 'Give us something we can ask this man about.' They said, 'Ask him about the spirit.' So they asked him, and it was revealed: "{And they ask you about the spirit. Say: The spirit is of the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little.}" They said, 'We have not been given of knowledge except a little, yet we have been given the Torah, and whoever is given the Torah has been given abundant good?' So it was revealed: "{Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord...}" the verse.
