- وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ، قَالَ:

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ [شَرٌّ] ؟ قَالَ: « لَا أَدْرِي - أَوْ سَكَتَ - » فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي - أَوْ سَكَتَ - ». فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ، فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي. فَقَالَ: « سَلْ رَبَّكَ »، فَقَالَ: مَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، وَانْتَفَضَ انْتِفَاضَةً كَادَ يَصْعَدُ مِنْهَا رُوحُ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا صَعِدَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: سَأَلَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ: أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ خَيْرٌ ؟ فَقُلْتَ: لَا أَدْرِي ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَحَدِّثْهُ أَنَّ خَيْرَ الْبِقَاعِ الْمَسَاجِدُ، وَأَنَّ شَرَّ الْبِقَاعِ الْأَسْوَاقُ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which places are [the worst]?" He said: "I do not know," or he remained silent. Then he said to him: "Which places are the best?" He said: "I do not know," or he remained silent. Then Gabriel ﷺ came to him and asked him, and he said: "I do not know." He said: "Ask your Lord." So he said: "We do not ask Him about anything," and he trembled a trembling by which the soul of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ almost ascended. When Gabriel ﷺ ascended, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: "Muhammad asked you: Which places are the best? And you said: I do not know?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Tell him that the best of places are the mosques, and the worst of places are the markets."
