قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنِ الْفَلَتَانِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ، قَالَ:

كُنَّا قُعُودًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَشَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ ﷺ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَمْشِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا يُنَازِعُهُ الْكَلَامَ إِلَّا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا قَالَ: أَتَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَالْإِنْجِيلَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَالْقُرْآنَ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَشَاءُ لَقَرَأْتُهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَاشَدَهُ: هَلْ تَجِدُنِي نَبِيًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ ؟ قَالَ: سَأُحَدِّثُكَ، نَجِدُ مِثْلَكَ، وَهَيْئَتَكَ، وَمِثْلَ مَخْرَجِكَ، وَكُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ فِينَا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتَ تَخَوَّفْنَا أَنْ تَكُونَ أَنْتَ هُوَ، فَنَظَرْنَا، فَإِذَا لَيْسَ أَنْتَ هُوَ، قَالَ ﷺ فَهُوَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَأَنَا هُوَ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأُمَّتِي، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا

✧ We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque, and his gaze ﷺ turned to a man walking in the mosque. He said: 'Labbayk, O Messenger of Allah,' and he did not dispute the speech except that he said: 'O Messenger of Allah.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Do you read the Torah?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And the Gospel?' He said: 'Yes, and the Qur'an, and by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if I wished I could read it.' He said: 'Then he adjured him: Do you find me as a prophet in the Torah and the Gospel?' He said: 'I will tell you. We find one like you, and your appearance, and like your emergence, and we hoped that you would be among us. But when you emerged, we feared that you might be him, so we looked, and found that you are not him.' He ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose hand is Muhammad's soul, I am indeed him, and they are indeed my nation, and they are indeed more than seventy thousand and seventy thousand.'
