قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:

مَا هَمَمْتُ بِقَبِيحٍ مِمَّا كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَهُمُّونَ بِهِ، إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ، كِلْتَيْهِمَا يَعْصِمُنِي اللهُ تَعَالَى مِنْهَا، قُلْتُ لَيْلَةً لِفَتًى كَانَ مَعِي مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بِأَعْلَى مَكَّةَ فِي أَغْنَامٍ لِأَهْلِهَا يَرْعَاهَا: أَبْصِرْ إِلَى غَنَمِي حَتَّى أَسْمُرَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ بِمَكَّةَ كَمَا يَسْمُرُ الْفِتْيَانُ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَخَرَجْتُ فَجِئْتُ أَدْنَى دَارٍ مِنْ دُورِ مَكَّةَ، سَمِعْتُ غِنَاءً وَضَرْبَ دُفُوفٍ وَمَزَامِيرَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ تَزَوَّجَ فُلَانَةَ، لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَلَهَوْتُ بِذَلِكَ الْغِنَاءِ وَبِذَلِكَ الصَّوْتِ حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي، فَمَا أَيْقَظَنِي إِلَّا مَسُّ الشَّمْسِ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِي، قَالَ: مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ لَيْلَةً أُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَفَعَلَ، فَخَرَجْتُ فَسَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقِيلَ لِي مِثْلُ مَا قِيلَ لِي، فَلَهَوْتُ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي، فَمَا أَيْقَظَنِي إِلَّا مَسُّ الشَّمْسِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِي، فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: مَا فَعَلْتُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَوَاللهِ مَا هَمَمْتُ بَعْدَهَا بِسُوءٍ مِمَّا يَعْمَلُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، حَتَّى أَكْرَمَنِي اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِنُبُوَّتِهِ

✧ I never intended anything indecent that the people of the pre-Islamic era used to intend, except twice in my life, and in both Allah, Most High, protected me from it. One night I said to a young man from Quraysh who was with me in the highlands of Makkah tending sheep for their owners: 'Watch my sheep so I can spend the night in Makkah as the young men do.' He said, 'Yes.' So I went out and came to the nearest house of Makkah. I heard singing, the beating of tambourines, and reed pipes. I said, 'What is this?' They said, 'So-and-so married so-and-so,' for a man of Quraysh married a woman of Quraysh. I enjoyed that singing and that sound until sleep overcame me, and nothing woke me but the touch of the sun. I returned to my companion and he said, 'What did you do?' I told him. Then another night I said to him the same thing, and he did. I went out and heard the like of that, and I was told the like of what I was told. I enjoyed what I heard until sleep overcame me, and nothing woke me but the touch of the sun. Then I returned to my companion and he said, 'What did you do?' I said, 'I did nothing.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By Allah, after that I never intended any evil of what the people of the pre-Islamic era did, until Allah, Mighty and Majestic, honored me with His prophethood.'
