حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ الْمَصَاحِفَ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْمَنَامِ زَمَنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَتَشَبَّهَ بِي، فَمَنْ رَآنِي فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي». هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ فِي النَّوْمِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَنْعَتُ لَكَ رَجُلا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ جِسْمُهُ وَلَحْمُهُ، أَسْمَرُ إِلَى الْبَيَاضِ، أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، حَسَنُ الضَّحِكِ، جَمِيلُ دَوَائِرِ الْوَجْهِ، مَلأَتْ لِحْيَتُهُ مَا بَيْنَ هَذِهِ إِلَى هَذِهِ، قَدْ مَلأَتْ نَحْرَهُ. قَالَ عَوْفٌ: وَلا أَدْرِي مَا كَانَ مَعَ هَذَا النَّعْتِ. فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَنْعَتَهُ فَوْقَ هَذَا.
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Muḥammad b. Bashhār
- Ibn Abū ʿAdī and Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar
- ʿAwf b. Abū Jamīlah
- Yazīd al-Fārisī Wakān Yaktub al-Maṣāḥif
I saw the Prophet ﷺ in a dream during the time of Ibn Abbas. He said: I said to Ibn Abbas, “I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in sleep.” Ibn Abbas said, “The Messenger of Allah used to say: "Satan is not able to take my likeness, so whoever sees me in sleep has indeed seen me." Can you describe this man whom you saw in sleep?” He said: Yes. I will describe to you a man whose body and flesh were between two men, with a complexion of brown tending toward whiteness, dark-eyed, with a pleasant smile and beautiful contours of the face. His beard filled the space from here to here, and it filled his upper chest. Awf said: I do not know what else was included with this description. Ibn Abbas then said, “If you had seen him while awake, you would not have been able to describe him beyond this.”
Notes
Abu Isa said: Yazid al-Farisi is Yazid ibn Hurmuz, and he is earlier than Yazid al-Raqashi. Yazid al-Farisi narrated hadiths from Ibn Abbas, while Yazid al-Raqashi did not meet Ibn Abbas. He is Yazid ibn Aban al-Raqashi, and he narrates from Anas ibn Malik. Yazid al-Farisi and Yazid al-Raqashi are both from the people of Basra. Awf ibn Abi Jamilah is Awf al-Arabi.
قال أبو عيسى: ويزيد الفارسي هو يزيد بن هرمز، وهو أقدم من يزيد الرقاشي، وروى يزيد الفارسي عن ابن عباس أحاديث، ويزيد الرقاشي لم يدرك ابن عباس، وهو يزيد بن أبان الرقاشي، وهو يروي عن أنس بن مالك، ويزيد الفارسي ويزيد الرقاشي كلاهما من أهل البصرة، وعوف بن أبي جميلة هو عوف الأعرابي.
