أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ، حدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حدثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ الصَّفَّارُ، حدثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، ؓ،
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: " أُعْطِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ " وَاخْتُصِرَ لِيَ الْحَدِيثُ اخْتِصَارًا. قَالَ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَرُوِّينَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " بُعِثْتُ بِجَوَامِعِ الْكَلِمِ " " وَالظَّاهِرُ أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ بِهِ الْقُرْآنَ، وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ يَدُلُّ سِيَاقُ الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي عَنْ عُمَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ، وَقَدْ حَمَلَهُ الْحَلِيمِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ عَلَى كَلَامِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكِلَاهُمَا مُحَتَمَلٌ " فَقَدْ
