" عَنْ عَليٍّ قَالَ: جَاءَ رجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبيِّ ﷺ فقالَ: يا محمدُ! حَدِّثنْي عَنِ إِلهِكَ هَذَا الَّذي تَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ أَيا قوتٌ هُوَ؟ أذَهَبٌ هُوَ؟ أوْ مَا هُوَ؟ فَنزلتْ عَلىَ السَّائِلِ صاعقةٌ فَأحْرَقَتْهُ، فأَنْزَلَ الله: {وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ}.

"Narrated from Ali, who said: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Muhammad! Tell me about your God to whom you call: is He a ruby? Is He gold? Or what is He?' Then a thunderbolt descended upon the questioner and burned him, and Allah revealed: {He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills}."
