حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْحَجَبِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي سَارَةَ قَالَ: نَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ:
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَرَّةً رَجُلًا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ فَرَاعِنَةِ الْعَرَبِ، أَنِ ادْعُهُ لِي، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ أَعْتَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ، فَادْعُهُ، فَأَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَدْعُوكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ ! وَمَا اللهُ ؟ أَمِنْ ذَهَبٍ هُوَ، أَوْ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، أَوْ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ ؟ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، وَقَالَ: قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَّهُ أَعْتَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ، فَادْعُهُ " فَأَتَاهُ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلَ الْأَوَّلَ، فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ جَوَابِهِ الْأَوَّلِ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: " ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ، فَادْعُهُ "، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا يَتَرَاجَعَانِ الْكَلَامَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِذْ بَعَثَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِسَحَابَةٍ حِيَالَ رَأْسِهِ، فَرَعَدَتْ وَأَبْرَقَتْ، وَوَقَعَ مِنْهَا صَاعِقَةٌ ذَهَبَتْ بِقِحْفِ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ once sent a man to one of the Pharaohs of the Arabs, saying: Invite him to me. The man said: O Messenger of Allah, he is too arrogant for that. He said: Go to him and invite him. So he went to him and said: The Messenger of Allah invites you. He replied: Messenger of Allah! And what is Allah? Is He of gold, or of silver, or of copper? He returned to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, saying: I told you, O Messenger of Allah, that he is too arrogant for that. He said: “Return to him and invite him.” So he went back and repeated the same words, and the man gave the same answer as before. He returned to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said: “Return to him and invite him.” So he went back a third time. While they were exchanging words, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent a cloud over his head, and it thundered and lightning flashed, and a thunderbolt fell from it and carried away the top of his skull. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: “He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills, while they dispute about Allah, and He is severe in assault.”
