حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الرَّازِيُّ، نَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، أَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ، وَعِنْدَهَا كَعْبٌ الْحَبْرُ فَذَكَرَ إِسْرَافِيلَ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا كَعْبُ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ إِسْرَافِيلَ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: عِنْدَكُمُ الْعِلْمُ، فَقَالَتْ: أَجَلْ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي، قَالَ: لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، جَنَاحَانِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ، وَجَنَاحٌ قَدْ تَسَرْبَلَ بِهِ، وَجَنَاحٌ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ، وَالْعَرْشُ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ وَالْقَلَمُ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ، فَإِذَا نَزَلَ الْوَحْيُ كَتَبَ الْقَلَمُ، ثُمَّ دَرَسَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَمَلَكُ الصُّورِ جَاثٍ عَلَى إِحْدَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَقَدْ نُصِبَتِ الْأُخْرَى، فَالْتَقَمَ الصُّورَ، مَحْنِيٌّ ظَهْرُهُ، شَاخِصٌ بَصَرُهُ إِلَى إِسْرَافِيلَ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ إِذَا رَأَى إِسْرَافِيلَ قَدْ ضَمَّ جَنَاحَهُ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِي الصُّورِ "، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

✧ I was with 'A'ishah, and Ka'b al-Ahbar was with her. He mentioned Israfil, and 'A'ishah said, "O Ka'b, tell me about Israfil." Ka'b said, "You have the knowledge." She said, "Yes, so tell me." He said, "He has four wings: two wings in the air, one wing with which he is enshrouded, and one wing upon his shoulder. The Throne is upon his shoulder and the Pen is upon his ear. When revelation descends, the Pen writes, then the angels study it. The angel of the Trumpet is kneeling on one knee, with the other knee raised, and he has put the Trumpet to his mouth, his back bent, his gaze fixed on Israfil. He has been commanded that when he sees Israfil fold his wing, he should blow the Trumpet." 'A'ishah said, "Thus I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say."
