وَبِهِ: نَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ، يَقُولُ:

لَمَّا كَلَّمَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُوسَى بِالْأَلْسِنَةِ قَبْلَ لِسَانِهِ، طَفِقَ مُوسَى يَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، لَا أَفْقَهُ هَذَا. حَتَّى كَلَّمَهُ آخِرَ الْأَلْسِنَةِ قَبْلَ لِسَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، فَهَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ شَيْءٌ يُشْبِهُ كَلَامَكَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: وَأَقْرَبُ خَلْقِي شَبَهًا بِكَلَامِي أَشَدُّ مَا يُسْمَعُ مِنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ

✧ When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, spoke to Musa in tongues before his own tongue, Musa began saying: 'O Lord, I do not understand this.' Until He spoke to him in the last of the tongues before his own tongue, and he said: 'O Lord, is there anything among Your creation that resembles Your speech?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'The closest of My creation in resemblance to My speech is the most intense thunderclap that is heard.'
