حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ هِرَقْلَ كَتَبَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ
وَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ فِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ فَسَيُخْبِرُنِي عَمَّا أَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْمَجَرَّةِ وَالْقَوْسِ وَعَنِ الْبُقْعَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُصِبْهَا الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِتَابُ وَالرَّسُولُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لِشَيْءٌ مَا كُنْتُ أُرَاهُ أَنْ أُسْأَلَ عَنْهُ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا مَنْ لِهَذَا؟ قِيلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَطَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ كِتَابَ هِرَقْلَ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ «إِنَّ الْقَوْسَ أَمَانٌ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَالْمَجَرَّةَ بَابُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِي تَنْشَقُّ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الْبُقْعَةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تُصِبْهَا الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ فَالْبَحْرُ الَّذِي أُفْرِجَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ»

✧ And he said: 'If any prophethood remained among them, he would inform me of what I ask them about.' So he wrote to him asking about the galaxy, the rainbow, and the place the sun had not touched except for one hour. When the letter and messenger reached Mu'awiya, he said: 'This is something I never thought I would be asked about until this day of mine. Who is this for?' It was said: 'Ibn Abbas.' So Mu'awiya folded up Heraclius' letter and sent it to Ibn Abbas. Ibn Abbas wrote back to him: 'The rainbow is a safeguard for the people of the earth from drowning. The galaxy is the gate of the sky through which it will split open. As for the place the sun had not touched except for one hour of the day, it is the sea that was parted for the Children of Israel.'
