حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خُلَيْدٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ
أَنَّ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ حَبْرٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَدَفَعْتُهُ دَفْعَةً كَادَ أَنْ يُصْرَعَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لِمَ تَدْفَعُنِي؟ فَقُلْتُ أَوَلَا تَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ إِنَّمَا نَدْعُوهُ بِاسْمِهِ الَّذِي سَمَّاهُ أَهْلُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اسْمِي مُحَمَّدٌ الَّذِي سَمَّانِي بِهِ أَهْلِي» فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْفَعُكَ شَيْءٌ إِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ؟» قَالَ أَسْمَعُ بِأُذُنِي فَنَكَتَ بِعُودٍ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ «سَلْ» قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أيْنَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هُمْ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ دُونَ الْجِسْرِ» قَالَ فَمَنْ أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ إِجَازَةً؟ قَالَ «فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ» فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَمَا تَحِيَّتُهُمْ حِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «زِيَادَةُ كَبِدِ الْحُوتِ» قَالَ فَمَا غِذَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى أَثَرِهَا؟ قَالَ «يُنْحَرُ لَهُمْ ثَوْرُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا» قَالَ فَمَا شَرَابُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ «مِنْ عَيْنٍ تُسَمَّى سَلْسَبِيلًا» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ وَجِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ رَجُلٌ أَوْ رَجُلَانِ قَالَ «يَنْفَعُكَ إِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ؟» قَالَ أَسْمَعُ بِأُذُنِي قَالَ جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنِ الْوَلَدِ قَالَ «مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ أَبْيَضُ وَمَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَصْفَرُ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَا فَعَلَا مَنِيُّ الرَّجُلِ مَنِيَّ الْمَرْأَةِ ذَكَرًا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَإِذَا عَلَا مَنِيُّ الْمَرْأَةِ مَنِيَّ الرَّجُلِ أُنْثَى بِإِذْنِ اللهِ» فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ لَقَدْ صَدَقْتَ وَإِنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَذَهَبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ سَأَلَنِي هَذَا عَنِ الَّذِيِ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُ وَمَالِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ عَلِمٌ حَتَّى أَنْبَأَنِيَ اللهُ ﷻ»

✧ Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of God ﷺ, said: I was sitting with the Messenger of God ﷺ when a rabbi from among the Jewish scholars came and said: “Peace be upon you, O Muhammad.” I pushed him with a shove that nearly knocked him over. He said: “Why do you push me?” I said: “Why don’t you say: O Messenger of God?” The Jew said: “We call him only by the name his family gave him.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “My name is Muhammad, the name my family gave me.” The Jew said: “I have come to ask you.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: “Will anything benefit you if I tell you?” He said: “I will listen with my ear.” So he made marks on the ground with a stick he had and said: “Ask.” The Jew said: “Where will people be on the day when the earth is changed to another earth and the heavens too?” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “They will be in darkness before the bridge.” He said: “Who will be the first people to cross?” He said: “The poor among the emigrants.” The Jew said: “What will be their greeting when they enter Paradise?” He said: “A portion of the liver of the whale.” He said: “What will be their food after that?” He said: “The bull of Paradise, which eats from its pastures, will be slaughtered for them.” He said: “What will they drink after it?” He said: “From a spring called Salsabil.” He said: “You have spoken the truth. I have come to ask you about something that no one on earth knows except a prophet or one or two men.” He said: “Will it benefit you if I tell you?” He said: “I will listen with my ear.” He said: “I have come to ask you about the child.” He said: “The man’s fluid is white and the woman’s fluid is yellow. When they meet and the man’s fluid prevails over the woman’s fluid, it is a male by God’s permission, and when the woman’s fluid prevails over the man’s fluid, it is a female by God’s permission.” The Jew said: “You have spoken the truth, and you are a prophet.” Then he left and went away. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “This man asked me about that which he asked me, and I had no knowledge of any of it until God informed me.”
