باب فِي الْقَصَصِ

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود

Abd Allah (bin Masud) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid to me: recite Surat al-Nisa’. I asked: Shail I recite to you what was sent down to you ? He replied: I like to here it from someone else. So I recite (it) until I reached this verse “How then shall it be when We bring from every people a witness ?”. Then raised my head and saw tears falling from his eyes.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ ؟ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي ، قَالَ : فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ سورة النساء آية 41 ، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي ، فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَهْمِلَانِ
