English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Abu Zumayl said: I asked Ibn Abbas, saying: What is that I find in my breast? He asked: What is it? I replied: I swear by Allah, I cannot speak about it. He asked me: Is it something doubtful? and he laughed. He then said: No one could escape that, until Allah, the exalted, revealed: "If thou went in doubt as to what we have revealed unto thee, and ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee. " He said: If you find something in your heart, say: He is the first and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent, and He has full knowledge of all things.

مَا شَيْءٌ أَجِدُهُ فِي صَدْرِي ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ ؟ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِي : أَشَيْءٌ مِنْ شَكٍّ ؟ , قَالَ : وَضَحِكَ ، قَالَ : مَا نَجَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ ، قَالَ : حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : فَإِنْ كُنْتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِمَّا أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ سورة يونس آية 94 , قال : فَقَالَ لي : إِذَا وَجَدْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْ : هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ ، وَالْآخِرُ ، وَالظَّاهِرُ ، وَالْبَاطِنُ ، وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
