حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : " قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا الْحَسَنُ مَكَّةَ ، فَكَلَّمَنِي فُقَهَاءُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَهُ فِي أَنْ يَجْلِسَ لَهُمْ يَوْمًا يَعِظُهُمْ فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَخْطَبَ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ خَلَقَ الشَّيْطَانَ ؟ فَقَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ ! خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَخَلَقَ الْخَيْرَ وَخَلَقَ الشَّرَّ ، قَالَ الرَّجُلُ : قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ كَيْفَ يَكْذِبُونَ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّيْخِ " .
Humaid said: Al-Hasan came to us. The jurists of Makkah told me that I should speak to him that some day he should hold a meeting for them and preach to them. He said: Yes. So they gathered and he addressed them. I did not see anyone on orator greater than him. A man said: Abu Saeed, who created Satan? He replied: Glory be to Allah! Is there any creator other than Allah? Allah created Satan, and he created good and created evil. The man said: May Allah ruin them! How do they lie to this old man.
Brief Explanation
1؎: It has always been the way of the people of innovation (ahl al-bid‘ah) that they fabricate accusations against the monotheists (muwahhidin) and those with correct creed. Some people had also leveled such slanders against Hasan al-Basri, and this is what is being alluded to here.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The only Creator is Allah Ta'ala.
He has created everything.
If there were no darkness, it would not be possible to recognize light.
If there were no evil, how would the excellence of good be known?
