عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَكَانَ يُعْجِبُنَا أَنْ يَجِيءَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ الْعَاقِلُ فَيَسْأَلَهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَتَانَا رَسُولُكَ فَزَعَمَ لَنَا أَنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَرْسَلَكَ قَالَ ((صَدَقَ)) قَالَ فَمَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ قَالَ ((اللَّهُ)) قَالَ فَمَنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ قَالَ ((اللَّهُ)) قَالَ فَمَنْ نَصَبَ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا مَا جَعَلَ قَالَ ((اللَّهُ)) قَالَ فَبِالَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ وَخَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ وَنَصَبَ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ قَالَ ((نَعَمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were forbidden from asking questions to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so we liked it very much when an intelligent Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a question and we would listen. So a Bedouin came and said: O Muhammad! Your messenger came to us, he expressed the idea that Allah Almighty has sent you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He spoke the truth. He said: Well, tell me, who created the sky? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah did. He said: Who created the earth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty did. He said: Who set up these mountains and placed many treasures in them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty did. He said: Then by the One who created the sky, created the earth, and created the mountains, has Allah Almighty sent you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
