عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، عَنِ
الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ بِمِنًى ، إِذْ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ : وَالْمُرْسَلاتِ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتْلُوهَا ، وَإِنِّي لَأَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ ، وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا إِذْ وَثَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اقْتُلُوهَا ، فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا ، فَذَهَبَتْ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ ، كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا ".
Narrated `Abdullah: While we were in the company of the Prophet in a cave at Mina, when Surat-wal-Mursalat were revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet said (ordered us): "Kill it." We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet said, "It has escaped your evil and you too have escaped its evil."
