Majma al-Zawaid 11093 — The saying of Allah the Exalted: "And if"

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى قَالَ : قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ فَأَرِنَا أَشْيَاخَنَا الْأُوَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتَى نُكَلِّمْهُمْ ، وَافْتَحْ لَنَا هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ جِبَالَ مَكَّةَ الَّتِي قَدْ ضَمَّتْنَا . فَنَزَلَتْ وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ قَابُوسُ بْنُ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ . قُلْتُ : وَيَأْتِي حَدِيثُ الزُّبَيْرِ فِي سُورَةِ طسم الشُّعَرَاءِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, (Allah Almighty says:) "If there were a Qur'an by which the mountains could be moved, or the earth split apart, or the dead spoken to." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The people said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If it is as you say, then show us our elders who have died before, so that we may speak with them, and open up for us these mountains of Makkah which have hemmed us in." Then this verse was revealed concerning it: "If there were a Qur'an by which the mountains could be moved, or by which the earth could be split apart, or by which the dead could be spoken to."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Qabus bin Abi Zabyan, and he is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy.
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith narrated by Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) will come in the tafsir of Ta Sin Mim al-Shu'ara'.
