Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 5724

عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ بَكَى عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ خَرِيفٍ ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى سِعَةِ الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْ رَبِّ أَمَا لِأَرْضِكَ عَامِرٌ يَسْكُنُهَا غَيْرِي ؟ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ بَلَى فَإِنَّهَا سَتُرْفَعُ بُيُوتٌ يُذَكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمِي وَسَأُبَوِّئُكَ مِنْهَا بَيْتًا أَخْتَصُّهُ بِكَرَامَتِي ، وَأُحْلِلْهُ عَظَمَتِي وَأُسَمِّيهِ بَيْتِي ، وَأُنْطِقُهُ بِعَظَمَتِي ، وَلَسْتُ أَسْكُنُهُ وَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِي أَنْ أَسْكُنَ الْبُيُوتَ وَلَا يَسَعُنِي ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى عَرْشِي وَكُرْسِيِّ عَظَمَتِي وَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا خَلَقْتُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ قَبْضَتِي وَلَا مِنْ قُدْرَتِي وَتُعَمِّرُهُ يَا آدَمُ مَا كُنْتَ حَيًّا ثُمَّ تُعَمِّرُهُ الْقُرُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أُمَّةً بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ قَرْنًا بَعْدَ قَرْنٍ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى وَلَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكَ يُقَالُ لَهُ : إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَجْعَلُهُ مِنْ عُمَّارِهِ وَسُكَّانِهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَجَلِيُّ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ وَكِلَاهُمَا فِيهِ كَلَامٌ وَقَدْ وُثِّقَا ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty sent Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) down to the earth, he wept over Paradise for a hundred years. Then he looked at the vastness of the earth and said: 'O my Lord, is there no one besides me to inhabit Your earth?' Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'Yes indeed! Soon houses will be raised in which My name will be remembered, and I will settle you in one of them, a house which I have singled out for My honour. I have granted it My majesty, I have given it the name of My House, and I have endowed it with My majesty. I do not dwell in it, nor is it befitting for Me to dwell in houses, nor is that worthy of My glory; rather, I am upon My Throne and My Kursi. It is not befitting for anything I have created to go out of My grasp or out of My power. O Adam, as long as you live you will inhabit it; then after you, one nation after another, generation after generation, will inhabit it, until the matter reaches a man from among your descendants whose name will be Ibrahim. I will make him one who inhabits it and one who dwells in it.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Isma'il bin Amr al-Bajali, and a narrator, Isma'il bin Ayyash; both of them have been criticised and both have also been declared trustworthy. The rest of the narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).
