حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، ثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْأَيْلِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ عَطَاءٍ ، مَوْلَاةِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ، قَالَتْ : إِنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - ، يَقُولُ : لَمَّا نَزَلَ قَوْلُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ - صَاحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ : يَا آلَ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ ، إِنِّي نَذِيرٌ فَجَاءَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ ; فَحَذَّرَهُمْ وَأَنْذَرَهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ ، وَأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ سُخِّرَ لَهُ الرِّيحُ وَالْجِبَالُ ، وَأَنَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ سُخِّرَ لَهُ الْبَحْرُ ، وَأَنَّ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى ، فَادْعُ اللهَ تَعَالَى : أَنْ سَيَّرَ عَنَّا هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ ، وَيُفَجِّرَ لَنَا أَنْهَارًا ، فَنَتَّخِذَهَا مَخَايِضَ فَنَزْرَعَ وَنَأْكُلَ وَإِلَّا فَادْعُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ لَنَا مَوْتَانَا فَنُكَلِّمَهُمْ وَيُكَلِّمُونَا ، وَإِلَّا فَادْعُ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُصَيِّرَ لَنَا هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةَ الَّتِي تَحْتَكَ ذَهَبًا ، فَنَحُتُّ مِنْهَا وَتُغْنِينَا عَنْ رِحْلَةِ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ كَهَيْئَتِهِمْ . فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَهُ ، إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِمَاتُ الْوَحْيِ ، فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي مَا سَأَلْتُمْ وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَكَانَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا فِي بَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ فَيُؤْمِنَ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكِلَكُمْ إِلَى مَا اخْتَرْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَتَضِلُّوا عَنْ بَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ فَاخْتَرْتُ بَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ فَيُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي إِنْ أَعْطَاكُمْ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُمْ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَكُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا لَمْ يُعَذِّبْهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ فَنَزَلَتْ : وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالآيَاتِ إِلا أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الأَوَّلُونَ - إِلَى ثَلَاثِ آيَاتٍ ، وَنَزَلَتْ : وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ الْآيَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, was revealed: "And warn your nearest kindred" [Surah al-Shu'ara: 214], the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) climbed Mount Abu Qubays and called out in a loud voice: "O family of Abd Manaf! I am a warner to you (of the punishment of Allah)." So Quraysh came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) cautioned them (of an evil end) and warned them (of the punishment of Allah). They said (by way of objection): "You claim that you are a Prophet to whom revelation comes, and indeed the wind and the mountains were made subservient to Sulayman (peace be upon him), the sea was made subservient to Musa (peace be upon him), and Isa (peace be upon him) used to bring the dead back to life. So supplicate to Allah Almighty to move these mountains away from us and make rivers gush forth for us, so that we may use them as crossings, and then we may farm and eat. Otherwise, supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, to bring our dead back to life so that we may speak to them and they may speak to us. And if not that, then supplicate to Allah Almighty to turn this rock on which you are standing into gold, so that we may carve from it, and it would free us from need of the trading journeys of winter and summer; for you claim that you are just like those prophets." While we were still around him (peace and blessings be upon him), the signs of revelation appeared upon him (peace and blessings be upon him). When that state passed, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul! Allah Almighty had granted me all that you asked for, and had I wished, it would have happened. But Allah, Majestic is His glory, gave me a choice between two things: either that you enter through the door of mercy and those of you who would believe come to faith, or that He leave you to what you chose for yourselves, so that you stray from the door of mercy and even those of you who would believe do not believe. So I chose the door of mercy, so that those of you who would believe come to faith. Furthermore, Allah Almighty informed me that if He were to grant you these demands and you then disbelieved, He would punish you with a severe punishment such as He has not given to anyone among the worlds." So these verses were revealed: "And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them" [Surah al-Isra: 59], up to the next three verses, and this verse was revealed: "And if there were a Qur'an by which the mountains were moved" [Surah al-Ra'd: 31].
