قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَسَمِعَ مَلَكَيْنِ خَلْفَهُ ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ : اذْهَبْ بِنَا حَتَّى نَقُومَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ نَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ وَإِنَّمَا عَهْدُهُ بِاسْتِلَامِ الْأَصْنَامِ قَبْلُ ؟ فَلَمْ يَعُدْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ .
قُلْتُ : هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَنْكَرَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، فَبَالَغُوا ، وَالْمُنْكَرُ فِيهِ قَوْلُهُ عَنِ الْمَلَكِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : عَهْدُهُ بِاسْتِلَامِ الْأَصْنَامِ ، فَإِنَّ ظَاهِرَهُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَاشَرَ الِاسْتِلَامَ ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مُرَادًا ، بَلِ الْمُرَادُ أَنَّ الْمَلَكَ أَنْكَرَ شُهُودَهُ لِمُبَاشَرَةِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتِلَامَهُمْ أَصْنَامَهُمْ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (before the declaration of prophethood) used to attend the gatherings and assemblies of the polytheists along with them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the voices of two angels behind him, one of whom was saying to his companion: "Come with us, so that we may stand behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." At this the other angel said: "How can we stand behind him when only a short while ago he has been in contact with (the act of) touching the idols?" So after this incident he (peace and blessings be upon him) never again attended the gatherings of the polytheists with them.
I (Ibn Hajar) say: The hadith scholars criticised Uthman bin Abi Shaybah because of this hadith, and much exaggeration was done in this. The objectionable (munkar) point in this report is the angel's statement, "he has been in contact with touching the idols," because its apparent wording gives the impression that (Allah forbid) he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself touched the idols, whereas that is not what is meant; rather, the meaning is that the angel disapproved of his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence at the place where the polytheists were performing the polytheistic act of touching their idols.

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ ، فَطَفِقَ يَتَقَلَّبُ ، فَبَصُرَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَائِمًا فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَأَيْقَظَهُ فَقَامَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَنْفُضُ رَأْسَهُ وَلِحْيَتَهُ مِنَ التُّرَابِ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ نَحْوَ بَابِ بَنِي شَيْبَةَ ، فَتَلَقَّاهُمَا مِيكَائِيلُ ، فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ لِمِيكَائِيلَ : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَافِحَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ : أَجِدُ مِنْ يَدِهِ رِيحَ النُّحَاسِ ، فَكَأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : أَفَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسِيَ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ فَقَالَ : صَدَقَ أَخِي ، مَرَرْتُ أَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ عَلَى إِسَافٍ وَنَائِلَةَ ، فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ قَوْمًا رَضُوا بِكُمَا إِلَهًا مَعَ اللهِ قَوْمُ سُوءٍ .
( 200 ) وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي مَنَاقِبِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُهِيَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَنْ مَسِّ الصَّنَمِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Jibril (peace be upon him) entered al-Masjid al-Haram and began searching (for him, peace and blessings be upon him), and he found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) resting in the shade of the Ka'bah. He woke him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, shaking the dust from his head and blessed beard. Then Jibril (peace be upon him) set off with him (peace and blessings be upon him) towards the Gate of Banu Shaybah, where they met Mika'il (peace be upon him). Jibril (peace be upon him) asked Mika'il (peace be upon him): "What prevented you from shaking hands with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "I perceive the smell of copper from his blessed hand." It was as though Jibril (peace be upon him) expressed surprise at this, and he asked him (peace and blessings be upon him): "Did you do that?" It was as though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had forgotten (that matter); then he (peace and blessings be upon him) remembered and said: "My brother has spoken the truth. The day before yesterday I passed by 'Isaf' and 'Na'ilah' (two idols so named), and I placed my hand on one of them and said: 'Surely the people who have accepted you two as gods alongside Allah are a very evil people.'"
(200) And in the merits of Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), the hadith of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) has already passed, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was forbidden from touching idols even in the time of Ignorance.
