Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7455 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَمَّا هَبَطَ آدَمُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ بَكَى عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ خَرِيفٍ ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى سَعَةِ الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أَمَا لِأَرْضِكَ عَامِرٌ يَسْكُنُهَا غَيْرِي ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ : أَنْ بَلَى ، إِنَّهَا سَتَرْتَفِعُ بُيُوتٌ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمِي ، وَسَأُبَوِّئُكَ مِنْهَا بَيْتًا أَخْتَصُّهُ بِكَرَامَتِي ، وَأُحَلِّلُهُ عَظَمَتِي ، وَأُسَمِّيهِ بَيْتِي ، أُنْطِقُهُ بِعَظَمَتِي ، وَلَسْتُ أَسْكُنُهُ ، وَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِي أَنْ أَسْكُنَ الْبُيُوتَ وَلَا تَسَعُنِي ، وَلَكِنِّي عَلَى عَرْشِي وَكُرْسِيِّ عَظَمَتِي ، وَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا خَلَقْتُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ قَبْضَتِي ، وَلَا مِنْ قُدْرَتِي ، وَتَعْمُرُهُ يَا آدَمُ مَا كُنْتَ حَيًّا ، ثُمَّ تَعْمُرُهُ الْقُرُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أُمَّةً بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ ، قَرْنًا بَعْدَ قَرْنٍ ، حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى وَلَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَجْعَلُهُ مِنْ عُمَّارِهِ وَسُكَّانِهِ I " .
لَمْ يُرْوَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) was sent down to the earth, he wept (in longing) for Paradise for a hundred years. Then he looked at the vastness of the earth and said: O my Lord! Is there anyone besides me to populate Your earth and dwell in it? So Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'Yes indeed, houses will soon be raised (on the earth) in which My name will be mentioned, and I will settle you in one of them, a house that I will single out for My special honour. I will make it the place of My majesty, call it My house (the House of Allah), and make it speak of My majesty. I will not dwell in it, for it does not befit Me to live in houses, nor can they contain Me; rather, I am upon My Throne and the Kursi of My majesty, and nothing that I have created can go beyond My grasp and My power. O Adam! As long as you live, you will keep it populated; then after you, generation after generation and nation after nation will keep it populated, until this reaches a son from among your descendants who will be called Ibrahim (peace be upon him); I will make him one of those who populate it and dwell in it.'"
This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain; Isma'il bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
