Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10560 — When Allah, the Mighty and Majestic

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، ثنا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْقَتَّاتِ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهماُ قَالَ: " لَمَّا بَعَثَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ التَّوْرَاةَ، قَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ رَبٌّ عَظِيمٌ، وَلَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُطَاعَ لِأُطِعْتَ، وَلَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ لَا تُعْصَى مَا عُصِيتَ، وَأَنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُطَاعَ، وَأَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ تُعْصَى، فَكَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَبِّ؟ فَأَوْحَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ: إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ. فَانْتَهَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ. فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عُزَيْرًا، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ التَّوْرَاةَ بَعْدَمَا كَانَ قَدْ رَفَعَهَا عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ ابْنُ اللهِ، قَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ رَبٌّ عَظِيمٌ، لَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُطَاعَ لِأُطِعْتَ، وَلَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ لَا تُعْصَى مَا عُصِيتَ، وَأَنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُطَاعَ، وَأَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ تُعْصَى، فَكَيْفَ يَا رَبِّ؟ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ: إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ. فَأَبَتْ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى سَأَلَ أَيْضًا، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبٌّ عَظِيمٌ، لَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ لَا تُعْصَى مَا عُصِيتَ، وَأَنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُطَاعَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعْصَى، فَكَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَبِّ؟ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ: إليه: إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ. فَأَبَتْ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى سَأَلَ أَيْضًا، فَقَالَ: أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُرَّ صُرَّةً مِنَ الشَّمْسِ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِمِكْيَالٍ مِنْ رِيحٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِمِثْقَالٍ مِنْ نُورٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِقِيرَاطٍ مِنْ نُورٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَهَكَذَا لَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى الَّذِي سَأَلْتَ عَنْهُ، إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَجْعَلُ عُقُوبَتَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ أُمْحِيَ اسْمَكَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَلَا تُذْكَرُ فِيهِمْ، فَمَحَا اسْمَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَلَيْسَ يُذْكَرُ فِيهِمْ وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ، فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللهُ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، وَرَأَى مَنْزِلَتَهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ، وَعَلَّمَهُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ، وَيُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ، وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى، وَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا يَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا يَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ، قَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ رَبٌّ عَظِيمٌ، لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ تُطَاعَ لَأُطِعْتَ، وَلَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ لَا تُعْصَى مَا عُصِيتَ، وَأَنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُطَاعَ، وَأَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ تُعْصَى، فَكَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَبِّ؟ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ: إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ، وَأَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَرَسُولِي، وَكَلِمَتِي أَلْقَيْتُكَ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ، وَرَوْحٌ مِنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَكَ: كُنْ فَكُنْتَ، لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ بِكَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ بِصَاحِبِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، إِنِّي لَا أُسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَفْعَلُ، وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ، فَجَمَعَ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ تَبِعَتَهُ فَقَالَ: الْقَدَرُ سِرُّ اللهِ؛ فَلَا تَكَلَّفُوهُ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "When Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent Musa (peace be upon him) and revealed the Torah to him, he said: O Allah, You are a mighty Lord. Had You willed to be obeyed, You would certainly have been obeyed; and had You willed not to be disobeyed, You would never have been disobeyed. Yet You love to be obeyed, and despite that You are disobeyed. So how is this, O Lord? So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to him: I am not asked about what I do, but they (the servants) are asked. So Musa (peace be upon him) desisted. Then when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent Uzayr (peace be upon him) and revealed the Torah to him, after it had been taken away from the Children of Israel, to the point that some said that he was the son of Allah, he said: O Allah, You are a mighty Lord. Had You willed to be obeyed, You would certainly have been obeyed; and had You willed not to be disobeyed, You would not have been disobeyed. Yet You love to be obeyed, and despite that You are disobeyed. So how is this, O Lord? Allah revealed to him: I am not asked about what I do, but they are asked. But his soul would not accept it, and he asked again: O Allah, You are a mighty Lord. Had You willed not to be disobeyed, You would not have been disobeyed. Yet You love to be obeyed, and You are disobeyed. So how is this, O Lord? Allah revealed: I am not asked about what I do, but they are asked. Still his soul would not accept it, and he asked again, so Allah said: Can you bind the light of the sun in a fist? He said: No. He said: Can you bring the wind in a measure? He said: No. He said: Can you bring a mithqal of light? He said: No. Can you bring a qirat of light? He said: No. He said: In the same way, you have no power over that which you asked about. I am not asked about what I do, but they are asked. Listen! I appoint no punishment for you except that I will erase your name from the list of the prophets, so you will not be mentioned among them. So Allah erased his name from the list of the prophets, and he is not mentioned along with them, even though he is a prophet. Then when Allah sent Isa (peace be upon him), and he saw his rank with his Lord, and Allah taught him the Book, wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel, and he would heal the one born blind and the leper, give life to the dead, and tell people what they ate and what they stored in their houses, he said: O Allah, You are a mighty Lord. Had You willed to be obeyed, You would certainly have been obeyed; and had You willed not to be disobeyed, You would not have been disobeyed. Yet You love to be obeyed, and You are disobeyed. So how is this, O Lord? Allah revealed to him: I am not asked about what I do, but they are asked. You are My servant and My messenger, and My word which I cast to Maryam, and a spirit from Me. I created you from dust, then I said to you: Be, and you were. If you do not desist, I will certainly do to you what I did to your companion (Uzayr) before you. I am not asked about what I do, but they are asked. So Isa (peace be upon him) gathered his followers and said: Divine decree is the secret of Allah, so do not burden yourselves with it."
