Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 3420 — I was with the Prophet ﷺ when this verse

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: ١٠١] . قَالَ: فَنَحْنُ نَسْأَلُهُ إِذْ قَالَ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ بِقُرْبِهمْ ومَقْعَدِهِمْ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» . قَالَ: وَفِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَامَ فَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَرَمَى بِيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: حَدِّثْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَنْهُمْ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْتَشِرُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عِبَادٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ مِنْ بُلْدَانٍ شَتَّى وَقَبَائِلَ مِنْ شُعُوبِ أَرْحَامِ الْقَبَائِلِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْحَامٌ يَتَوَاصَلُونَ بِهَا لِلَّهِ، لَا دُنْيَا يَتَبَادَلُونَ بِهَا، يَتَحَابُّونَ بِرُوحِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، يَجْعَلُ اللهُ وُجُوهَهُمْ نُورًا، يَجْعَلُ لَهُمْ مَنَابِرَ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ قُدَّامَ الرَّحْمَنِ تَعَالَى، يَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَفْزَعُونَ، وَيَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ»
Sayyiduna Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when this verse was revealed: "Do not ask about things which, if they were made plain to you, would distress you" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 101]. He says: We were still asking him when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has servants who are neither prophets nor martyrs, yet the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their nearness and their seating with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." He says: At one side of the gathering was a Bedouin. He stood up, then knelt on his knees, spread out both his hands and said: O Messenger of Allah, tell us about them: who are they? He says: I saw the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) light up, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are some of the servants of Allah from various towns and from the kinsfolk of various tribes. There was no blood relationship between them through which they were joined, nor any worldly dealing between them; rather, they love one another through the spirit of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. Allah will make their faces light, and He will place for them pulpits of pearl before the Most Merciful, the Exalted. People will be terrified but they will not be terrified, and people will fear but they will not fear."
