Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36929 — Reports on the breadth of the mercy
٣٦٩٢٩ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن موسى بن عقبة عن سالم عن ابن عمر عن كعب قال: لما رأت الملائكة بني آدم وما يذنبون؟ قالوا: يا رب يذنبون؟ قال: لو كنتم مثلهم فعلتم كما يفعلون، فاختاروا منكم ملكين، قال: فاختاروا هاروت وماروت، فقال لهما ﵎: إن بيني وبين الناس رسولا، فليس بيني و (بينكما) (١) أحد، لا تشركا بي شيئًا و (لا تسرقا) (٢) ولا تزنيا، قال عبد اللَّه: قال كعب: فما استكملا ذلك اليوم حتى وقعا فيما حرم عليهما (٣).
It is narrated from Ka'b that when the angels saw the sins of human beings, they said: "O Allah! They commit sins." Allah Almighty said: "If you were like them, you would do what they do. So choose two angels from among yourselves." They chose Harut and Marut. Allah Almighty said to these two angels: "Between Me and the people there is a messenger, but between Me and you two there is no one. Do not associate anyone with Me, do not steal, and do not commit adultery." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ka'b said: "They had not completed that day before they fell into what had been forbidden to them."
