Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39406 — Reports on Abyssinia, the affair
٣٩٤٠٦ - حدثنا خالد بن مخلد قال: (حدثنا) (١) (عبد الرحمن) (٢) بن عبد العزيز قال: ثنا الزهري قال: حدثني أبو بكر بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام المخزومي قال: دعا النجاشي جعفر بن أبي طالب وجمع له رؤوس النصارى (ثم) (٣) قال لجعفر: اقرأ عليهم ما معك من القرآن فقرأ عليهم: ﴿كهيعص﴾ [مريم: ١]، (ففاضت) (٤) أعينهم (فنزلت) (٥): ﴿تَرَى أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ﴾ [المائدة: ٨٣] (٦).
Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman narrates that al-Najashi summoned Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and gathered the leaders of the Christians for him, then said to Sayyiduna Ja'far: "Recite to them what you have of the Qur'an." Sayyiduna Ja'far recited to them Kaf Ha Ya Ayn Sad [Maryam: 1], and their eyes overflowed. Upon this the following verse was revealed: (You see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognised) [Al-Ma'idah: 83].
