حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَكُمْ عَنِ الْعِلْمِ ، حَتَّى يَقُولُوا : هَذَا اللَّهُ خَلَقَنَا ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ ، فَقَالَ : صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، قَدْ سَأَلَنِي اثْنَانِ وَهَذَا الثَّالِثُ ، أَوَ قَالَ : سَأَلَنِي وَاحِدٌ وَهَذَا الثَّانِي .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:People will constantly ask you questions pertaining to knowledge till they would say: Allah created us, but who created Allah? he (the narrator) says: he (Abu Huraira) was (at the time of narrating this hadith) catching hold of the hand of a man and he said: Allah and the Messenger told the truth. Two persons have already put me this question, and this is the third one, or he said: One man has put me this question and he is the second one.
