حَدَّثَنَا ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ، قَالَ : قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ : مِنْ خَلْقِهِ ، وَقَالَ : " حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ " .
A'mash has narrated this hadith on the same authority and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing amongst us and he told us four things. He then narrated the hadith like the one reported by Abu Mua'wiya, but did not mention the words" His creation" and said: His veil is the light.
