Musnad Abi Ya'la 1967 — when this blessed verse was revealed
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم {قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ} [الأنعام: 65]، قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ»، {أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ} [الأنعام: 65]، قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ»، {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ} [الأنعام: 65]، قَالَ: «هَاتَانِ أَهْوَنُ أَوْ هَاتَانِ أَيْسَرُ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this blessed verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Say: He is able to send upon you a punishment from above you," he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A'udhu bi-wajhika" (I seek refuge in Your Being, Your Noble Face). Then when the next part of the verse was revealed: "Or from beneath your feet (bring about a punishment)," he (peace and blessings be upon him) again implored: "A'udhu bi-wajhika" (I seek refuge in Your Being). And when this part was revealed: "Or confuse you into sects and make you taste the violence of one another," he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These two are lighter, or these two are easier (compared with the first two forms)."
