Musnad Abi Ya'la 3187 — the people of Makkah asked the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم آيَةً فَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ بِمَكَّةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ} [القمر: 2] يَقُولُ: ذَاهِبٌ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a sign (miracle), and the moon split into two pieces in Makkah. At this, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed these verses: "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split. And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: This is continuous magic." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the word "mustamirr" here means "passing away".
