Musnad Abi Ya'la 6669 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ شِبْلٍ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَحْكِي عَنْ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ : وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِهِ : هَلْ يَنَامُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ؟ فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكًا فَأَرَّقَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ قَارُورَتَيْنِ ، فِي كُلِّ يَدٍ قَارُورَةٌ ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْتَفِظَ بِهَا ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ يَنَامُ وَتَكَادُ يَدَاهُ تَلْتَقِيَانِ ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ فَيَحْبِسُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى نَامَ نَوْمَةً فَاصْطَفَقَتْ يَدَاهُ ، فَانْكَسَرَتِ الْقَارُورَتَانِ ، قَالَ : ضَرَبَ اللهُ لَهُ مَثَلًا أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَوْ كَانَ يَنَامُ لَمْ تَسْتَمْسِكِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit relating about Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him): "The thought occurred to him: Does Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sleep? So Allah Almighty sent an angel to him who kept him awake for three days. Then he gave him two glass flasks, one flask in each hand, and ordered him to take care of them." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sleep would overcome him and his two hands would almost strike each other; then he would wake up and hold one hand back from the other, until he fell into a deep sleep and his two hands struck each other, and both flasks broke." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty struck this as a parable for him: that if Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, slept, the heavens and the earth would certainly not hold together."
