Musnad Abi Ya'la 679 — Umm Ata (may Allah have mercy on her), who was
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَلَيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْأَيْلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ عَطَاءٍ، مَوْلَاةِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ، يَقُولُ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} [الشعراء: 214] صَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ: «يَا آلَ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، إِنِّي نَذِيرٌ» فَجَاءَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ، فَحَذَّرَهُمْ وَأَنْذَرَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ سُخِّرَ لَهُ الرِّيحُ وَالْجِبَالُ، وَأَنَّ مُوسَى سُخِّرَ لَهُ الْبَحْرُ، وَأَنَّ عِيسَى كَانَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى؟، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسَيِّرَ عَنَّا هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ، وَيُفَجِّرَ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ أَنْهَارًا، فَنَتَّخِذَهَا مَحَارِثَ فَنَزْرَعَ وَنَأْكُلَ، وَإِلَّا فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ لَنَا مَوْتَانَا فَنُكَلِمَهُمْ وَيُكُلِّمُونَا، وَإِلَّا فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصَيِّرَ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةَ الَّتِي تَحْتَكَ ذَهَبًا فَنَنْحَتَ مِنْهَا وَيُغْنِينَا عَنْ رِحْلَةِ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ كَهَيْئَتِهِمْ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَهُ إِذْ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ، فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي مَا سَأَلْتُمْ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَكَانَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا مِنْ بَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ، فَيُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكِلَكُمْ إِلَى مَا اخْتَرْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَتَضِلُّوا عَنْ بَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ، فَاخْتَرْتُ بَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ فَيُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنُكُمْ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي: إِنْ أَعْطَاكُمْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُمْ أَنَّهُ مُعَذِّبُكُمْ عَذَابًا لَا يُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ " فَنَزَلَتْ {وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ} [الإسراء: 59] حَتَّى قَرَأَ ثَلَاثَ آيَاتٍ، وَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى} [الرعد: 31]، الْآيَةُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that Umm Ata (may Allah have mercy on her), who was a freed slave of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), relates: I heard Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) say: When the verse "And warn your nearest kinsfolk" was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called out loudly on Mount Abu Qubays: "O family of Abd Manaf! I am a warner to you (of the punishment of Allah)." So Quraysh gathered around him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) warned them of Allah's seizure and informed them of the evil end. They said: "You claim that you are a prophet to whom revelation is sent, whereas for Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) the wind and the mountains were made subservient, for Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) the sea was made subservient, and Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him) used to bring the dead to life? So pray to Allah to move these mountains away from us and to make rivers gush forth for us from the earth, so that we may turn them into fields, cultivate and eat the produce; otherwise pray to Allah to bring our dead to life for us, so that we may speak to them and they may speak to us; or else pray to Allah to turn this rock on which you are standing into gold, so that we may carve from it and it may free us from the hardship of the winter and summer trading journeys, for you claim that you are like those earlier prophets." So we were around him (peace and blessings be upon him) when, meanwhile, revelation began to come down upon him (peace and blessings be upon him). When the state of revelation had ended, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Allah Almighty has given me all that you asked for, and had I wished, it would all have happened. But Allah Almighty gave me the choice: either that you enter through the door of mercy and the believers among you believe, or that He leave you to what you have chosen for yourselves, so that you stray from the door of mercy and the believers among you do not believe. So I chose the door of mercy, so that the believers among you may believe. And Allah also informed me that if He grants you these demands and you then disbelieve, He will punish you with a punishment such as no one in the universe will have been punished with." Then this verse was revealed: "And nothing prevented Us from sending the signs (miracles) except that the former peoples denied them," until he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited three verses; and this verse was also revealed: "And if there were a Qur'an by which the mountains were moved, or the earth were torn apart, or the dead were made to speak (even then these people would not believe)."
