Hadith 21232

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الرَّبَالِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ رُفَيْعٍ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ سورة الأعراف آية 172 ، قَالَ : " جَمَعَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ أَرْوَاحًا ، ثُمَّ صَوَّرَهُمْ فَاسْتَنْطَقَهُمْ فَتَكَلَّمُوا ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْعَهْدَ وَالْمِيثَاقَ ، وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ ، أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَالْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ ، وَأُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَبَاكُمْ آدَمَ ، أَنْ تَقُولُوا : يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ نَعْلَمْ بِهَذَا ، اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي ، وَلَا رَبَّ غَيْرِي فَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِي شَيْئًا ، إِنِّي سَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ رُسُلِي يُذَكِّرُونَكُمْ عَهْدِي وَمِيثَاقِي ، وَأُنْزِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُتُبِي ، قَالُوا : شَهِدْنَا بِأَنَّكَ رَبُّنَا وَإِلَهُنَا ، لَا رَبَّ لَنَا غَيْرُكَ ، ولا إِلهَ لَنَا غَيرُك ، فَأَقَرُّوا بِذَلِكَ ، وَرَفَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ آدَمَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَرَأَى الْغَنِيَّ وَالْفَقِيرَ ، وَحَسَنَ الصُّورَةِ ، وَدُونَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا سَوَّيْتَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ ؟ ! قَالَ : إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُشْكَرَ " ، وَرَأَى الْأَنْبِيَاءَ فِيهِمْ مِثْلُ السُّرُجِ عَلَيْهِمْ النُّورُ ، خُصُّوا بِمِيثَاقٍ آخَرَ فِي الرِّسَالَةِ وَالنُّبُوَّةِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ سورة الأحزاب آية 7 كَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْأَرْوَاحِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ ، فَحَدَّثَ عَنْ أُبَيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مِنْ فِيهَا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the interpretation of this verse: "When your Lord brought forth from the loins of Adam (peace be upon him) his progeny and made them bear witness against themselves," that Allah Almighty gathered all the progeny of Adam (peace be upon him), transferred them into spirits, then gave them forms, and granted them the power of speech, so they began to speak. Then Allah Almighty took a covenant from them and made them testify about themselves, saying: "Am I not your Lord?" And He said: "I make the seven heavens and the seven earths witnesses over you, and I make your father Adam a witness over you, so that on the Day of Resurrection you may not say, 'We had no knowledge of this.' Remember! There is no deity besides Me, there is no Lord besides Me, so do not associate anyone with Me. And I will continue to send My messengers to you, who will remind you of the covenant you made with Me, and I will send down My books upon you." All of them said in one voice: "We bear witness that You alone are our Lord and our God; there is no Lord for us besides You, and there is no deity for us besides You." Thus, they acknowledged this. Then Adam (peace be upon him) was raised above them so that he could see them all. He saw that among his progeny were the rich and the poor, the beautiful and the ugly. So he said: "O Lord! Why did You not make Your servants all alike?" Allah Almighty said: "I like that I should be thanked." Then Adam (peace be upon him) saw among them the Prophets (peace be upon them) shining like lamps, upon whom light was radiating, and from whom, in particular, a separate covenant regarding the office of Prophethood and Messengership was also taken. This is indicated in the verse: "And when We took from the Prophets their covenant" . All this happened in the realm of spirits. Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) was also among them, and his spirit entered Hazrat Maryam (peace be upon her) through her mouth.
