Hadith 6622

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : لَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ العاص ، فَقُلْتُ : أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ صِفَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ ، فَقَالَ : أَجَلْ ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمَوْصُوفٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ بِصِفَتِهِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ يَأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا سورة الأحزاب آية 45 وَحِرْزًا لِلْأُمِّيِّينَ ، وَأَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَرَسُولِي ، سَمَّيْتُكَ الْمُتَوَكِّلَ ، لَسْتَ بِفَظٍّ وَلَا غَلِيظٍ ، وَلَا سَخَّابٍ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ قَالَ يُونُسُ : وَلَا صَخَّابٍ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ، وَلَا يَدْفَعُ السَّيِّئَةَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ ، وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ ، وَلَنْ يَقْبِضَهُ حَتَّى يُقِيمَ بِهِ الْمِلَّةَ الْعَوْجَاءَ ، بِأَنْ يَقُولُوا : " لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، فَيَفْتَحَ بِهَا أَعْيُنًا عُمْيًا ، وَآذَانًا صُمًّا ، وَقُلُوبًا غُلْفًا " ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ : لَقِيتُ كَعْبًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَمَا اخْتَلَفَا فِي حَرْفٍ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ كَعْبًا يَقُولُ : بِلُغَتِهِ أَعْيُنًا عُمُومَى ، وَآذَانًا صُمُومَى ، وَقُلُوبًا غُلُوفَى ، قَالَ يُونُسُ غُلْفَى .
Ata bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I met Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). I requested him to tell me about the attributes of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) that are mentioned in the Torah. He replied: "Well, by Allah, the same attributes are mentioned in the Torah as are mentioned in the Noble Qur'an: O Prophet (peace be upon him), We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner, and sent you as a protector for the unlettered. You are My servant and My messenger. I have named you 'Mutawakkil' (the one who relies on Allah). You are not harsh, hard-hearted, one who makes noise in the markets, nor do you repay evil with evil, but you forgive and pardon. Allah will not call him to Himself until He straightens the crooked nation through him so that they declare 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god but Allah). Then, through him, Allah will open blind eyes, deaf ears, and hearts wrapped in veils." Ata says that after this I met Ka'b Ahbar and asked him the same question, and there was not a single letter of difference in the answers of both.
