Hadith 704

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : وَذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْوَرِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَآتِيَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ عَمَّا سَمِعْتُ الْعَشِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُهُ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ بَعْدَكَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : فَأَيْنَ الْمَخْرَجُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : كِتَابُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، بِهِ يَقْصِمُ اللَّهُ كُلَّ جَبَّارٍ ، مَنْ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ نَجَا ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُ هَلَكَ ، مَرَّتَيْنِ ، قَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ، وَلَيْسَ بِالْهَزْلِ ، لَا تَخْتَلِقُهُ الْأَلْسُنُ ، وَلَا تَفْنَى أَعَاجِيبُهُ ، فِيهِ نَبَأُ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، وَفَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَكُمْ ، وَخَبَرُ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَكُمْ " .
Harith bin Abdullah A’war says that once I thought in my heart that tonight I must visit the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and ask him about the matter which I heard from him yesterday. So, after ‘Isha prayer, I went to him. Then he mentioned the complete hadith and narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Jibreel came to me and said, “O Muhammad! Your ummah will fall into disagreements after you.” I asked, “O Jibreel! What is the way to safety from this?” He said, “The Noble Qur’an. Through it, Allah will destroy every oppressor. Whoever holds firmly to it will be saved, and whoever abandons it will be destroyed.” He said this twice. Then he said, “This Qur’an is a decisive word; it is not a thing of amusement. It does not become old on the tongues, its wonders never cease. In it are the stories of those before, the judgments for those in between, and the events that will happen after.”
