عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو عَوَانَة ، عَنْ
عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَة ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم :
" لَا يَزَالُونَ يَسْأَلُونَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ : هَذَا اللَّهُ خَلَقَنَا ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ؟ " . قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَة فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ يَوْمًا , إِذْ قَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ : هَذَا اللَّهُ خَلَقَنَا ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَل ؟ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَة فَجَعَلْتُ أُصْبُعَيَّ فِي أُذُنَيَّ ، ثُمَّ صِحْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ , اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَد ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ .
And that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: People will continue asking questions until they reach the point where they say, "Allah created us, but who created Allah?" Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, says: By Allah, one day I was sitting when an Iraqi man came and said, "Allah created us, but who created Allah?" Upon hearing his question, I put my fingers in my ears and shouted loudly, "Allah and His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, have spoken the absolute truth. Allah is One and Self-Sufficient. He did not beget, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him."
