أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْمَرْزُبَانِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِلْيَهُودِ : أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ، فَقَالُوا : سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ ، فَسَأَلُوهُ ، فَنَزَلَتْ : وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلا قَلِيلا سورة الإسراء آية 85 ، فقَالَوا : لَمْ نُؤْتَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ نَحْنُ إِلا قَلِيلا ، وَقَدْ أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ ، وَمَنْ يُؤْتَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ؟ ! فَنَزَلَتْ : قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي سورة الكهف آية 109 .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Quraysh said to the Jews: Tell us about something so that we may ask that person (i.e., the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) about it. So they said: Ask him about the soul (ruh). The Quraysh asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so this verse was revealed: "They ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is from the command of my Lord, and you have been given little knowledge." So they said: Have we been given little knowledge, while we have been given the Torah? And whoever has been given the Torah has been given much good. So regarding this, this verse was revealed: "Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord..."
