أَخْبَرَنَا
الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعَيْبٌ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي
سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ:
"أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ بِإِيلْيَاءَ بِقَدَحَيْنِ مِنْ خَمْرٍ وَلَبَنٍ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللَّبَنَ، فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَاكَ لِلْفِطْرَةِ، لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ، غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the night when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Mi'raj, two cups were presented before him in (the city of) Ilya (Bayt al-Maqdis): one of wine and one of milk. He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at them and took the cup of milk. Upon this, Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: All praise is for Allah who guided you to the natural disposition. If you had taken the cup of wine, your ummah would have gone astray.
