باب قَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ في الْجَدِّ:Chapter on Ibn Abbas's opinion regarding the grandfather
Hadith 2957
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ الْعَبْسِيِّ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ الْجَد ؟ فَقَالَ: "أَيُّ أَبٍ لَكَ أَكْبَر ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا: آدَمُ، قَالَ: أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ إِلَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: يَا بَنِي آدَمَ سورة الأعراف آية 26.
Abdur Rahman bin Mu’qil said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the grandfather, so he said: Who is the greatest among your fathers (grandfathers)? (And in another narration: When the questioner could not answer,) I said: Adam (is the greatest father). He replied: Have you not heard the saying of Allah Almighty: "O children of Adam"?
