أَخْبَرَنَا الْإِمَامُ الْحَافِظُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا شَيْبَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، فَقَالَ: " اقْبَلُوا الْبُشْرَى يَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ "، قَالُوا: قَدْ بَشَّرْتَنَا فَأَعْطِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: " اقْبَلُوا الْبُشْرَى يَا أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ إِذْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا بَنُو تَمِيمٍ "، قَالُوا: قَدْ قَبِلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، جِئْنَا لِنَتَفَقَّهَ فِي الدِّينِ وَنَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَا كَانَ؟ قَالَ: " كَانَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجلَّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ قَبْلَهُ، وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، وَكَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ "، قَالَ: وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا عِمْرَانُ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ رَاحِلَتَكَ أَدْرِكْ نَاقَتَكَ، فَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي طَلَبِهَا فَإِذَا السَّرَابُ يَنْقَطِعُ دُوْنَهَا، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّهَا ذَهَبَتْ وَأَنِّي لَمْ أَقُمْ.
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when some people of Banu Tamim came to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Banu Tamim! Rejoice (at the glad tidings)." They said: You have given us glad tidings; now give us something as well. Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then some people of Yemen came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people of Yemen! Accept the glad tidings, since Banu Tamim did not accept them." They said: O Messenger of Allah! We accept your glad tidings (of Islam), and we have come to you to learn the religion. First of all we ask you about the beginning of the universe: what was here first? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "First there was only Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and there was nothing before Him, and the Throne of Allah Almighty was upon the water. Then Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth, and wrote everything in the Preserved Tablet." The narrator said: Just then a man came and said: O Imran bin Husayn! See to your mount; it has run off. Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went out in search of the she-camel, and it had already crossed the sandy expanse. Then he said: By Allah! I wished that I had not gone after the she-camel and had kept listening to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
