أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ، أنبأ جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ {كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ} [الفتح: ٢٩]، قَالَ: لِيَغِيظَ اللهُ بِالنَّبِيِّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكُفَّارَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " أَنْتُمُ الزَّرْعُ وَقَدْ دَنَا حَصَادُهُ " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَقَالَ لِأُمَّتِهِ: {كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ} [آل عمران: ١١٠] الْآيَةَ، فَفَضَّلَهُمْ بِكَيْنُونَتِهِمْ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ دُونَ أُمَمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلَهُ.
Khaythamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man recited Surah al-Fath before Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). When he reached this passage: "Like a crop that puts forth its shoot, then strengthens it, so it grows thick and stands upon its stalk, delighting the sowers, so that He may enrage the disbelievers through them" [Surah al-Fath: 29], he said: "So that He may enrage the disbelievers through them" means that Allah enrages the disbelievers through the Prophet and his Companions. Then Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are the crop whose harvest time has drawn near."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "You are the best nation brought forth for mankind" [Surah Al Imran: 110]: Allah Almighty has given this ummah its virtue because it is the ummah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as opposed to the nations of the earlier prophets.
