أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، ثنا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا، فَقُلْنَا: مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ " فَقَرَأَ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا} " وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ حُجْرٍ عَلَى لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَلَى لَفْظِهِ أَيْضًا رَوَاهُ أَيْضًا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَقُلْ بَعْضُهُمْ آنِفًا، وَالْمَشْهُورُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ وَالْمَغَازِي أَنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ مَكِّيَّةٌ، وَلَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُجْرٍ لَا يُخَالِفُ قَوْلَهُمْ فَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوْلَى.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present among us when suddenly drowsiness came over him. Then (after a while) he raised his blessed head smiling, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, what made you laugh? He said: "Just now a surah has been revealed to me." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar" [Surah al-Kawthar: 1] to the end of it. Then he mentioned the complete hadith.
(b) Several other narrators have also transmitted it with these same words, and some narrators did not mention the word 'anifan' (just now). The well-known view on this among the scholars of tafsir and maghazi is that this surah is Makkan, and the wording of the hadith of Ali bin Hujr does not contradict them; perhaps it is the better one.
