ahmad:12260Abū al-Muthanná Muʿādh b. Muʿādh al-ʿAnbarī > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit al-Bunānī > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ, in his saying "So when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain" [Al-A'raf 143], he said, "This means that He extracted the edge of the middle finger." My father said, "Muaadh showed it to us." Humaid Al-Taweel said to him, "What do you intend with this, O Abu Muhammad?" He struck his chest with a severe blow and said, "Who are you, O Humaid? And what do you want, O Humaid, to tell me about it?" Anas Ibn Malik narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ, so you say to him whatever you want.  

أحمد:١٢٢٦٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّى رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ} [الأعراف 143] قَالَ قَالَ هَكَذَا يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ أَخْرَجَ طَرَفَ الْخِنْصَرِ قَالَ أَبِي أَرَانَاهُ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ؟ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرَهُ ضَرْبَةً شَدِيدَةً وَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا حُمَيْدُ؟ وَمَا أَنْتَ يَا حُمَيْدُ يُحَدِّثُنِي بِهِ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَقُولُ أَنْتَ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَيْهِ
