bayhaqi:12076Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Ḥasan b. Mukram > Abū al-Naḍr > Abū Khaythamah > Abū al-Jūwayriyah > Aʿrābī from Banī Sulaym Saʾalah / Ibn ʿAbbās > al-Ḍawāl

[Machine] The Bedouin said to the Prophet ﷺ , "I see that you have made the people excluding me. Did you make up a turn for me?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Woe to you, do not ask this question." The Bedouin asked, "And how intense is your questioning?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Seek forgiveness from Allah and draw closer to Him, and delay what you have done." The Bedouin asked, "Do you know where this verse was revealed?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Do not ask about things that if they were revealed to you, they would sadden you." He continued reciting the rest of the verse, "O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you." The Prophet ﷺ then explained that there was a group of people who used to mock him when they would say, "Whose son am I?" and "Where is my camel?" So Allah revealed this verse in response to their mocking.  

البيهقي:١٢٠٧٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ثنا أَبُو الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَعْرَابِيًّا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ سَأَلَهُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الضَّوَالِّ فَقَالَ مَا تَرَى فِي الضَّوَالِّ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنَ الضَّوَالِّ فَهُوَ ضَالٌّ قَالَ مَا تَرَى فِي الضَّوَالِّ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنَ الضَّوَالِّ فَهُوَ ضَالٌّ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ الرَّجُلُ وَأَخَذَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُفْتِي النَّاسَ يَقُولُ أَبُو الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ فَتْوًى كَثِيرَةً لَا أَحْفَظُهَا فَقَالَ

الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أُرَاكَ قَدْ أَصْدَرْتَ النَّاسَ غَيْرِي أَفَتَرَى لِي نَوْبَةً؟ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ لَا تَسْأَلْ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ قَالَ وَمَا أَشَدَّ مَسْأَلَتَكَ قَالَ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَأَقْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ وَأَجِلَّ مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ أَتَدْرِي فِيمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إَنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة 101] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ كُلِّهَا قَالَ كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتِهْزَاءً فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ مَنْ أَبِي؟ وَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ تَضِلُّ نَاقَتُهُ أَيْنَ نَاقَتِي؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِيهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ مُخْتَصَرًا
