hakim:3251ʿUmar

[Machine] Harun came to the Samiri while he was making the calf, so he said to him, "What are you doing?" He replied, "It does not benefit nor harm." So Harun said, "O Allah, grant him what he requested in himself." When he left, he said, "O Allah, I ask You that he remains dusty and whenever he prostrates, he remains dusty, and when he lifts his head, he remains dusty, and this is the supplication of Harun."  

الحاكم:٣٢٥١حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ الْجُمَحِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ فِي دَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَنْبَأَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

أَتَى هَارُونُ عَلَى السَّامِرِيِّ وَهُوَ يَصْنَعُ الْعِجْلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ مَا يَنْفَعُ وَلَا يَضُرُّ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ مَا سَأَلَكَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ يَخُورَ فَخَارَ وَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ خَارَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ خَارَ وَذَلِكَ بِدَعْوَةِ هَارُونَ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ على شرط مسلم
