hakim:3252Abū Aḥmad Muḥammad b. Isḥāq al-ʿAdl > Aḥmad b. Naṣr > ʿAmr b. Ṭalḥah > Asbāṭ b. Naṣr al-Hamdānī > Ismāʿīl b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Suddī > Murrah al-Hamdānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd

[Machine] He said: "Indeed, the people of the calf said, 'This is a god with a singular form that is a strong, red wheat, with a black hair.' That is the saying of Allah Almighty: 'So We replaced the word which had been asserted upon them' [Quran 2:59]. When they refused to prostrate, Allah commanded the mountain to fall upon them, and they all perished. Then they looked at the other side of the mountain as Allah lifted it from them. They said, 'The prostration that is most beloved to Allah is the one that removes punishment from us.' So they prostrated on that part of the mountain. This is the saying of Allah Almighty: 'And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud' [Quran 7:171]."  

الحاكم:٣٢٥٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ثنا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّدِّيُّ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْعِجْلِ قَالُوا هطا سقماثا أزبه مزبا وَهِيَ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ حِنْطَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ قَوِيَّةٌ فِيهَا شَعْرَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ} [البقرة 59] فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا قَالَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْجَبَلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ قَدْ غَشِيَهُمْ فَسَقَطُوا سُجَّدًا عَلَى شِقٍّ وَنَظَرُوا بِالشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَرَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَكَشَفَهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا سَجْدَةٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ سَجْدَةٍ كَشَفَ بِهَا الْعَذَابَ عَنْكُمْ فَهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِذَلِكَ عَلَى شِقٍّ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ} [الأعراف 171]
