ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْكِمْ صِنَاعَةَ الْعِلْمِ، أَنَّهُ مُضَادُّ لِلْخَبَرِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

ابن حبّان:٥٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ ذَرِيحٍ بِعَكْبَرَا حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْمَرْزُبَانِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} قَالَ «رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِبْرِيلَ فِي حُلَّةٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ قَدْ مَلَأَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ»
