أَنَسُ بنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ

tabarani:14019Aḥmad b. ʿIqāl al-Ḥarrānī > Abū Jaʿfar al-Nufaylī > Muḥammad b. Salamah > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] Abdullah bin Salam said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have embraced Islam and I would like to ask you about some things." The Prophet replied, "Ask me whatever comes to your mind." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the resemblance between a man and his mother, knowing that the sperm comes from the man." The Prophet said, "The sperm of a man is white and thick, while the sperm of a woman is red and thin. Whichever of the two overpowers the other, the child will resemble the one whose sperm prevailed." I then said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do the people of Paradise eat when they enter it?" He replied, "The enlargement of a liver from a whale." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, inform me about the signs of the Hour." He said, "A fire will come out from the east and drive people to their gathering place." Then he said, "I bear witness that you are indeed a Prophet."  

الطبراني:١٤٠١٩حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِقَالٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ «سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ شَبَهِ الرَّجُلِ أُمَّهُ وَإِنَّمَا النُّطْفَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ «نُطْفَةُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْضَاءُ غَلِيظَةٌ وَنُطْفَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ حَمْرَاءُ رَقِيقَةٌ فَأَيُّهُمَا غَلَبَ صَاحِبَتَهَا كَانَ الشَّبَهُ لَهُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَكَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوهَا؟ قَالَ «زِيَادَةُ كَبِدِ حُوتٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ «نَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَتَسُوقُ النَّاسَ إِلَى مَحْشَرِهِمْ» فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ
