حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرَّ يَهُودِيٌّ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا يَهُودِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدِّثْنَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِذَا وَضَعَ اللَّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ عَلَى ذِهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَرْضَ عَلَى ذِهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمَاءَ عَلَى ذِهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْجِبَالَ عَلَى ذِهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَائِرَ الْخَلْقِ عَلَى ذِهْ وَأَشَارَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ بِخِنْصَرِهِ أَوَّلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَابَعَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْإِبْهَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ سورة الأنعام آية 91. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيل رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: A Jew passed by the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'O you Jew! Narrate something to us.' So he said: 'What shall you say O Abul-Qasim, when Allah places the heavens upon this, the earths upon this, the water upon this, the mountains upon this, and the rest of creation upon this?' - Muhammad bin As-Salt, Abu Ja'far (one of the narrators) indicated first with his little finger, then followed one by one until he reached his index finger - So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed: They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him (39:67).
