حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ، وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ ، قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شَيْءٌ فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ : عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا , قَالَ : فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : غَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ خَنِينٌ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ : رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا , قَالَ : فَقَامَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ فُلاَنٌ , فَنَزَلَتْ : {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ}.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) heard something about his Companions, and he delivered a Khutbah and said: ‘Paradise and Hell were shown to me, and I have never seen good and evil as (I did) today. If you knew what I know you would laugh little and weep much.”’ He said: “There was never a day harder for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) than that day. They covered their heads and wept. Then ‘Umar stood up and said: ‘We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.’ That man stood up and said: ‘Who is my father?’ He (s.a.w) said: ‘Your father is so-and-so.’ Then the Verse: ‘O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. was revealed.”
