Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3364

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ هُوَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ انْسُبْ لَنَا رَبَّكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ‏‏‏‏ 1 ‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ‏‏‏‏ 2 ‏‏‏‏ سورة الإخلاص آية 1-2 فَالصَّمَدُ:‏‏‏‏ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ لَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يُولَدُ إِلَّا سَيَمُوتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يَمُوتُ إِلَّا سَيُورَثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَمُوتُ وَلَا يُورَثُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ سورة الإخلاص آية 4، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَبِيهٌ وَلَا عِدْلٌ وَلَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ.

Abu Al-Aliyah narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b: “The idolaters were saying to the Messenger of Allah: ‘Name the lineage of your Lord for us.’ So Allah, Most High, revealed: Say: “He is Allah, the One. Allah As-Samad.” So As-Samad is ‘the One Who does not beget, nor is He begotten,’ because there is nothing born except it will die, and there is nothing that dies except that it will be inherited from, and verily. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, does not die, nor is He inherited from. ‘And there is none comparable to Him.’ He said: ‘There is nothing similar to Him, nor equal to Him, nor is there anything like Him.’”
