7456. Narrated 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: While I was walking with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in one of the fields of Al-Madīna and he was walking leaning on a stick, he passed by a group of Jews. Some of them said to the others, "Ask him (the Prophet ﷺ) about the Rūh (spirit)." Others said, "Do not ask him." But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick and I was standing behind him and I thought that he was being inspired Divinely. Then he said, "And they ask you (Muḥammad ﷺ) concerning the Rūh (the spirit) say: 'The Rūh, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little.'" (V.17:85) On that some of the Jews said to the others, "Didn't we tell you not to ask?" [See Hadīth No. 125, 4721].

7456 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ، فَمَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ اليَهُودِ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لاَ تَسْأَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ، فَسَأَلُوهُ، «فَقَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى العَسِيبِ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ»: {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ العِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} [الإسراء: 85]، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: قَدْ قُلْنَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَسْأَلُوهُ
