(11). 3141. 'Abdullāh said: "I took a walk with the Prophet ﷺ on a farm in Al-Madīnah, and when he reclined upon a palm-leaf stalk, a group of Jews were passing by. Some of them said, 'We should question him.' Others said: 'Do not question him for he might tell you something that you do not like.' They said to him: 'O Abul-Qāsim, narrate to us about the Rūh.' The Prophet ﷺ stood for some time, he raised his head toward the heavens, and I recognized revelation was coming to him, until the revelation ceased. Then he (ﷺ) said: "The Rūh is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you have been given only a little."[1] (Ṣāḥih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣāḥih.

Commentary
The Rūh (the spirit) about which the question is asked is disputed whether it is about the human spirit or it is another spirit.
