(4). 3240. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "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-Qāsim, when Allāh places the heavens upon this, the earths upon this, the water upon this, the mountains upon this, and the rest of creation upon this?'"" - Muḥammad bin Aṣ-Ṣalt, Abū Ja'far (one of the narrators) indicated first with his little finger, then followed one by one until he reached the index finger - "So Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime revealed: They made not a just estimate of Allāh such as is due to Him."[1] (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīh, we do not know of it [as a narration of Ibn 'Abbās] except from this route. Abū Kudainah's (a narrator in the chain) name is Yaḥyā bin Al-Muḥallab. [He said:] I saw Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl reporting this Hadīth from Al-Ḥasan bin Shujā' from Muḥammad bin Aṣ-Ṣalt.

٣٢٤٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الضُّحَى ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «مَرَّ يَهُودِيٌّ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا يَهُودِيُّ حَدِّثْنَا». فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِذَا وَضَعَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى ذِهِ، وَالْأَرْضَ عَلَى ذِهِ، وَالْمَاءَ عَلَى ذِهِ، وَالْجِبَالَ عَلَى ذِهِ، وَسَائِرَ الْخَلْقِ عَلَى ذِهِ، وَأَشَارَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ بِخِنْصَرِهِ أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ تَابَعَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْإِبْهَامَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: {وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ} هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَأَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ.
