Musnad Ahmad 331
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْزَلَ مَعَهُ الْكِتَابَ فَكَانَ مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ وَلَا تَرْغَبُوا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ كُفْرٌ بِكُمْ أَوْ إِنَّ كُفْرًا بِكُمْ أَنْ تَرْغَبُوا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُطْرُونِي كَمَا أُطْرِيَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ فَقُولُوا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ كَمَا أَطْرَتْ النَّصَارَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ.
‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Ma‘mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Utbah ibn Mas‘ud, from Ibn ‘Abbas, from ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, with the truth and sent down the Book with him. Among what was sent down to him was the verse concerning stoning; the Messenger of Allah stoned, and we stoned after him. Then he said: ‘We used to recite: “Do not turn away from your fathers, for that would be disbelief on your part”—or, “It is disbelief on your part to turn away from your fathers.” Then the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Do not exaggerate in praising me as the son of Mary was praised. I am only a servant, so say, “Allah’s servant and His Messenger.”’ Ma‘mar may have said, ‘As the Christians exaggerated in praising the son of Mary.’
