حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ عُرْفًا} فَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، إِذْ خَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ مِنْ جُحْرِهَا فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا لِنَقْتُلَهَا، فَسَبَقَتْنَا فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ، كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا " . وَعَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ وَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ رَطْبَةً. وَتَابَعَهُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ. وَقَالَ حَفْصٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ.
ʿAbda ibn ʿAbd Allah informed us: Yahya ibn Adam informed us, from Israʾil, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from ʿAlqama, from ʿAbd Allah, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a cave when ‘By those sent forth in succession’ (Qur’an 77:1) was revealed. We were receiving it directly from his mouth when a snake came out of its hole. We rushed to kill it, but it reached its hole before us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘It was protected from your harm, just as you were protected from its harm.’ Israʾil also reported from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrahim, from ʿAlqama, from ʿAbd Allah, similarly, adding: ‘We were receiving it fresh from his mouth.’ Abu ʿAwana corroborated him from Mughira. Hafs, Abu Muʿawiya, and Sulayman ibn Qarm reported from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from ʿAbd Allah.
