Sahih al-Bukhari 3372
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ {رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي} وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ لُوطًا، لَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ طُولَ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفُ لأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ ".
Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to us: Ibn Wahb narrated to us: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salama ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman and Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘We have more right than Ibrahim to say, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Do you not believe?” He replied, “Yes, but so that my heart may be reassured.”’ (Qur’an 2:260) And may Allah have mercy on Lut! He used to seek refuge in a strong support. If I had remained in prison as long as Yusuf did, I would have answered the caller.’
