Sunan Ibn Majah 47
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ خِدَاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ تَلاَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُولُو الأَلْبَابِ} . فَقَالَ " يَا عَائِشَةُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِيهِ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ " .
Muhammad ibn Khalid ibn Khidash narrated to us: Ismail ibn Ulayyah narrated to us: Ayyub narrated to us. (Another chain:) Ahmad ibn Thabit al-Jahdari and Yahya ibn Hakim both narrated to us: Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us: Ayyub narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Abi Mulaykah, from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: He is the One who sent down the Book to you; in it are verses that are clear and definitive—they are the foundation of the Book—and others that are ambiguous... up to His saying: None take heed except people of understanding. [Quran 3:7] Then he said: Aishah, when you see those who dispute about it, they are the ones Allah meant, so beware of them.
Translation notes
The Arabic gives two chains, the second specifying Ayyub from Abdullah ibn Abi Mulaykah from Aishah. The report quotes Quran 3:7 from its opening through the clause about people of understanding, with an ellipsis marking the intervening wording; this editorial span is made explicit.
