حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَبَّهُ فَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَفَّ شَعْرِي لِمَا قُلْتَ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِقِصَّتِهِ ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ دَاوُدَ أَتَمُّ وَأَطْوَلُ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibn Numayr narrated to us: my father narrated to us: Isma'il narrated to us, from al-Sha'bi, from Masruq, who said: I asked 'A'isha, 'Did Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) see his Lord?' She replied, 'Glory be to Allah! My hair stood on end at what you said.' He then related the hadith with its story. Dawud's hadith is more complete and longer.

Translation notes

  • The source's phrase literally describes the hair bristling; ‘my hair stood on end’ conveys the idiom.
