حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا صَاعِدٌ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَابُوسُ بْنُ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَرَأَيْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : (ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ ) مَا عَنَى بِذَلِكَ قَالَ قَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا يُصَلِّي فَخَطَرَ خَطْرَةً فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَهُ أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّ لَهُ قَلْبَيْنِ قَلْبًا مَعَكُمْ وَقَلْبًا مَعَهُمْ . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : (ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ ) . حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .

Qabus ibn Abi Zabyan reported from his father: ‘We asked Ibn ‘Abbas about Allah’s words “Allah has not made for any man two hearts within his body” (Qur’an 33:4), asking what they meant. He said: “One day the Prophet stood to pray and was distracted by a passing thought. The hypocrites who prayed with him said, ‘Do you not see that he has two hearts—a heart with you and a heart with them?’ Then Allah revealed, ‘Allah has not made for any man two hearts within his body.’”’
A similar report was transmitted by Ahmad ibn Yunus from Zuhayr. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan report.
